excuse me while i scream joyously and puke out praise forever because

DUDE. THIS. ART.

I know I've like, flailed and gushed to you in email, after each piece you sent me, but I'm in love with the art you made for me. I legit am giddy over how lucky I am. Seeing these things come to life, straight outta my fic, is AWESOME. You're so talented!! <3 (No joke, anyone IRL who knows I fic? Ya, I've been shoving this art in their faces, yelling about how pretty it is. Ask my mom.)

But seriously. For starters, the dawn scene with Tony and Dommal has been in my head from the very start of this fic and to see it rendered and colored so beautifully !!!!!

:D :D :D

Wow, I still am kind of amazed by your unbridled reactions. I think I may have mentioned it before, but I kind of am over my art in a day or two once I finish. So it's like, wOOOooah, someone else is that into it???? I don't get it, but I'm super happy that you're so happy!
\(;_;)/ I'm glad I can make art for others that will impact them so much! Thanks for giving me that!

[red_b_rackham]

Haha, I think being over it in like a day after finishing is a very typical Creative Person reaction to anything you create. That happens a lot to me with writing - I can kind of swing between "actually this is pretty good" to "this is the worst thing ever". XD

You're welcome but thank youuu for sharing your incredible talent!! \o/

YAY!! another entry completed!! I'm so happy for you! Your art for the stories you enjoyed are gorgeous and you worked with people who appreciated your dedication! Hurray for productivity and being inspired!! As always your illustrations are stunnnnning *-* <3

I love the cliff landscape! The colors are serene and bright! Love the horses in the forest! The ink work is beautiful as to be expected from awesome youuuu! I love Natasha and Tony (is that Tony? Ahaha I guessed it was from the facial hair XD) they look so pensive and slightly worried. Ughhhh I love it ALLLLL!!

Gotta read this story too!

[dulcetine]

Thaanks! That actually isn't Tony with Natasha, it's an original character whose looks are supposed to be based off the Tron actor! I was going to try to draw Tony for illustration #4 but that's when the food poisoning hit. ;_;

Wow thanks! I didn't think it would resemble woodblock prints, I'm super flattered that you think so! Japanese aesthetic is really gorgeous but also so difficult in its simplicity. I saw some modern ukiyo-e prints at an antique show this year.... utterly amazing. (Too bad they were too amazing for my wallet! Lol)

I was actually referencing the Russian fairytale illustrator Ivan Biliban (not that my art resembles his in any way...) at the time. I really love his artwork! Along with Alphonse Mucha, Arthur Rackham, etc.

redplasticglass helped rescue the colored pic with some Photoshop as well, otherwise it would have looked like unicorn candy land instead of a sunrise.

Ohh, i looked up yoshida toushi and his art is gorgeous!! I feel like i should know more ukiyo-e artists but I'm not at home right now so i can't check my files. I did a Google search to see if any of the awesome prints i saw at the antique show were there, and unfortunately i mostly got porn prints. =(

Ikenaga yasunari stands out to me though. Most of his work are paintings, but apparently he recently did ukiyo-e in his style. His work feels like a stylish and sensitive merging of both modern and old school!

So you have any other artists that you like?
