new theme

Finally got a new theme for this blog thanks to mimi leaving me a long garbled confusing IM filled with links! I would’ve liked a more grid-ish theme with mb more columns but idk anything about making layout/themes and this was the closest to what I wanted…LOL

Thank you all for your kind, encouraging words and support on my previous post, I can’t describe how much they all mean to me.

I promise that my next post will be a picture, not text 8D

It took about 23 years, 11 months, 22 days, and 17 hours of my life, 
which included 4 years of art school and 1 year after-grad of 0 paintings,
with hundreds of encouraging words and millions of discouraging moments,

to finally admit to myself and to others that I am an artist.

It was neither an obvious nor an easy conclusion for me at all.

I finally got myself to work on the Mermaid of the 30 monster challenge, dedicated to sara because I luv her and she gave me a long, thoughtful reply that I totally agreed with when i posted the sketches before.I always imagine mermaids to be lying around sunbathing or frolicking around. But they are possessive creatures who are always curious about the land, so a human male is an ultimate prize to take and keep for them. They probably have a collection of dead bodies and other land treasures in their favorite cove or something.Ty to all who let me know their thoughts on the sketches, it really helped me to create the final image! You guys are the best <:

I just wanted to say that I love this and it’s wonderful! I think the colors are lovely, down to the subtle blurred blues and oranges in the backround. I’m not sure why you think this picture is boring because I find it interesting. Even her lip has this quark to it, like there is something she wants to say, but isn’t sure if she should. She is definately in deep thought. It is moving for me to look at. I admire your skill and talent a lot! You should definitely be proud of this beautiful piece of art. ~ Sincerely Xenalia Stargazer

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your kind words, they really mean a lot to me and it’s comments like these that make everything worthwhile. (I would’ve said this privately but your ask was turned off ):..)

My holy pally, Dulcet. I really wish I could raid with her more and get some practice healing on her ]:This picture started out as an attempt to make a ‘tutorial’ for mimi, and I decided to go ahead and sort of finish it. (see the steps/tutorial here) I really wish I could make interesting pictures with great colors but I always end up with just boring picture like this so I gave up and wrapped it up to post it.
