i think he means +5 internet points to you, and to avoid posting twice, he said "awesome work + fave" to bubble wolf in the same post

...still don;t understand.

What galaxy might this be then? :-]

We're in the milky way.

Perhaps I should have asked..which race do you mean? Unless Oban means Earth or something, then I guess that would make sense!

Oban is another planet, home to the Avatar who is in charge of one of the galaxy's biggest Star Races. The grand prize: a wish without limitations, from riches to power, even to bring back a loved one from the dead.

You should have a "Tip" option. This is gorgeous!

Your complement is all I need :-]!

Superb as always :)

It's great to see you still enjoying my work :D..as always!

I was gonna ask, also, How large do you draw normaly? It seem it would have to be pretty large with all the detail you put in to it.

Most of them are A4 with a few on A3 including this one. The plan is to do everything on A3 in the future!

Is a4 your typical 8.5x11 inch?

Yep, so then A3 is double that :-]

dear flippin jezuz i love your work its so beautiful!!

Your work always makes me want to frame it and hang it on my wall, haha.

Also, Your felines seem to have a tendency to always be drinking something, it works for them though. Just something i noticed. ^^

One more thing (and possibly an annoying question on my part), do you have something in store for shark week? o-o I don't think I've ever seen a shark from you.

It's true, everyone's always drinking! Fortunately there won't be anymore for a while in my upcoming work ;p!

I haven't heard of shark week but a quick Google tells me it's something the Discovery channel runs, is that the right one? I don't think I'll get anything done in time for it this time but I'll totally get some sharks in my gallery at some point!

No more drinking in your newest work? Aww, now Mystery and intrigue abound!

And yeah it's a long running thing they do every year dedicated to sharks. It's not a required draw or anything though haha, I was just trying to give an excuse to see sharks done in your styling. Shame on me i know xD.

Hope you and Faelourn are doing well!

always love your textures and detailing.

Fancy some company, girls?

Absolutely beautiful piece! I've loved your work since the moment I saw it, it's so rare to find people who do finished pencil pieces. Do you adjust the darkness digitally or is it just achieved with darker pencils?

I'm glad you like!
The originals are quite dark but never as dark as the digital version. They always seem to need that extra boost when up on the screen, whereas the original versions don't seem to!

And yes, there is a distinct lack of peeps working in pencils these days. It'd be great to see more!

Lovely!
Your art is so real!

Oh goodness! A Siamese cat <3 ouo They're so lovely; it's great seeing one from you. X3 Love the giant single earring she has. :3 That partnered with her drinking reminds me of pirates for some odd reason. Random unrelated to the art note. XD

Stunning work as always. <3 I love your felines. ;o;

Cheers Ko! I'm surprised I hadn't got a Siamese in my gallery already! And it probably isn't such a surprise you relate parts to pirates, I'd love to do some all out pirate themed stuff!...So I guess I probably will :P

But yeah, there isn't a lack of felines on the horizon, probably a little too many, so it's good you like them!

Those fuckin' fur ruffs.

Gorgeous shading.
My wrists had sympathy pains at the cross hatching and detailing.

Enderby... B.C.? I'm probably way off the mark here. xD It's weird seeing the name of such a small town around the web, though!

gorgeous work, btw. Caught my eye instantly.

Whilst it's not the Enderby I was referencing, it's interesting to see a place with that name in Canada! Or at least that's what Google seems to be telling me :-].

And thank you!!

Enderby, England?

It's more the name of a property in this case, but the name itself probably did come from that!

<3

Aaasdfjkl; the attention to detail here is great! The shading on the bottle and the expressions and-- this is really neat aaaa

I don't even know what to say about this piece or anything else you do anymore Bubble. I get very emotional over art sometimes. I will love a piece because of the skill in its execution or style or because its just plain beautiful. I especially love work that evokes strong emotion. I love clicking on a piece that can instantly brings a smile to my face ....or make me cry, whether it be joy or sadness. The skill, style and beauty of your work, needless to say, is overwhelming but when it comes to the emotion part, it goes beyond the emotion or mood the piece itself conveys but seemingly the emotion that you the artist has gone after the piece with and thus giving it a life of its own. I know that probably doesn't make much sense, hmm, maybe what I'm trying to say is that it appears that you have an emotional feel for a piece while executing it and it shows.

I know my knowledge of the art world is rather narrow but i know what I like. There is only one or two other artists that I am familiar with that seem to create with emotion rather than just trying to convey it. I dearly love their work but they are mainly digital where I will forever be a traditional fan. And let's not mention that grayscale, especially graphite is what really turns my crank <3 !

And yeah, this piece did make me tear up a bit. No words to describe how I feel about this piece otherwise.

Ahh Teiirka it's great to get such an emotional response! You definitely are one of the most passionate artists around I know :-]

I do agree that when an artist has a love for working in a certain subject, it can, and hopefully does come through to those viewing it! Infact there's no 'hopefully' about it, as your own work is a perfect example of that, so I'm glad you find it in mine too.

And as far as digital and traditional go: I love digital, but traditional work just has something about it, just a feel that I probably couldn't describe if I tried. But anyway, your love for traditional definitely doesn't need to be said with your skill!!

I adore what you draw... I'd love to see what one of your originals looked like- I never really know what to say that isn't contrived or overused... If you are ever open for commissions, I'd love the opportunity to own an original of your work.

Well hopefully you'll see one some day! If and when I do open for commissions, I'll always give those who expressed interest first refusal :-]!

As far as thinking up a comment that wasn't overused, I think you just did it :D. Anyway, you could say the same thing about every one of my images and I'd appreciate it all the same so never ever worry about that!

Very lovely work! I love the sense of style within the realistic feel of the character art and shading. Another artist of whom I think would be worth commissioning for sure!

I wouldn't mind by the guy next door, if only to get an eye-full of those too.

haha :D Well it's great to hear that, I'm very glad indeed that you enjoy my work!

Is there some way I can just have FA automatically add anything you do to my +fav list?

I adore your work. So inspiring.

I love how you convey form, light and texture, it's still things i'm trying to get to grips with!

Considering your own gallery, it's awesome to hear that from you! The detail in your work is insane!

and suddenly a big African lion appears and those kitty ladies faint hehe nice work

Awesome work :)

I absolutely adore the way you convey texture in your artwork. Beautiful work! ♥

They're British lasses aren't they?

I've rarely been so amazed by a "simple" work like this!
You are really skilled!
