Description I wanted to thank everyone who showed me support. It's amazing that even though we're all strangers you still cared to leave some nice words for me. I had no idea so many people were there for me.. I felt so burned out, I tried to draw so many times but I would always give up, I had many creative ideas but my drawing skill wouldnt satify my expectations and I would end up depressed, with no will to draw anymore.. But you guys really did make me feel better, I want you to know I've read /all/ the comments you left on my profile and under my drawing in `PearlEden gallery, and I really appreciate every each word thank you everyone I drew this picture to prove myself I'm still able to make something to make myself happy. I think it worked, and I hope I won this battle with this little thing in my head telling me I suck
Once again, thanks everyone, and biggest thanks to


thats whole fcking lot of scales ._. my hand is dead..

This work is on sale for 45$

That may be a lot of scales, but you did a great job at placing and detailing them. Bravo both for the picture, and for rising from the ashes! You have proven yourself both muse and artist a thousand times over.

I must say, I love the shape you do for your heads (pretty much all of them, wolf, dragon, etc.). They always seem to have such definition and power while staying delicate and contained. Wondrous work, dear.


Back from the brink indeed! And we all welcome you back with open arms!

It's good to see you back in action <3

This is lovely as always; those scales were worth the pain :'D Lovely pose and lighting too, the rays are very expressive, and those blues give this all a very regal feel

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better I wish you the very best at continuing to find that spark to do art and enjoy it.
Now onto this gorgeous picture:
I've missed seeing your art so much ;u; I seriously gawked at my screen for a bit before clicking that thumb in my inbox. This is stunning! The lighting looks so bright and actually shiny like light. Gaah I love shiny things too much X"D All your work on those scales and feathers really paid off they look great. I hope one day I'll be able to draw scales even half as good at that. X"D Heck right now I can't even draw decent outlines of scales on things.

But yes welcome back you've been missed~ <3

Yesss! Your back! You have no idea how happy that makes me! Plus- this drawing.. is beyond epic. And those scales are awesome, so I think you dead hand paid off.

The background is really cool as well.., is that all watercolor, or some other mixed media thrown in there?

A gorgeous piece from an amazingly talented artist dont feel bad and look toward the light. I find that with every art block, a new recovery can be made and that after that block, even MORE amazing art can be created. Its all a big learning experience. I cant wait to see more work from you, your style is one I adore <3

Don't worry about the feelings that you have when you have no muse to draw. Its just a small faze that we all go through. And what it does, it makes us better, makes us think about stuff we didn't thin before. Like how you wouldn't know about all of your supporters and fanbase :3


And judging be the picture, you're improving!


So don't take this in the opposite direction!! You're doing great!!!
