Post whatever you want here too. Pretty active community here, pretty good commentary usually too. Heck might even be able to do some WIP frames and seek tips/tricks while improving too.

Thats a pretty good idea, I just wasnt sure how irritated people would be with me uploading a bunch of human-like characters

LOL as long as you don't upload a picture for each line or curve LOL... I always enjoy when artists put up either work in progress or compilation pieces, its neat to see the process. Its also neat to see how different people achieve similar results, and work in very different mediums.

lol, I dont think I would ever be THAT anal about it. I just really wanna do a different style of art and want to post mostly CG'd mostly finished or completely finished stuff. character designs etc. I wanna try to work more like this guy does. 100% digitally in a more realistic style.

*smiles* I'm always interested in vampires and demons, at the very least (not that you should stop posting your were-animals as well). :)

And I'm proud of you to take the time to step back and work on your own artwork, bringing yourself to the level that you wish to be at.
Sometimes I think a lot of artists around here are more worried about views and fav counts, than actually looking at art in a more professional way, where you have to strive to be the best you can be.

Of course, above all else, always remember that it's meant to be fun. When you first set out to be an artist, I'm sure it was because you wanted to do something you enjoyed doing. Never lose sight of those original desires and goals.

Some days its hard to remember I originally wanted to draw because it was fun. Ive been doing commission work nearly without pause for over a year. Almost since I moved home August 2008.... Once in a while I get to draw something for myself (rarely finishing it either) but Im afraid to try so hard for so long it burns me out. On my vacation it'll be easier for me to take the time out and draw your icons.


Main reason I havent is I've been focusing on the bigger pieces and just keep forgetting, but no worries! I swear you'll get your icons soonish. *crosses fingers* by April 1st Im hoping ^_____^ I love you for waiting so long and being so sweet!

Yeah, that's not a good way to work. Once something like artwork loses the fun aspect, it only becomes work; and it's a lot of work for the minimal reward that usually comes with it.

It really is best to step back and return to the roots of what you love about artwork, and that means doing it for yourself. I know I look forward to seeing what you come up with and how you develop your skills even further.

As for the icons, I look forward to seeing them, but there's no problem with the wait. As I've said, the reason for the commissions was to help you out when you needed the money, and not just to get some artwork done.
