I love the application of your style here! Hummingbirds are always a challenge to depict on paper (trust me, I know!) but you've done it brilliantly. Love those wings!

you know i knoe the purpose was like animals that arent well known heh xD but this series idea is so awesome, you should apply it to dif themes. xD just a thought tho each one has his/her own needs as an artists, and i know series require a lot from oneself, but honestly this things are so perfect for decoration!!!

a friend of mine has already suggested an A to Z of cryptozoology, a subject we're both interested in... so that's very tempting.
It's a 'maybe' at the minute.

Oh that could be
I think your works in sets like these can be really popular for interior decor
Have to start going a bit around blogs like decor8 that suggest shoppers what to buy, and people reads those tonz
i think you have really a not just cool but very unique style

That's funny, the majority of the time, I feel like what I do is kinda pedestrian and forgettable. Like, on dA, I'm always really envious of how exciting and unique people like *krecha and :flaviafou: are.
...who knows

I'm not sure if I'm fit for another 26 paintings that need that much research just yet. ..eventually it'll just keep popping into my head and I'll have to it

Oh nonono! I don't think so. I mean I love krecha and many other great illlustrators here on da. But your style in particular has a thing to it, with the palette you use and all that makes it really commerciable, at least in my point of view (I am not a business expert eh ) Anyway, I know there's lots of young parents out there looking fot stylish room decor for their kids at a affordable price, and I know really your style would fit perfect I am still deciding with my bf which ones to pick for our nephews hih
I think honestly if you give that angle, you could sell sets of prints in your etsy shop, and could start promoting that shop like that xD I'll try to pass the link to the ones I know hih but really And if you really wanna sell prints on your own, I can help you set up a little e-shop site connected to paypal (where people could buy directly from you and send the money via paypal) But I dont know, then you need to be in charge of the printing and I am not sure what you think about that hihihi

Ooh! I don't think I'm ready to take that on, at the minute (getting things printed myself and then selling them) but it's not a bad idea. Everybody on Etsy seems to be selling prints rather than originals.
Well thanks a million for offering to help, though that's great. Right now, though, I'm just gonna keep going and keep trying new things. My dA prints account is ticking along nicely and that's all I need at the minute to keep people in subscriptions and wishlist prints
