Wicked banner and style! I noticed your tumblr post about art partners: I'm searching for others to make a "circle of trust" (term by Chris Oatley) of painters with more aligned time zones/availability, but as a night owl in PST it's been, well, unsuccessful, and I'm not sure where you hail from? If you're still interested slip me a note and we can nerd out on art. Here's more reference of my skill set: http://keayart.com/

Thank you very kindly as well! I am very much looking forward to more of your beautiful and inspiring work~!

Your work is absolutely stunning. You have a lot of talent. I was reading in other comments about your previous experience and I'm sorry you had to go through that (it's like many of us share similar stories, it's kind of sad)
I'm really happy you found your motivation again and went back to drawing. Your work is truly amazing ♥

Its okay - I may still have bitter taste out of it, but emotionally not influence me anymore.
In this 1 year of hiatus I at least had some relaxing gaming time and could try many pc games which I forbid for myself since I liked bette to draw over playing. It got now balanced and I find healthy time for everything; art and game equally. :>
Such thing happen a lot, with many people not only artists. I always had my moral support from Crypticsorrow who was stubborn enough to give me space when needed and pour in me limitless creative spirit once I decided to pick my pen up again.
It was bad to trash my old project out, especially that most of my portfolio worth works were illustration from it and just by looking at them made me remember the effort I spent into it for nothing, but where rain falls, rainbow follows, I got new ideas, concepts now to work with. New refreshing ideas with more chances in them and I also rephrased my own connection with online galleries and followers so while I was trying to please my followers, I lost the dynamism of my art. I not only got it back now but found my style finally I am satisfied with.
That is where my nick from; I was walking clockwise, trying to be better but got stuck, walking widdershins anti-clockwise back to my roots and I feel like reborn and a lot more easy. I just hope people with similar issues can find their path back to "Life" as well, just as I did.Art is about brighten the world and Life. It is about to bring people to a fantastic world of the creators unique mind and by it drag out the everyday troubles and hardships for a bit and give some peace. Art is a gift, no matter talent, year, experience - creating should be about joy and happiness. :>
Sorry for the long babbling, but thank you also for your kind words, I appreciate it :>

Oh I don't mind the long reply at all. It's always so nice when people is willing to share their stories, especially when they were difficult experiences. It let us see that behind all the nice art there's always a person creating it, it's funny but sometimes people also tend to forget that.
I'm happy you're emotionally better now, and thay you found your drive again. It's certainly as you say, one must not forget to enjoy what is done, art is supposed to make us happy in the first place and then the rest of the world. It's really easy to get carried away by the nice feeling of having followers and other people finding your art beautiful and start doing it only so you continue receiving those things. It's important to make nice art but is even more important to please yourself first and foremost.
It's also better that you found a balance between art and playing. Playing is always important XD

Nothing big, someone I was very close to and had a 2 years old project with (I put all my efforts and free time into) separated from me trashing everything by it, and also closed the same day all connection with me (one day to another without warning we got cut from one another).
Life for her went like nothing happened - I had troubles to close it and really to understand it. Since our interest was the same her works kept popping up in clubs I also member of and after a time I just stopped drawing feeling empty and out of inspiration since my ideas/concepts were all based on the project and could not stand up from the blow that easily.
Only recently started drawing again, but changed fandom entirely to have a new more different start to being with to win back what I feel got lost 1 year ago.

And you have some really neat characters! I remember seeing the demon here and there but always lost track until now. Love his atmosphere :>
Cant wait to see more works you get of him and also thanks for the follow :>-
My characters are mostly over on FA. I don't come on here to much since people are so inactive over here. x.X
I'll try to update stuff over here. I often forget about this place since it's quiet and you are welcome!-
I just recently started using my FA account, used it only for photos since I work with foxes pretty close and I had a full year of art hiatus.
If you send me link to your FA account would like to follow you, since I like the artists you usually commission and I just dig your demon character. Fan of his since 2 years? Not sure but always enjoyed seeing art with him over dA. :>-
Ooo... Love real photos and videos on foxes. Beautiful animals.
My Fa username is anonymously_insane My da died and my old one I had to delete from it being slandered in tumblr. Someone twisted my words and made up shit. Now I just use da to find artists.
-
I must agree, I never can get bored of them. I got the luck to raise one of my own, an orphan rescued one trusted under my care and it brightens my day for sure :>
I dislike dA, it was a great site but it lost a lot from what it was. I have gallery there as well but too many crap I got up from that site to make me not ant to socialize with the community there anymore. What you say about dA not surprises me, not you the first I hear to have trouble with word twisting and crap, and probably not the last one either. :<
Ill go and follow you on FA as well then :>-
Was it a handful still though? A fox is a wild animal.
I agree... it was good at one time but not the comunity sucks and the artists become really cruel. A lot of them anyway. Though where I was slandered was not DA... it was tumblr. I HATE tumblr and would love to boycot it but I no everyone is like obsessed with that no justice site.
:P
