You're welcome, I'm really having a good time following your Shepard's adventures. And the rest of your gallery looks nice too, I need to go comment more of your stuff ^^. Anyway I like to play with the DeviantArt muro thing so enjoy Ayren Shepard singing something badass ... it's supposed to be her ... blah muro is hard XD

I had a blast going through your gallery, and there is still so much to see. I wanna learn more about Cleopatra in space, she seems very fun. I like your art so much because I can feel the fun you have while painting, and I see the love you have for all those fantastic characters. There are a lot of people out there with amazing painting technique but who create "cold" art. They are trying so hard to do something perfect but without getting emotionally involved. What you do feels natural (even if I know you must have worked very hard to sharpen your skills), it's nice and funny, cute and charming and many other things. And also, it reminded me many things about characters I love. I stopped reading Marvel and DC comic book about two years ago, because the writers were destroying all the characters and stories I cared about, and I got sick of it. You art kinda made all that bad stuff go away, and now I remember the good things. I've doodled about FireStar for two hours last night (when I should have been working on my deviations in progress T_T), it was awesome ^^
So, actually, thank you

Okay first, that GIF is hilarious, thanks for sharing XD
I'm very glad my comments had that effect. It's always great to know I've made someone happy. And ... no, everything is definitely not okay. I came on this site at first to draw for one person, because she needed it. And I know it's weird to come here to show my drawing to just one person but ... felt right at the time. When I discovered all the other artists, it was great. All this talent everywhere, is was marvellous to just get there and look for new stuff. I loved it. Then something bad in my personal life happened and I stopped coming for almost a year. Then I came back, better, wanting to stay more than ever. But then something else happened and I just could draw anymore. It's probably stupid cuz everyone kept telling me it wasn't that bad, that I should just get over it, but it crushed me more than anything ever did. It feels like I've just been running ever since. I didn't see those last two years passing. I think I was waiting for something, trying to just find a stable job, get my apartment as soon as possible and just start something. I though about coming back here, but I was feeling ... not unworthy but something similar. I wanted to wait until I got better. But now I think it doesn't work like that. I doubt I'll ever feel any better than I do right now.
Now all of that seems pretty bad, I sound emo or something and I don't want that. Some days I feel like crap. I know I wake up tired every morning, and some days I just wonder why I keep going. Fortunately I remember what keeps me going about one hour after waking up. I'm drawing it right now and I'll post it when I'm done. You're gonna think it's weird when you see it. Yes, I'm gonna post something. I'm tired of just waiting. It's gonna be rough but it's the best I can do right now. So anyway, some days I think it sucks that I have so many crap thrown at me and that I just have to deal with it. Some days it feels great, I know life is just struggling and I love it. The bad days just happen more often.
So I didn't have a problem with DA, I'm just bad at living I guess XD. But screw that, doesn't matter if I'm bad, I once felt ecstatic coming here every day and posting stuff, I want that again. So I'm gonna post things again, it doesn't matter if it's not good, I'll just have to get better with time.
You thanked me before, but you don't have to, somehow you kicked my ass into coming back here. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing, I feel this information is deeply personal, and I appreciate your trust very much. That really sounds very sad, but I don't think you are emo. I think if something is painful to you, then it is, and it's very important, even if others say it's not that bad. Still, your words troubled me There are situations that can hit so hard I probably can't even imagine, and I don't know if it is possible to recover from them, so I don't judge you or pity you, I just feel sad. But you are very brave because you keep going anyway, and now you keep doing what you love, you draw.
I think DA can be both big inspiration and big pain, sometimes you struggle because you're inspired by other artists, and sometimes you want to get into the paper bag and hide forever because of how lame you feel your works are. If you don't mind my opinion, I think you should go your own pace and post if it brings you joy There are many professionals here, but also many people who are self taught and learning and willing to cheer each other up and offer support. If you want to post rough, then do it. If don't want to shade, screw shading. If you don't want to make perfect anatomy, that's fine too. It's all about the mood and feelings. Art is firstly about how you feel, that's my opinion And after I let myself be free I usually want to learn something Because I want to, not because someone is pressing on me. It's all about what you want. And I'm very happy if I helped you coming back.
I once left DA too, mostly because this place scared me a lot, and I couldn't bear posting my OCs, couldn't bear the amount of pictures, all the drama happening here sometimes. I ran away, but I came back and I don't regret. I had support of my two DA friends who were always by my side, their support helped me a lot to gain confidence and strength to stay. So I hope you'll have some good times here now, and I'll try to support you however I can

Oui alors tu n'as pas rêvé, je suis à la fac en licence LEA anglais/japonais (yay a moi les manga en raw XD ) et donc tu as pu me croiser là bas. Je vais sans doute avoir l'air stupide mais ... t'es à cette fac aussi ? Damned, que de temps perdu si c'est le cas!
Et quel terrible tragédie pourrait bien forcer ton si jolie minois à s'enfoncer dans ces cavernes au parfum nauséabond qui côtoient chaque jour bitume, chewing-gum et je ne sais quelles déjections canine au étudiante ? Alors qu'il fait un temps superbe !
Ah au fait, si tu crois apercevoir ma sœur aussi, ce ne sera pas forcément du à un abus de je ne sais quelle substance prohibée, il se pourrait bien qu'elle soit là en chair et en os étant donné qu'elle étudie des cerveaux malades près de la Victoire. Sinon le reste de la famille va bien, papa et grand frère travaillent, maman bricole, je dessine quand j'ai le temps ... faut que je vérifie si vous avez sortit un nouveau fanzine tant que j'y suis ... au fait, je devrait faire la Japan expo l'an prochain, histoire de me la péter avec mon niveau débutant en japonais. Tu y sera aussi?

Oh, en LEA ? Mais depuis quand ? Tu t'es réorienté ?
(Ha ha ha, oui, je suis en troisième année d'Arts-Plastoqueuh donc je survis près de l'effrayant Maison des Arts, un lieu si délicat, au charme suranné, n'est-ce-pas).
Pour le temps, je ne crois pas que l'on vive sur la même planète ; et pour la Japan... C'est à voir si l'on ré-itère l'expérience, en fonction de la motivation, des sous-sous, et de l'équipage disponible aussi !
Bon courage pour le chaponais alors, à ce qu'on me dit, c'est assez quémandeur de régularité dans l'apprentissage

Me suis réorienté oui ... l'informatique comme hobi j'aime ça, mais après quelques essais infructueux j'ai du me rendre à l'évidence. Je ne supporte pas de devoir passer plus de temps à expliquer ce que je fais à des gens qui ne veulent pas comprendre qu'a programmer vraiment. J'y reviendrait peut-être plus tard, en attendant je vais passer cette licence pour pouvoir bosser un peu où je veux ^^
Et vi il fait pas bô, je sais. J'ai fuit jusqu'à Bayonne pour retrouver le même temps T_T. 'Fin bref, faudrait qu'on arrive à ce croiser de temps en temps à la fac, que tu me terrifie avec le récit de tes aventures à l'école des crayonneurs ^^ Je suis hyper dispo les mardi et jeudi.

"A des gens qui ne veulent pas comprendre qu'a programmer vraiment" : tu veux dire que les gens ne suivaient pas derrière, niveau compétences et motivations ?
C'est une bonne idée cette licence, et puis même, c'est toujours agréable et utile de se remplir la panse de tête, donc j'espère que tu t'en sortiras !
Et carrément, tentons de se croiser dans les méandres labyrinthiques de ces vieilles coquilles de bâtiments un de ces jours ! Le jeudi est assez vaste en temps libéré pour moi aussi...

Tu peux pas savoir comment ça me dérime d'avoir raté les autres conventions. entre le boulot et les travaux et les réarations de la bécane, j'ai pas eu une minute à moi. C'est à peine si j'ai dévianté ... Mais quel est l'imbécile qui a déclaré qu'une journée faisait 24H ? J'ai besoin du double!!!

I like cheering people, that's kinda my way of life. Maybe in my afterlife I'll end up in a beautiful forest with unicorns and faeries ... And maybe not. So while I'm here, I try to make this place merrier.
By the way, your gothic Cinderela is nice to draw. I think I'll ask her if she can come back later for other deviations ^^
