Since you did the one of Diana, I'm DYING to see one of Willow~ <33 She really gets no love, which I don't get why... XD Who can resist a fluffy, yellow sheep?

It was interesting to try to incorporate her textures into clothing and hair. But I'm pretty happy with how she turned out. She's the first one to really "flow" while I was attempting to draw them, so far.

Hope you like her!

The shading on this one kind of died a little bit when I scanned it, so I added some base color underneath just to emphasize that she was meant to be darker. She inspired me almost right away when I looked at her colors and design and I got a pretty clear picture in my head of what I wanted her to look like. And something about her really strikes me as sort of shy, but kind and well-meaning (I guess that's more how the normals strike me in general, but still).

I hope you approve of the result. I think she's my favorite so far.

Oh my goodness she's precious. You did a wonderful job!! Really really love it, thank you so much <3 Your art is so lovely!

Here you go~ Hope you like him.

I don't really add animal ears to my gijinkas, but I thought his hoodie could have little floppy bunny ears on it. Hahaha.

OMIGOSH, I LOVE HIM! ;w; <3333 You've managed to capture all of Snake's enthusiasm and positive radiance in a single picture. I couldn't be happier! *hugs you tight and never lets go* Thank you for (always) being such a dear. I will cherish this picture forever. :blush: <3

Yaaay~ I'm glad you liked how he turned out. At least in the case of Snake, I had a taste of him in my town for a good month or so, thus I had more of a general idea of what he was like than some of the others that I've done here so far. I'm glad his personality shone through enough! Jock types in general definitely give off a very energetic and go-getter vibe, so I'm relieved that came through.

And I'm sincerely glad that you're happy with it. I know it's just a sketch, but I'm very pleased that you enjoyed it, nonetheless.

Ooh!! Yay!! :D She looks adorable! THANK YOU!!! <33 If it's okay with you, I totally wanna plop on some color on her. Nothing fancy since I don't really feel remotely confident in trying to do actual line art.

Awww thank youuuu~! I'm glad that you liked her design! (I'll put these on tumblr eventually but mehhhhh too late tonight to really think or do any more things.) I'm not entirely sure why "ponytail" popped into mind when I was looking at her deer form, but I rolled with it~ Pretty happy that I did in the end. lol

You're welcome. I'm glad that you liked her. And if you want to add some color, feel free. I don't mind.

She strikes me as a little on the younger side. And for the fun of it, I drew her with a teddy bear. : P Hope you like it.

May or may not do any more of these. I haven't decided, but leaning toward not. Might do some on my own. I get the feeling people haven't liked them that much anyway, despite how many are asking for them. Even with doing all these, I didn't so much as get a single tip, so I guess people just wanted free art. lol I'm not asking for them or anything, but it does kind of make you feel like your art is crap/wasn't worth it.

I feel these are absolutely stunning and would gladly tip, I am sorry to hear you have not been getting the appreciation you deserve >: Regardless of what you decide to do, I feel your art is absolutely stunning and always just enjoy taking a look at each piece, I particularly love your AhiruxFakir pieces<(^_^)>I hope you will continue to draw even if just to show old/new works:)

Hey, no worries. Truth be told, I'm just feeling really crappy about myself and everything I do lately and it's been really difficult to pick myself up from it. This stuff wouldn't bother me, normally---I consider myself a pretty positive person. I just thought that since so many people have PMed me over asking if I'd ever open up a shop or posted on my thread with the same sentiments, that the reception would be a little warmer, I guess. I tested the waters with some requests to see how things would pan out. I know that no one was intentionally trying to make me feel bad. It's really my own fault for not being able to appreciate my own art as much lately and it's lame of me to have expected to get a pick-me-up from someone else. Still, I can't really control how I feel.

I appreciate that you've enjoyed my art, though, thanks. I don't mean to begrudge anyone who has supported me, as I am grateful for that and happy when someone likes something. This heavy mood has just been ruining everything for me lately, since I'm more used to being able to pep and pick myself up more.

I'll certainly continue to draw, regardless. It's my passion and I wouldn't give it up for the world. So no need to be concerned about that. As for the rest of it, I don't know yet. I don't make decisions when I'm feeling incredibly down, because I usually regret them later.

I can certainly understand feeling down and not being able to perk up >: I am glad that art is a passion for you, it is always very uplifting for anyone to have something to be passionate about; for me it is web design and still hope to improve, I myself get down on myself a lot about my work, but I know I am working hard at what I love. Your artwork is quite inspirational and I too someday hope to refine my artistic skills in order to integrate designs together<3

I truly hope you feel better sweetie<3 I have seen you around on the museum and your thread, I hope to continue to see your lovely work even just displayed, I find it quite beautiful and love just being able to witness the artistic capabilities of others<(^_^)>For me it really is uplifting to see so much gorgeous work regardless of whether someone is simply displaying or commissioning, I am a lover of art. Hope to continue to see all your lovely pieces:D

Sorry for rambling haha >_<

Yeah, I really don't know what I'd do without the few passions that I have. Though it does suck when you wade through things like art block and writing block, which can add even more frustrations and poor feelings in on top of that. Glad to hear that you have a passion of your own, though. It's always nice to have something to work toward and keep improving on. Without goals, where would we be in life? lol Best of luck with your endeavors and I'm honored that anything of mine could be considered an inspiration.

I appreciate this a lot, thanks. I've had a hard time trying to fit in here the last month since I joined, but I like to believe that giving up and leaving just isn't the right answer. And I have met some cool folks here, too. Again, I'm really honored that you enjoy my work and it means a lot to me, especially when you're not getting on my case to open a shop or something.

No need to apologize! Ahaha, not to me, anyway. I'm quite a rambling and long-winded, myself. ...If you couldn't tell. Sometimes it helps just talking about stuff, though. And I appreciate you being a listening ear. Thanks a lot.

On the contrary, I'm sorry to hear that you've been through the same sort of thing. It's surprising to hear how many artists have, really. I mean, shops around here do real art for fake game money or fake currency on a site and people are even reluctant to give that. How sad. I'm definitely never, ever going to open a shop here, that's for sure.

It's not that I necessarily think people dislike me, but rather that getting art is so common and so easy to get around here that artists seem to be largely slighted and largely under-appreciated for what they do. This is by no means limited to just me. I just think it's pretty terrible that the focus of this entire section of the forums is not showing off work, but buying/selling it and tons and tons and tons of threads ASKING for it. I did talk to a mod about that and they said they would bring it up at a staff discussion and whatnot, but I won't get my hopes up too much. I just really hope there will be some changes around here. I now COMPLETELY understand why so many of the old artist threads are dead. Even the one person I ordered something from about a month ago vanished into thin air, but I don't care so much about the lost game money I paid and more that I hope they didn't feel so overwhelmed here that they had to just leave. Because I would completely understand.
