Thanks to all you guys!!

Journal Entry: Sat Jan 26, 2008, 6:26 PM
Hey guys (and gals),

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the views & favs on my recent picture "Lolita - Final Colours". She's shaping up to be my most popular piece yet, with almost 700 views and 50+ favs in little over a day!!

To put it mildly.. I'm totally & utterly flabbergasted, but very happy :)

I haven't got time to thank everyone individually, so this is a huge heartfelt **THANKS** to all my watchers, anyone who has fav'd any of my work, or anyone who has just stopped by my deviantART page for a quick glance.

I took some time out before Christmas, and tried to work on some more realistic portrait type work. I soon became frustrated & depressed, realising that I simply didn't have the attention span (or the raw talent) for it. So I decided to stick with what I know, to keep doing the cartoon/comic book style pin-up work, channeling all my energy into making each picture better that little bit better than the last.

The views & comments on my latest image have been a huge inspiration to me to continue with my style of artwork. Trust me, it's a huge deal to me when someone takes the time out of their day to leave a comment on my work.

So thank you all from the bottom of my heart & stay tuned for more sexy girls..

Hey Sharaya,

Apologies, it's still sitting half finished on my hard drive. I think I put it aside as I was having problems with the dress, then got distracted by other projects!

I'll have a look this weekend & either get back to work on it, or I'll draw you a new one up.

I won't make you wait much longer.. promise :)

Wow, so you doubt your abilities too, eh? I didn't think i was to begin with, but now i'm sure that it's not just me who worries about the standard i'm at. As for envy, i couldn't have put it better myself - if there's no drive to do better and move on from where we are, then it's just about time to hang up the pen/stylus and call it a day.

Thankyou in advance for the page visit, too... i'm nowhere near you in terms of skill, so please don't expect any fabulous works of art. :D

Thanks for your kind words Matt!! Comments like that really keep me going when I'm doubting my ability at this drawing lark :)

With regards to your comments, I know exactly what you mean about envying the talent of others. I've lost count of the number of artists I envy!

I've come to the conclusion that envy in artists is a natural thing, it's what drives you to get better. If you ever become truly satisfied with your stuff you might as well give up, as you'll have nothing left to learn.

I'll have to go check out your page too..

S'up, Johnny! Just had a look around the gallery - some really nice work in there, man. You've got an excellent line-art style - very clean and clear. And as for CG work, well... i would very much like to be able to colour like you do. I know art's not about being other people and is about individual expression and stuff, but you are very skilled at what you do, and i'd be crazy if i didn't want a little piece of that. Nice to see a fellow UK-based artist with such talent, as well!
