Thank you!
Hair, especially the long, flowy, windy kind, used to give me a lot of trouble. Strangely, I wound up with a lot of projects that needed it around that time, so I finally got comfortable with it... and unsurprisingly, now I find it to be a whole lot of fun to draw and color.

Thanks very much. A lot of the credit has to go to Mistress-of-Air - she designs WONDERFUL creatures.

Oooh, kick ass critter! I like what you did with the wings and the little noodlie bits on them. And the blue ... coral like things... definitely neato!

Thanks!
It was a matter of "oh nuts! What can I fill the background with this time? I've done lots of circles lately and need something different - OH! WORMY WAVES!" Just like that!

You finished it!!! I was wondering what hapened with it. I love the way its tail floats on the air, as always your colouring is impecable.

Thanks very much!
Yes, finally, finally finished. The art trade projects sometimes wait for several weeks before I can color them. I do not like to work on such projects when I'm not feeling inspired to do my very best. I also have to get those pesky commissions out of the way first...

I think you are the first person whom I have heard to refer to commissions as pesky. But they are. Which reminds me on the one I'm so diligent procrastinating with.

They are only pesky until I need to buy new colored pencils. You know how that goes... I'd much rather be goofing off with my monsters from outer space on some days!

Yeah I sure do ....I try to always have paints in abundance because I tend to spend tubes very fast...they disappear like magic!
But my problem is my commissioner is a very impatient man.
