Artist's Comments

Woo, it's been a while. I decided I wasn't going to post until I actually colored something, so here you go. Mega into strong women and all that jazz and nothing beats a gryphon guardian.

As for a quick update on me, I got a job--I'm a Beauty Adviser, the irony-- and it feels so good to get that first paycheck. Now that my life has settled a bit I can see what my goals are-- shelter+ stable income = ability to pursue art career. Eventually I'll be reopening commissions and catching up on those prize bookmarks (all my materials are at the old house) but for now I need to do the best I can at this job and make some money. I'm viewing work like I view a video game; learn as much as possible, build up your skills, and level up. XD I hope everyone is doing well!

Those colors are so gorgeous! Glad to see your work again, it's always good to see you chugging ahead despite real life issues. Besides that, your crazy awesome designs always blow me away.

I need to buy the guidebook for the video game of life D: I hope you'll do fabulously at your new job and in your renewed life. I know that you'll be fine! <3 :hug:

Glad to hear you are around again! I was getting worried about you *hug* Lovely picture. I can certainly tell you are more settled now, because of your art. It changes when you are upset.

Does it change? I'm so out of it when life is going nuts I don't even realize. Thank you :hug: I think I'll be 100% once I get my own apartment.

Thanks, I really wanted to do something with warm colors because I tend to stick with cool tones shades. It was a bit of a struggle but worth the experience. Thanks so much luv :glomp:

Lol, a manual to life would be nice. I keep looking... >_>

I was thinking while I was recreating calluses on my fingers while doing all the detail that this sort of picture could easily be finished with a background if and when I feel like it, especially since the edges are so clean. It might be cool to do a series of character designs and then place them in full out pictures. I just don't have the focus for it now.

Thanks so much :smooch: I'll keep chugging -self pity isn't really my thing anyways XD- and keep being creative. Oh, I'm thinking of changing my last name, btw!
