I wanted to send a shout out to some notable people
9 years ago
I don't know how to start a journal like this, however I'll do my best.
I know whenever I submit a piece of artwork, commissioned or gifted, I tend to give a quick blurb to the artist which to sum it up is usually boiled down to, "EL OH EL! THEY'RE AWESOME!" I know I can do better and this is a chance to give these people the recognition I feel they deserve.
FIRST UP!
qwertycat . -- This gentleman just finished up an amazing piece for me. Using digital mediums he is able to create realistic portraits with amazing details and accuracy. He is also able to capture emotion in an amazing manner as well. I don't know how he does it, but I can safely say I look very much forward to his work in the future.
theredbandit . -- Yve as she is known is a friend of mine hailing in from New Hampshire. She is a lovely badger that can light up a room with her wit and humor - safe to say I adore her. She is also one of the most talented individuals I know. Her crafting and artistic abilities border on Martha Stewart whether it be watercolors, sketches, and yes, freaking plushies. She even makes costumes and puppets... you name it I know she can do it.
nightlinez . -- I have met Linez a few times during various NH furmeets and she is as lovely as the artwork she creates. The best way to describe her style is whimsical, charming, and sometimes downright adorable. Her work is also original and uniquely hers. I love perusing her galleries especially if I've had a bad day - her work has an amazing ability to make one feel a wee bit better if they surely need it.
Last but certainly not least,
ludwig.goff -- A gentleman I am proud to call my friend and have in my life. Though I have not had any work done personally by him, I still felt the need to give him a shout out. (That and lets face it, stoats and other mustelids never get the recognition they deserve, as I have discovered). Having seen his sketches and traditional works I usually would pour over them looking at the intricacies and details put into them, and one can easily get lost within the worlds he puts to paper. However, it isn't just visual. His short stories are is if he has painted with words - always enjoyable and again, easy to get lost in the worlds he has created with his descriptiveness and originality.
This isn't to say there are other great individuals within the fandom, however these are individuals I wanted to give a shout out to - for now. - YAOI
