    Hey there! Thank you very much for watching my gallery here! Have a great week!

    Thankyou! Your work is very lovely aswell. :D and yes, its always great to find more people that are on Weasyl, The setup of this website is really quite nice!

  • Link

    <3 your art always makes me happy.

    • Link

      Oh goodness you're too sweet, you're going to make these ears blush haha. The feeling is mutual! Somewhat related, I need to remind myself to update character reference sheets so I can bug you about either an eventual trade or commission.

      • Link

        Aaaahhhhh yesss!!! Anytime ^___^ I would be so so happy to do a trade! <3333

        • Link

          Awesome! I don't want to commit to anything currently since I got commissions to work on, but I want to chew through these as fast as I can, then I'll contact you (either here or on Twitter) and see if we can't set something up! I need to whip up better references of most of my characters anyway.

          • Link

            Perfect!! :D Works for me! <3333

    I remember you showing me this band before, if I am correct, and I had this faint feeling of familiarity.
    Well, I just found this song scattered throughout my playlist; I remember it has been months, maybe even more than year, since I had stashed this in.

  • Link

    Thanks a lot! =)

  • Link

    Your work is so interesting & unique.

    Hey! How have you been these day?

    I wanted to ask, how do you feel about Celtic Inspired music?
    Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFvpMObnzB8&index=200&list=FL0r2VUrb0QzETrZ_LOPyIvA

    • Link

      Busy, unfortunately. It explains why I've been so scarce lately and I haven't had enough time nor the right mindset to socialize. Soon though things should clear up a bit! I'm never too busy to read and eventually respond to messages so don't feel like you shouldn't do such. Hopefully things on your end have been copacetic though!

      Anything Celtic, whether that being Punk rock, ceilidh bands, pagan, folk groups, is one of my favorite subsets of music. I love being ear-deep in reading about Celtic history and culture. That is some beautiful music and not a group I was familiar with, so thank you for sharing!

      There's an awesome trio that comes here every year for the Reno Celtic Celebration called Molly's Revenge. I looked but apparently they do not have any of their CDs uploaded but they have live concerts posted like this one here in Wyoming.

  • Link

    AAAAAH! HELLO!

    • Link

      Gah, how did I miss this shout? Sorry about the delayed response Jer! I swear I'm not avoiding you.

      It's been forever, I have to say. Your art is coming along nicely I've noticed! How have you been these days?

      • Link

        Naw, I didn't think you were avoiding! OR WERE YOU?! >:I

        And it has, things have been going pretty alright, nothing too special or interesting.

        I could also say the same for your art! :D

  • Link

    Hmm, I just have to share this with you:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPqFMYUZ8VU

  • Link

    Hello!

    Since we talked about music, there is something I really want to ask you: Have you by chance heard of Agalloch?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHk5EnSuOV0&index=93&list=FL0r2VUrb0QzETrZ_LOPyIvA

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHJjSSrR6x4

    • Link

      I have not, but you have effectively rectified that! Another band I need to put on my "To Download" list it seems, after listening to them for a while. And I have to thank you for introducing me to the previous artists as well, as I'm thoroughly hooked now.

      Since I have not given nearly as much as I've received, have you heard of the group called Faun? Lovely pagan folk band, the lead vocalist of which has a gorgeous voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYpEdXhnOB4

      • Link

        As a matter of fact, I have heard of them! I discovered them alongside either Wardruna or Daemonia Nymphe, not sure which.
        Their music seem to strike me with a communion with the primordial beauty of nature. Truly astonishing.
        They have this... certain mixture of a Celtic and Medieval feel, obviously though, a feeling imagined and envisioned by them. Though they do a splendid job at it.

        Despite that, I have not given them as much attention as I think they would have deserved, unfortunately.

        Anyway... Something else I would like to show you now... Have I, by chance, showed you this before?
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PikcpTjGj2Y

        ...A slightly more Egyptian feel :)

        • Link

          My musical cup runneth over! I've been listening to that album over and over for the past two hours now.

          When I have more free time I simply must reciprocate and share more of my own. Unfortunately I'm going to be wicked busy so my presence around here will be sporadic for most of the month, so delays in replies are unfortunately par for the course right now...

  • Link

    Thanks for the follow Grin

  • Link

    Thanks for the fave. =)

  • Link

    Heya..I know we don't really know each other but I just wanted to say that I hope you're OK. If you ever need someone to talk to my notes are always open plus my Skype is my user name but mostly just hope life starts treating you & yours a bit kinder.

    • Link

      Thank you kindly for the offer, which I might take up. Although I will be scarce around the Internet for a while since we've got the funeral today, and then we'll be visiting family in California and then we'll be having family up here. Having more pleasant people to talk to and shoot the breeze would be a good thing though.

  • Link

    Thanks again! =) Glad you like it.

  • Link

    Thanks a lot! =)

  • Link

    Thank you for the follow, this is some impressive detailed work!

  • Link

  • Link

    Love your critter designs, and use of pen! I hope to be as skilled in traditional media one day...

  • Link

    I just want to leave a shout here.. to say that you are a constant inspiration to me <3

    • Link

      Ackfds, you're mighty sweet you know that? Sheesh, you're getting me all flustered. I could say the same for you! We still have to do some kind of trade or collaboration some time.

  • Link

    Thank you for the +watch!

  • Link

    Thank you so much for the follow! 8D

    Thanks for following Sparkyopteryx :) - your work is slick, particularly love the Statuesque and Freakshow's anguish drawings!

  • Link

    Thanks for following :)

  • Link

    Thank you for the interest, and whoa, your stuff is pretty keen on its own merit, too!

    • Link

      Oh, why thank you! Hope my future uploads don't disappoint in that case!

  • Link

    Thanks for the favorite!

  • Link

    Thank you for the +follow - it is greatly appreciated. : )

  • Link

    Thanks allot for the fav and the follow :) !

  • Link

    Thank you kindly for the watch! :D

  • Link

    thank you for the kind words. Well i only just started migrating my gallery here from Fur affinity, , and before that it was art spots and yerf, so other than yerf, I wasn't all that comparatively that visible.

  • Link

    Thank you for the watch!

  • Link

    Thanks for the watch. :D I was just quietly admiring your work last night before I headed off to bed.

  • Link

    Wow... thanks for the fave and the follow. I've always thought that you had that perfect blend of realism and personality in your own artwork, which is something I used to attempt but at some point failed to achieve. So this is flattering.

    • Link

      Thank you for the kind words, and you are most welcome! Even if I do not comment on everything, your writing is a joy to read and your art is always interesting and dynamic. It's great to see someone that can tell a story as much with a picture as with words.

  • Link

    Looks like I found a damn good artist right here.

    • Link

      Make sure to tell that "damn good artist" to contact me ASAP; she owes me money.... oh wait.

      (In all seriousness, thank you very much for the follow! It is much appreciated.)

  • Link

    Hey there :]

    • Link

      Oh shit, it is that guy (I don't know if that's going to become a running gag or not). It's good to see you around these parts; this place is so much easier on the eyes if you ask me.

      Your profile info is the best, by the way (seriously I have to change mine every month or two otherwise I hate it).

  • Link

    Thanks for the follow =D

  • Link

    Thank you for the kind words~ Your work is always so amazingly well detailed and unique! Glad to see you here~ instant +follow!

  • Link

    Thank you very much for following me! ^^

  • Link

    Thanks so much for stopping by and following my work! I really appreciate that!

  • Link

    AHma watchin' YOUUuuuu!

    • Link

      No you're n-- wait, yes you are. Good. Fine! You do that!
      ...I don't know what I'm getting at with this. In all seriousness, I appreciate it greatly!

  • Link

    Thank you very much for stopping by my page and for the follow. You have some serious skill as well! Great style!

  • Link

    Thanks allot for the fav !!

  • Link

    it was a pleasure looking through your gallery!

    • Link

      Haha, well I'm glad to hear it! It was certainly a surprise to see so many favorites in my inbox, but I'll just consider that the ultimate compliment. Hopefully my future work will continue to meet standards!

  • Link

    You seem like a pretty cool person, and you do lovely work. <3

  • Link

    Thank you for your favorite. I am always honored when an artist of such talent sees something of worth in my humble algorithms.

    • Link

      Oh don't mention it! It was the fractal that drew me, but the compelling poetic structure that had me stay. The rest of your writing is definitely worth the read as well. I apologize for not leaving more comments though; some nights I'm not loquacious enough and all I can leave is a humble favorite or watch.

      • Link

        I thought my writing was more like barely-connected scenes written in wrong English but, hey, thanks for everything! It was more than enough to make this donkey joyous for this night. :3

  • Link

    Thank you very much for the kind words c:

  • Link

    Thank you so much for the follow and the warm welcome! There seems to be at least a smattering of fantasy artists here, and that's more than I've found elsewhere. I hope I don't disappoint!

    • Link

      Oh most definitely; probably one of the main reasons why I like this site, along with the fact that it's easy to use and that I personally know several of the moderators are pretty competent people. There are a few uncovered pits here and there but that is mainly because of it still being in beta, but it's pretty easy to get around 'em.

  • Link

    Very nice gallery you have here, thank you for following me as well! ^.^

  • Link

    Your art seriously blows me away..... *whooosh* :D

  • Link

    Hi there, I thought I recognised the drawing style the moment I saw you banner image. Nice to see you here too.

    • Link

      I could definitely say the same for you, especially that costume. I still love that photo you're using for your Weasyl banner. Hope you like it here; I've been here for a while now and so far I'm not disappointed!

  • Link

    Awesome inks and pencil.

  • Link

    God, I gotta catch up on all your work! I've been neglecting it! D:

  • Link

    Thank you for returning the watch. <3

  • Link

    thank you very much for the favorite and the watch :3

  • Link

    Hi there!

    Thanks for the +fav! :)

  • Link

    Hey there. =)

  • Link

    As always, i thank you for the fav on my dodgy photography.

    :3

    • Link

      Oh pff, you're too hard on yourself! Keep up the good work; as it is with art, the only way to go is up!

      • Link

        Well somebody has to be hard on me. And thank you again, just wish I could post more bird photography. But, there are no local zoos where I am living now alas. But Christmas is around the corner, and it looks like snow this year, so expect christmas themed photography in the coming month.

        :3

        Keep up the amazing work yourself, always look forward to seeing new stuff from yourself.

        • Link

          Yeah I guess being critical of your work once in a while helps with motivation; its helped me a few times, after all. I can dig Christmas stuff, especially it being in Germany. Looking forward to it!

  • Link

    Oh hey :) Thanks for the watch, and have one in return.

  • Link

    Your art is intriguing <3

  • Link

    That urban fantasy novel sounds really interesting :)

  • Link

    Thank you for the kind words. Your work is very beautiful so I'll follow you here as well :)

  • Link

    Thank you very much for faves and following my friend <hugs>
