I can see the motivation and commitment, dear ;3 Whether it's because of the new equipment or the new year, I'll bet on 2 at once >.< With the first one, I can definitely confirm here o.O scenery straight out of a sky show! Stars, rays of sun cast giving Mordecai his radiant, and clouds creating a smoke base, I think the work shows more than one theme ^^

As with Willow, I have the same admiration for Mordecai's appearance. You went all out with your imagination in it ;3 He's so.. different. Such.. unimaginable, unexpected. The one you thought you wouldn't meet ;* I can draw inspiration from him exactly as from your perseverance and willingness to pursue goals, dreams, to overcome obstacles that separate them from you. I have no words to re-describe what I see step by step analyzing your enviable career sweetie <3
