Welp, I guess I have once again successfully aged today. Darn it I'm getting old... where's my cane...
Anyhow, due to the ongoing virus and some other... factors, my last weeks have been rather stressful to be honest with you. I found myself overthinking alot, growing further and further unsure about myself, my art, my job, people close to me and so on. I try to not let these things get the best of me and am so far still doing quite okay and alright. I try to follow the motto, as we'd say over here: Augen zu und durch. Keep it together.
I'm aware that I'm by far not the only one that is currently experiencing difficult times throughout this pandemic and that I'm still one of the lucky people, taking into account that I'm not part of the group of people that are at risk. So everyone, for the sake of those and yourselves, please stay safe, stay inside and wash your hands, I'm positive that we can get through this together.
To try to make today at least a little better, a little bit different from all these other days most of us had to spend in quarantine, I've decided that I'll sketch a few fanart surprises. I can't promise that I'll be able to draw for everyone, but I'll try my best, seeing how many are upset that due to their cut wage or missing jobs they can't commission anything right now. So if you're alright with recieving fanart or know someone close/important to you, that is currently having a very hard time, just let me know or drop me a link to your character(s).
Otherwise: Have an awesome day and please stay healthy.
Sincerely: Kronoluna π

Even if you can't do Big Parties and the likes.
Have an awesome Day, treat yourself with some nice Cake!
I actually had a quite nice day and yes, cake definitly played a part in it X'D
Be strong! I'm sure you can indeed keep it together! Glad to hear you're alright though!
Also, that's very sweet of you to do, the sketches I mean. I won't link anything myself as I'm sure there's others out there that could use it more. I'm sure you'll make a few people smile with this gesture.
Have an awesome day yourself, and stay safe too! That goes for everyone. β₯οΈ
Surprisingly today was quite great and no worries, will do!
That is very nice of you, so nice in fact, that I can't promise that my hand won't slip once I have some time on my hand ^-^
Thank you very much again, your kind words and everyone elses most definitly made my day alot better β₯οΈ
Also, noooo... Don't you dare. :3 I will probably commission something from you anyways if the future allows it!
Thank you though.
Grmpf... oki, I'll try to, though I can't promise anything! And aawwww I'm flattered to hear that, thank you so much >////< If that ever should be the case, I'm most definitly looking forward to working with your awesome character! π
Honestly? I just had another look at your gallery and can't choose a favourite, all your characters look darn amazing π If I HAD to choose though, I'd probably pick your red boy because I'm in love with how well that dark shade of red and white looks on him~ X3
Good choice! I love him so much! Glad you like him as well.
β₯οΈ
I really do and couldn't agree more! 030 I can't help it, I have a soft spot for awesome dragon designs, that's one of the main reasons why I'm here ^////^
Stay healthy and may your wishes are Successful!
Wie du sagtest: Augen zu und durch x)
Wobei es vielleicht auch gerade jetzt wichtig ist, die Augen offen zu halten ;)
But thank you so much for doing this ! It's a great thing to see
It's just my attempt at bringing a bit of joy back into everyone's days, kinda my way to thank you and others for your support aswell ;3;/
Genau, leider ist es ja auch die einzige Option, die irgendwie bleibt ><
Da hast du wiederum recht, man sollte eher aufeinander aufpassen, umsichtig sein ^-^
Have a nice day and do something for yourself. After all, it is your day O.o
Nooooo I gotta do something for others!
Many have been impacted in so many different ways as a result of covid. Iβve been hit (not with the bug, thankfully, but by repercussions of the evolving situation)... but I have a roof over my head, food, and family. Iβm safe and healthy, which is the important thing... as I hope you are, and continue to be.
I am a great admirer of your work, and will leave a link to my Scraps which has reference material. I would love to see Nimbus done by you, but there are probably much more deserving folks. I can still commission to some extent... others canβt and this is a wonderful thing youβre doing for them!

I'm very relieved to hear that you're safe and healthy, it really is the most important thing right now, considering the circumstances... I am still rather lucky myself, just like you I have a roof over my head, food and all the people close to me are alright. I have to admit that I'm not sure wether I'll still have a job after this pandemic is over or not, but know nothing for sure yet.
And thank you very much, I'm honoured to hear that! >////< also thank you for the link, I'll most definitly have a look and keep it in mind, I hope I can get back to it very soon, pencil in hand π
I'll say this about your art... and I'm not sucking up to try and snag a free sketch. There is really something special, to me, about traditional art methods. I had some commissioned work done 10 years ago in this way, and there is a certain feel to it that is lost going digital. Don't get me wrong, I've seen some fantastic digital work... but traditional holds a special place in my heart, as do those pieces from long ago. It's almost as though something gets lost in translation from hand to paper... to hand to computer. I know you're working on the digital aspect - but don't lose the traditional; it's special, and you're amazing at it.
I really hope that things will turn out alright for you aswell in the end, and that there won't be a "tightening of belts"... this whole crisis definitly brought out the good in lost of people, maybe the aftermath will even have some positive effects humanity-wise, even if it's gonna screw over our economy immensly X')
Please don't worry, it doesn't look nor sound like that at all! To be honest with you, I feel the same about traditional art, I'm nothing but amazed at what some people can create with digital methods but there's just something - I think you already found the right words for it - special about traditional art that sometimes gets lost in the digital translation. That's one of the many reasons (besides me not being able to handle most shortcuts/ways/methods that are available digitally X'D) why I think I'll stick to traditional methods as my main medium for quite a while and possibly forever ;3;
Thank you so much for your kind words, they honestly mean so much to me... πI often find myself doubting my choice to stick to drawing traditionally, since there seem to be way less people interested in it than in digital art ><
Glad to see traditional art continue and flourish. To me, its almost akin to reading a physical book compared to an e-book. All the same words, but there's something about holding it in your hands and turning pages. Same with traditional art; knowing its pencil, pen or brush strokes directly from the artist's hand... no erase / correct or fill tools... it just has more meaning. Stick to your guns and don't doubt your choice of medium... perhaps there are fewer that appreciate traditional methods, but there's a beauty in it that will never be captured by a computer.
The comparison with a real book and an e-book actually works rather well I believe! I also feel like with every drawing that is made traditionally there's a certian commitment to it that the artist has to make. No turning back once a line is drawn, no corrections in the general proportions after the drawing is finished, no adding another layer ontop to create the right shades from the second lightsource, no saving inbetween or creating a file one could go back to and start all over.
Thank you very much again for your kind words, I'll think about them once I start doubting my choices about traditional art again. People like you make me wanna continue to create, thank you for that and stay awesome! π
Also, this is so very very sweet of you to do. I myself work hard these times because I'm a nurse xD and thankfully my closest ones still hold onto their jobs, for now. I hope you can really brighten someones day tho~
Oh really, you're a nurse? I can't imagine how stressful things must be at your work right now, vielen vielen Dank fΓΌr deinen Einsatz, es ist unglaublich, was dort gerade geleistet wird und leider ja auch geleistet werden muss... I hope things continue to stay well for you and your close ones! π
I'm sorry that you've been feeling stressed out, but I hope your birthday will be one free of worries and doubts. You are a great person and do good things, there's no question about it. ^_^
It's also incredibly kind of you to offer to draw for others in these times, just make sure to take care of yourself as well! π
I will be alright, I mean things won't be this way forever... I mean.... hopefully anyway ;3;
Thank you very much for your kind words aswell, they by themselves honestly made my day a whole lot better >////< and I'll try ;3;/
Have a wonderful day and stay safe!
I wish you and everyone else the absolute best!
