It's always exciting to see someone hone their skills to the point where they go beyond emulating their inspiration to a place where they can explore the things inside their head.

There are no shortcuts - everyone gets out of it what they put into it. Whether you've heard of Ian Olympia, aka wicked alucard, is not entirely important.
