Thank you very much.

No words to describe it....

I have to say, you've got skill if you did this on Nintendo DS.

I have to give credit to the art lesson program, it taught me how to do it but at the same time, thank you for the compliment! I am glad you liked it.

What program on the DS is this?

It's Art Academy: First Semester. It's the last lesson on it. It was definately worth the money for the program. I finished both the First and Second Semester. If you have a DSi, I definately recomend getting it.

Hooray! I do! Is it DSiware or an actual game?

It's DSi Ware, the two programs are 8 dollars a piece so it's 16 dollars for the two. I felt it was a great deal since actual art lessons with a teacher would have costed more. The first one has I think 4 tutorial levels for true beginners and 4 lesson levels. After every lesson, you unlock a bonus that uses the same techniques you just learned but in a slightly harder image.

Okay! Thanks for the info! I'm sooo getting it now

Whoa, really? For a second I thought this was a canvased picture, lol. Very nicely done Xan, especially on a DS too.

Hehe! I know, I love the art program I used for it. It also saves on the price buying canvases to practice on. I am going to redo this on canvas so I have a hard copy of it. Thanks for the compliment!

Hehe, that's awesome Xan! And, you're more than welcome! Congrats on the art program though, I'm sure it's proved very useful, and helpful for what it's worth!

**hugs** Again, thank you for everything; your friendship, your support, and helping me through that rough patch. You may not have thought it was much but it put food on the table for us when I thought for sure I would do with out. From the depths of my heart and soul, thank you.

*hugs you back tightly* Well, hey it's no problem, really Xan. Honestly, you deserve more than you think.. And, I just get really torn when others don't have what others have, or they're poor, and they can't find "X" or "Y". I'll do my best to help out, even if it means just a little bit. But, honestly you and your family deserve to be happy, and have a good Holiday. Despite the fact mine is pretty much crap this year and nothing but more drama and etc. like last few years, but it's okay. I'm glad that I could help you guys out. You're Family Xan, remember that, and you're a damn good friend of mine, even if we don't talk that much.

My depression from life is sorta running me back and forth through a loop, so I'm up and down all the time. But, I'm trying to manage through it all. Though, I hope your Christmas, and New years go well for you and your family. I hope your holiday is filled with happiness and joy. I love you, and you truly deserve it more than you think. *hugs you ever so tightly, and gives your cheek a kiss* I'd give you more if I could, and I'd want you guys to live like a normal family would, and without debts, and worrying about spending so much money on groceries and bills and etc.

That is quite beautiful.

Thank you very much, it means a lot.

beautiful. I love water. amazing what can be done on a DS. there is something in some of the angles that doesn't look quite perfect...I only notice cause you mention it...but it has a really good motion to it...so perfection doesn't matter. beautiful water.
