    YOU'RE A TOTAL SWEETIE.
    9000/10.

    But no really-- Real talk. You're always a sweetheart to your watchers and followers. You also ASK for peoples opinions so you can improve. That's not something a lot of people tend to do.

    You also have some pretty rockin' art to match so. YEAH. GOOD ART. GOOD PERSONALITY. STRIVING TO IMPROVE.
    That's all anyone can really want out of an artist. ; v ;

      -goes a bit teary eyed- thank you! so much for taking the time to give me this. I'll continue to work as hard as I can for the sake of art and fun.

        -SNIFF-
        YES.
        GO FORTH AND MAKE ME PROUD.

      I agree with this wholeheartedly! Id also like to add the passion I can see in your art! I dont think you need to change one little bit!

  • Link

    I really have to agree with SpikedKanine up there. As far as your art goes...the style is lovely and unique, I can easily pick it out from a dozen painted-style pieces if names were not attached. And the fact you strive to improve instead of constantly bashing your own art is very admirable.

    Now, I can't commission people since I don't have PayPal...but from what I see and all, you communicate with people and if you do that with commissioners--that is a mega-bonus!!! Just from reading so many people's journals on FA about people they've commissioned and the MONTHS they've waited and they've asked without answer on their commission...I think you're levels above others because you do communicate with people. And you are friendly...it doesn't get any better than that!

      Here's a nifty way to pay people for art, without needing a PayPal account:
      (well, assuming Happy does invoices)

      • Link

        I always wondered, since I could pay for convention passes with my credit card, even though it's through PayPal. I didn't know if a person with PayPal actually had to set it up specifically for that or what... laughs

        I'm old, so I don't understand the internet as well as the youngsters. chuckle. Thanks for explaining that to me!!!

        • Link

          Hopefully it helps you, and opens up a whole new world of artists to commission! ^,=,^

          • Link

            thank you! i do invoices so this is very wonderful .//w.

            • Link

              I may be able to commission you! flails happily

          • Link

            Like this one! tee-hee

      • Link

        thats freak'n awesome! thanks! and it pains me to realize that I coulda figured that out on my own but seeing as I never had anybody with a lack of paypal..... you'd think that'd be common sense

    • Link

      thank you so much for you time in giving me this review! I really appreciate it and I'll do my best to continue with my work!

      • Link

        You are most welcome! hugs

  • Link

    I have to agree with everyone else. Your artwork is very lovely and very well done. I can see why you have so many commissions (or commissions at all). You're also very nice (although I've only talked to you a few times, never in depth though so I probably don't know what I'm talking about).
    Over all, I think your artwork is lovely. It's easily distinguishable and colored really well. It's why I was so shocked you followed me LOL. Keep up the awesome work, m'dear! You're doing great!!

    • Link

      I really do love pretty boys x///d and an anime feel to artwork is why i followed you! Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it!

      • Link

        Haha well pretty boys are fun. Especially fun to create. I love owls so we're on equal terms here in regards to our tastes (sorta! I dunno what I'm talking about)! LOL! You're very welcome! Anytime. OuO (and thank you...)

    I don't know how collections work but I'd love to help you with the taum hoardings
    As of your art. The art I've seen for story modes are amazing, great colors but the values could always be alittle higher. As in just add some more highlights or shadows but that's just a personal preference of mine.Your overal idea and exicution is great though, you have wonderful abilities with backgrounds and I love seeing them. Your game characters are adorable.

    • Link

      Collections are basically a folder for art that was drawn for you by someone else!

      If you commissioned someone or they drew some fanart for you-- all they have to do is send you a collections request and It'll be part of your collection!

      • Link

        I know that but I still can't use collections it seems

        • Link

          .....That's weird? o_O

          I know sometimes they collection requests get blocked if haven't changed your settings to allow mature and up drawings to be seen by you.

          • Link

            I'll try to change my setting. I've never been able to use the collection ability.

            • Link

              If you still can't-- you might wanna ask an admin about that. :U

    • Link

      I'll try to do some studies on values for myself then .//w. Thank you so much.

  • Link

    I've seen your skill just grow and grow, and I really admire your digital paintings. Your style, approach, and choice of colors really make things pop juicily and come alive--they look like traditional paintings, too. I have to check the category sometimes to make sure. XD Your openness to critique and striving for improvement is an ideal motivation to see in an artist. It's inspiring!
    Your positive attitude and friendly interactions with your followers and the community is what helped me get accustomed to Weasyl. It was a very refreshing atmosphere to be welcomed into, and so when I think of Weasyl, you're the first artist I associate with it in my mind. I can only hope for others to be just as inspired and uplifted by your presence in the community. <33

    • Link

      Thank you! all one can wish for is an awesome place where artists can thrive X//d I think weasyl can really do that. I hope to continue with my growth thank you for taking the time for givign this feedback to me, I am honored.

  • Link

    i've been watching you for a while but i'm still pretty new, but as far as i've seen, you're art has been improving, your commissions and customs, and your game designs are rad as heck

    • Link

      thank you! I hope to continue then! thank you for the feedback and taking your time for it!

  • Link

    Obviously, I've come back for more commissions because you've been excellent to work with. Trello keeps things open, which is great, you're polite, clear, and quick! And, of course, I love the art you put out. :D Sooner or later I'll grab a bigger piece, but I'm trying to keep myself on a budget now. >.>

    You've got some gorgeous brushwork, and evocative colours, and that's absolutely a reason to watch you. If I had to give a complaint, I feel you don't do enough background/detail work. Your dream dragon stuff was wonderful, and it'd be great to see you putting more of your lovely characters into more complicated scenes.

    And while it doesn't need repeating (who am I kidding, it totally does), you've got some adorable designs. :D

    • Link

      I would definately have to try harder in popping those out where i can cause you are very right I don't put out much detailed work. When I do another story mode sometime I would love to put out that same love into it though. With wild cards and taums being my cheaper work, I am gaining alot of knowledge on how to make a base and wonderful start for my bigger projects. Thank you for taking the time to review me, I really appreciate it!

  • Link

    You are easily one of my favourite artists to commission. I love your work, it's beautiful, quirky and original. I love your taums. I love that we can see your queue easily on the Trello, can see our WIPs.

    You are easily approachable. You're super friendly. I love how excitable you are about EVERYTHING.

    I just think you're awesome ^-^

    • Link

      -shys- Thank you so much for letting me work for you! I really love working here and enjoy my art. I'm all for fun and I want it to be the same for others! Trello really is just so wonderful and really helps me keep organized. I really do love it!

    • Link

      ahh i forgot! Thank you! again for reviewing me and taking your time out of your way to do so!

      • Link

        Not a problem :3 It was a pleasure.

  • Link

    You've come a long way! I think you always push yourself to get better, and that's really helped. You've done a lot of challenging stuff. I think as long as you keep striving to improve, you're doing just fine! You're also very kind to your commissioners and everyone else, and that is also definitely a good thing, it brings people back.

    You're doing a wonderful job! And I still remember the lovely giftart you gave me that one time, it's so pretty. ; v ; That always warmed my heart when you'd surprise someone with giftart, especially those who didn't expect it at all, and were treated terribly by others because of their art skill levels.

    • Link

      I really love your character X///d! And I sitll will continue doing so! I'm only one person but i hope it makes someones day a little bit better. Thank you so much for taking the time out to review me! I'll continue to work hard!

  • Link

    I have never commissioned you before so do don't really know how you handle the work flow, but lets see what is can say about what you got so far.

    Right off, your colors are bright and vibrant and work well with other. They pop and are very fun to look at. The values work well with the colors as well, like when you use cool (blues) colors for shadow as a pose to many other people who use straight up black. Be careful though, there are a few time when objects almost get lost between each other because of very similar values.

    The scribbly nature of your painting is very fun too. There are even some times when you make nice and smooth gradients and you make it work well with the scribbles. Still, be careful, using ::Orbor Corpsesmith:: as an example, it took me a minute to figure out that was fire and smoke and not a tree.

    Your drawings are fun too. There is allot of gesture and exaggeration even if the character is gust standing there. But for things that don't take that much exaggeration and more realism, you may need to do some more observation work to improve those kinds of details such as anatomy.

    this is bit more of mass critique. hope that ok.

    • Link

      Ahh this is wonderful! thank you! i'll put that all into consideration, your not the only one who says i need a bit of value work so I'll have to maybe take a week or two to really sit down and work on it. I do also need to dabble more on anatomy as well! Thank you so much for taking out the time for critiquing me its something I did want!

  • Link

    I don't really have much to say in review that hasn't already been repeated by everyone else! You have great color understanding and a good noticeable painting style to boot.
    Your creations are wonderful, your personality is frankly adorable and attractive in the best of ways.
    I know a lot of your work is commissions so you don't get time to really do other stuff, but I feel you should try expanding the styles you do and experiment more (like the recent tribal wildcard commission was great practice for you!)
    Try some hard/cell shading vs the usual soft painting. Try focusing more on higher contrast in terms of highlighting/shading. Maybe draw without opacity on, that usually helps. As well, an easy was to know if you are using too many midtones is by converting to b&w and then squinting. (in case you didnt know haha)

    Also, while they don't look too far off I feel a lot of your feral animal commissions have a bit wonky proportions (such as https://www.weasyl.com/submission/413213/ and https://www.weasyl.com/submission/388323 )
    Choosing similar animals and practicing from reference photos can really help that, eventually you won't need to look at specific pose reference at all!

    Also I will offer any taum art I upload/ed soon uou I cant wait to see everything compiled haha

    • Link

      I .. think i know what your saying about the opacity but i'm not too sure really. I can understand though the other advice such as using gray scale to check the values. A lot of wonderful techniques from back in the old fine arts classes. Anatomy is something i shall get into for sure since i'm a little rusty. Thank you so much for taking your time on all of this! I can't wait to add it all to me collection!

      • Link

        ah like... using solids instead of blending if that makes more sense?

        • Link

          ahhh okay yes thank you XDDD cause i was thinking no opacity and i'm like. but then that just means it'd be on 0 and no one would be able to see it X//d

  • Link

    Was going to say something but I think everyone else did a great job to answer.

    Your style is really very outstanding and easily recognizable. And I see you work very fuently/easily and quite fast for what I could see during that one stream I silently had the pleasure to participate in.

    I am very happy with the piece you did for me still and I hope to commission you again soon perhaps for a taum @0@

  • Link

    I feel like you have a very unique art style that is both pleasing to the eye, and looks like it was a heck fun to do from your behalf. I really enjoy your use of colors, which makes it clear that you have a very good grasp on color theory and such. Not only that, you're very well rounded it seems, with being able to pull off anything from an anthro, to a human, and feral, though you probably prefer fuzzy cute things.

    I just think you're an incredible artist and I've always admired your work. ; v;
