Hugs and love. I can relate to everything you have said here. Sometimes you feel left out because you can't "chat" every day. And pain... well, let's just say that I'm no stranger.
I'm glad to see that you are going to be posting again, and if I can come up with some funds, I'll hit you up for a commish. BIG BIG HUGS!!! Nice to see you on again!

~Eeep

Thank you so muhc for this comment =3=
Means a lot to be missed! FA is such a great site with SO many talented artists, so it's really nice to be remembered *cuddles* =3=

I'd love commissions! I love working not just for the money, but also becasue I cna't maintain a 'regular' job... =S so it feels good to be able to work in a diffrent way form my home =3

Great to see you back! ^_^

As always, sorry to hear of your health struggles. I've been having problems off and on for years now. Art and creative work is probably the one big thing that keeps me sane and focused. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have this kind of outlet.

Its IS frustrating to only get a trickle of responses back when you put in so much more. It was like that for years for me as well--I guess its something every new and struggling artist and poster goes through. heck, I still struggle for it sometimes. Its just something that builds slowly, I guess.

Anyway, its also great to see your art growing so well! = ) As I think I've said before, all you really need is practice; you seem to have a natural talent that shines through and your own distinctive style. You have a great sense of color and composition for your characters--they almost always look so vibrant. And you also seem to have an instinctive grasp of how cloth folds and hangs--something that took me years to mentally wrap my overworked brain around.

I do hope I see you on more...and I do hope you keep drawing. I can see you improving,a nd if you keep at it, I think you can go to some wonderful places with what you create.

((Also, are you on deviantart? They have a lot of groups and support for novice and struggling artists. If you don't, you should think of putting your work on there--not just your drawings, but your dolls and such too. ^^ ))

Thanks! It's been a really good return! I hads alot of art to post.. ehehehe

My health problems really get to me =( I can't hold down a job, and I don't live in the best conditions... it's why I cherish every chance to do a commission. Working is good for my spirit, drawing just for myself is not quite as motivating....

I do feel thougththat my art is improving. I'm really proud of my ability to colour, I enjoying doing colour best of all! And little tiny details~ I miss using programs that blend colours more nicely... Im still on the hunt for a program that can do that AND be pressuresensitive on my laptop @___@ (the tablet screen is not by wacom, so many programs arn't pressure sensitive.... it sucks!!)

I will keep drawing on a semi-regular basis. I have one loyal customer thatI know irl who buys a little bit on every paycheck.. so att he very very least you'll see the fruits fo that labour~

on the note of DA : I do have a dev art, btu I dont' liek how corperate eh siteis... and the comunity is not as nice and welcoming... plus, I draw pornography so much more then clean art... so I dont' have much to post there these days....

I very much empathize with both the financial and health difficulties. After a lifetime of walking everywhere, my feet have gotten screwed up with arthritis and metatarsalgia (stress injuries in the balls of the feet.) I can't really walk the way I used to, and the jobs I used to do where I could stay on my feet all day aren't open to me anymore. I've been trying to get by on freelance work but as you know, its very hard and takes up a lot of time.

As for DeviantArt, its not what it used to be. I was also kind of stand-offish about it, but its changed in the past year or two. I've enjoyed getting back into it and now submit to there jsut as much as I do to FA. The site is more or less dominated by groups you can join now, and there's groups for everything, and the people I've talked to and gotten comments from are very friendly. And from what I've seen a number of groups are very supportive of beginner and struggling artists. I just think someone like you who's looking for feedback and support would really benefit from that kind atmosphere.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing more of your art when its ready. ^_^ I'm always pulling for you!

Hhmmm I iddn't know FA had turned around...
I think I'll give it an other go! I dont' ahve nearly as muhc art I cna post there, btu I have a LOT of photography stuff I can psot to padd my gallery... (been doing a lot of pet portraits and human portraits aswell as doll photography..)

I'm sorry to hear you have health troubles too ;;o;; it's so hard psycologically to feel like you can't support yourself... Really kills my self esteem... at least that's how I feel..... =S
I ahve a few ideas for diffrent types of commissions and things sooooooo I hope it'll be fruitful =S

As always, I apre ciate your support <3<3

Sank yew~~~ =3=
souold be fun to do a collab or something~
