I mean wow! Where do I even begin?

I seriously cannot thank everyone who voted for me enough. I fully and unbelievably appreciate each and every one of you and if I could, I'd repay you guys somehow lol.

When I first saw the lineart for this piece, I didn't think I could do it. I knew I wanted to without a doubt, but there were many moments where I didn't think I'd do a good job of it but I plowed on and damn has it paid off . I learnt so much through it and I feel I've grown in confidence, after all if I can pull off this baby, I can't be doin toooooo bad lol.

But yeah, tremendous thankyous to everyone who supported me. Big shout out to all my fellow entrants, you all did a bang up job The competition was amazing, so many rose to the challenge.

So ya, it's been cool. Now to finish colouring the Sonic piece lol

I've been contemplating whether with the time I have free now if I should start doing commissions. Spose first of all I dunno what kinda prices I would charge and second of all if I have the ability to meet peoples requests. I'm pretty confident in my colouring (esspecially after that AoA pic lol I know I can handle anything up to that level now).

Soooo, I dunno. I'll give it more thought anyway although if I do, I may not take every single commission coming my way.

So what else is new artwise? Well, started colours on the Continuities Collide piece I started. Once the compo came along that was put on full hold lol. I'm thinking whether to experiment with my colouring on it but we'll see once I've got all the flats laid down.

I also have something of a Ristar obsession at the mo, so expect to see plenty of Ristar . Definately gotta do more Redwall art too cos peeps seemed to like that stuff and it is fun to do. Maybe try drawing more actual scenes from the book or characters from other books in the series. A set of Versus pics would be cool I reckon Matthias Vs King Bull Sparra, Matthias Vs Asmodeus, Matthias Vs Cluny, Basil Vs Cluny's Horde. We shall see, we shall see.

And finally, thankyou sooooooooooooooooooooooo so so much to everyone who's been voting for me or commenting on the pic. You have no idea how much I appreciate each and every one of you

And for those of you that haven't seen it, here's my piece [link]

Take a look at all the entries and vote for your faves

Thanks all in advance!

For those who've seen the piece, voting is now open here [link]

Vote for my entry ya'll!!

So, I made it to 10,000 lol

Damn I wish I had the time to prepare a piece before I reached the mark but I kinda realised I should be focusing on my uni work so hence no piece YET. But there WILL be one.

But I'll keep this short and sweet anyway. Big thanks to eeeeeeeveryone who's ever viewed my gallery, commented or faved a piece of mine, watched my work or left a message on my page. I appreciate each and every one of you Do tell your friends lol

So what's to come in the future? Well, more art for starters (duh) more Redwall, more Sonic and more branching out into different artistic areas. "When Continuities Collide" will start to rear it's head. The main reason it hasn't already is cos I uh...haven't gotten further than the outline and I'm in the process of re-writing it from scratch for the 4th time. But it's been a great learning practice in killing your "babies" and letting go of ideas that seemed "cool" but were crap when you look back on them after a month lol. I'm gonna do another piece like the original drawings though. Might use that as my 10,000th marker pic but we'll see
