Description
ThunderstormBuilding in tempo
Cymbals crash in crescendo
Quiet then applause
Dark sky dropping low
Garish light flashing within
Rumble dies away
Black bodies of cloud
Pierced by swords of purest light
Bellowing their strength
~Haiku by an unknown author.
I really let loose and belted my freaky colors out there! And I loved it!
Here, the god of lightning (the dragon) and the god of thunder (the wolf) are locked in their never-ending combat in the clouds. It is said that claps of thunder and bolts of lighting are the result of these two gods battling it out in the sky. This little mytho is my own concept, just for fun.

IMMA KEEP WORKIN' HARD!
awwwww SHMOW I wanna do trades, but I basically DON'T do them anymore, because my commish list is usually filled, so I always feel guilty stopping to do trades, even when I do have enough time. But I DO wanna draw your platypus sometime, he's so cute oh gosh.

Everyone has been saying that, and I gotta agree! I enjoy personal work even more than commissions, so it would be nice to ficus more on myself.

THE TEXTURE. THE COLOR. It is so beautiful! Your artwork always blows me away!
It's so stunning and colorful and dramatic! The texture is perfect!
One day you must make a tutorial on how you draw with pencil but color digitally. I've been sketching traditionally a lot, but I don't know how to color them.
I promise, I will commission you! Just wait a few years when I get out of the house and my parents won't question why I'm giving money to strangers for art lol.
MAGNIFICENT AS ALWAYS. ♥

Hey you gave the same reply to other people
But it's all good because I never have any idea what to say to people unless they ask a question or something.

LOL yes I'm guilty of reusing comments for the short comments I get; it just gets exhausting replying individually, and I hate to just ignore even short comments.

Yeah, I feel bad when it's a compliment and I don't say anything.

....oh, my God. I just died from awesome....
You should really do personal art more often. IMHO your personal art is more expressive than commissions.

BAAAAH THANK YOU.
I usually feel pretty connected and motivated with commissions, but with personal art, I'm able to turn that into raw creative energy, because I don't have a client to please!

It's good to get away from commissions every now and then, Kate.

Ooh, I love the concept and your execution of
it; its both a little disturbing and fantastically
interesting. I love the stylized feel; reminds
me of Japanese traditional art styles a little.. In any
case, well done! C:
