This is by far one of my favorites, not because of the effort alone, but because I have done more as an artist with this piece than any others. This image of Miran has already seen 3 campus gallery shows and been met with high praise. People and fellow art students were constantly asking if I did a speed paint video much like my Raptor Squad picture and sadly...I did not.

Over all....thanks to amazing friends both in real life and here online, I have been able to push myself to levels I never thought I'd be able to accomplish. I am able to understand artistic process and styles in ways I never dreamed I could. I'm able to look at the art of people I thoroughly enjoy and finally say "OH! They did this here and here, I should try that here and there."

With amazing friends, wonderful family, and an incredible muse like Miran who has given me nothing but constant ideas to work on...I'm actually happy with myself as an artist. Frankly I cant tell myself I suck anymore.
