keep doing your thing m8

Oh, thanks so much! ^___^

very nicely done!
can't wait to see how you improve over the next couple years XD

Aww, thank you!! I certainly hope that I don't disappoint

You're very welcome, and...
I'm sure you won't XP

*huggles and snuggles*

*gives you a kiss on the nose*

You've come a long way in a very short time :)

Thank you, Honey!

Great improvements. What surprised me though was the fact that the first drawing of her was on my birthday. O.O

Aww, that's how I know she's got to be a special character! *hugs* Thank you, darlin' and thanks for the added gift of knowing that her birthday is the same as yours!

*hugs back and blushes* You're welcome on both accounts.^^

That is amazingly gorgeous art, Kitt. I can't wait to get a pic done of my character when you're available next.

*blushes* Thank you! It's interesting (if not a little embarrassing) digging into old work and revisiting older characters. And I'd be delighted to do a pic for you.

Wow, what an improvement :D You can still tell it's you, your style is so your-own, but the one on the right is a definite improvement ^_^ Though I like the older one, too. It's cute!!!

Aww, thanks, Sonny! ^_^ I'm glad to be doing a little work on these characters, again.

*snerk*

It lasted over three Sailor Moon episodes... now that's just too funny! Hee hee! But yeh, I really have to say, it's lovely to see the difference between your character as drawn two years ago, and now! You have certainly improved a whole lot, while still retaining your original, lovely style! Well done!

Hee hee, it's be fun to see you do these kinds of things for like your Alley cats and Sweet Shoppe characters as well sometime in 2012

LOL! Yes, Sailor Moon! I loved that show since I was a kid

Anyhoo, thank you! ^_^ I do need to revisit the Alley Cat Blues characters. I have an entire story written out and am ready to work on it, but, it'll have to wait, I think Hybrid and Sweet Shoppe are demanding time, at the moment. But, I still intend to do promotional art (bookmarks, keychains, etc.) for them

Hee hee! Well, nothing wrong with that, I can certainly understand! I really liked the first few seasons as well, although of course I was mostly interested in the cute kitties! (although Luna did kind of sound like 'that old lady down the road' in the English-spoken version )

*hugs*

But you're very welcome! Hee hee, and it really sounds like you have a whole lot of fantastic ideas and stories to work with! I can definitely understand that you would have to keep some of them on a backburner for a bit, though; after all there's priorities, and you should do the most work on those of your projects that are getting the most attention and selling the best! Although I have no doubt that all of your projects would sell like mad; I for one would definitely want to have all of those wonderful illustrated stories and comics of your cute characters!

Aww, thanks! ^_^ I'm trying to get some of the backburner stories moved up, particularly Eyes in the Dark, my story about the wolves. I've been working on that for almost a decade and a half! I really want to push them forward so that they can have at least a chance to shine

Wow! That's quite a bit of time you have worked on that story already! It must be so greatly developed by now! Hee hee, I guess that once the hubbub around the Sweet Shoppe dies down a little and you get some more breathing room again, you might want to grab yourself bythe scruff of the neck and sit yourself down and say "okay, no matter what, but now I am going to give my wolfies the time they deserve!"

Er...something like that! ^^;

*giggles*

Yes, it works for me... well, sometimes, anyway. But my mind often just seems to have... well, a mind of its own!

Both have their good points. I like the "Now" pic's more attention to details but there's just something likeable about "Then" Leila's expression.

*chuckles* Thanks! When I drew her at that time, I was thinking that she was going to be an angry gal. Now...I still think she's a tomboy and a bit aggressive, but with her mother's underlying beauty

Well played, Miss Mouri.

It's amazing how far you came, she looks better!

Thank you, Sweetie! *hugs* I gotta work and train as much as can, otherwise, I won't grow.

Yeah when u Buckle down an Work on Stuff u alwayz Improve....

Very true. But, you also have to put your heart into it. If you're not passionate about a thing, it will improve, but only so much.

Looks nice, sweetie. Always fun to see these comparisons :)

mmm yeah, ignoring the obvious difference in line quality, it seems you got better control of the structure of the face and muzzle. That's always a struggle for me

(btw... only ONE hour...? that would take me a LOT longer )

Oh, btw... now that the pressure is off with the Sweetshoppe out the door, think you might host a ustream again sometime? ...

*falls over* Thanks! Yeah, I did not have the hang of that tablet at the time! I needed to work a little more to figure things out with it. I think I have improved, though. Sweetheart, Candy and Plum's pinups were all drawn entirely with the tablet. ...and yeah, it only took about an hour from start to finish. I can typically draw my own characters a lot faster because I know how I want them to look. With others' characters, I have to refer back to references and try to draw the pic in the way that I think THEY would want to see their character realized. ...so, that takes a little longer

...you know, I was just thinking about UStream the other day! I realized that I haven't done it in AGES!! I have to check to see if I managed to save the program for it before my computer crashed last year. I'm pretty sure that I did, but I'll have to check. If I don't make it to the wedding this weekend (which I may not be able to) then maybe I'll see about doing it then

*rushes forward* Oh, Sweetie, don't fall again!! *fans you with my Cherry hand fan*

Ooh, I hope I can attend this weekend, but I got some stuff to do. I may be able to make it on Sunday, but I'm not sure about that either. ^_^; But anyway, you shouldn't plan it around my schedule, but I'll be there if i can!!!!

And I hope you'll make it to the Wedding... That's a little more important than a ustream! ^.^

*crawls in* Honestly, I just got back from work. I was supposed to leave at 6pm, but since a co-worker is out with a busted hand, I stayed a little later to help the co-worker who was at work today. She was all alone and there was a huge line...that never ended! I was supposed to get my hair done tonight, but by the time I got out, it was already after 8pm.

Ah well, it was tough planning, anyway. I was supposed to stay with some people, but they backed out, understandably so...which left me with no place to stay. I was going to try and find a cheap hotel, but to no avail. Not on such short notice

So, I probably won't be able to go, anyway. I'll have to send her a nice gift instead.

mmm That's too bad. :( Is one of the couple a close friend, or family?

She was my friend since kindergarten, but when I moved to NY, we lost touch. It's alright, though. I managed to find a midnight bus that'll get me there tomorrow morning, so I'll be able to make it after all

I have to say, she's really cute!

Aww, thanks, Sweetie! I've got a little playing around to do with her and the others, but with time, they'll come along

think you can make her hair longer? If so, I just found a mate!!! *Squeees!*

LOL! She's too much a tomboy to grow her hair out. Unlike Candy (who's a tomboy with ridiculously long hair because her father likes it that way), Leilani has no one influencing her to cater to her more feminine side

then ill cater to her feminine side. I still have the handy man right?

Oh and i have a friend who owns a small plane. I could use it to tow a banner about you guys restaurant *grins* And my only charge is to be the Handy Man.....and go on a date with one of you. *grins again, all hopeful*

Hmm? Oh no, Leilani isn't among the Sweet Shoppe girls. She's from a different series, "Lion Paws".

*blinks then looks dejected* oh....well.....hhmm....
