~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ &nbsp;I've decided to attempt the 100 theme challenge, I need something to work toward and get myself back on track :) &nbsp;I've been overly self-critical when it comes to drawing lately, so I'm trying this out to see if I can pull myself out of my slump and improve. &nbsp;My goal is to improve in use of backgrounds, and lighting in my pictures, I haven't really focused on anything other than characters my whole life and so other aspects tend to suffer for it. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I wanted to make it a little more interesting and I have a bunch of ideas floating around in my head, so I've been using an onli

Now that everything is pretty much uploaded I don't know what to next lol. &nbsp;Excited to have everything up... makes me feel somewhat accomplished :D &nbsp;Just wish everyone I want to show it to could see it... &nbsp;Maybe I'll start a new project in maya. &nbsp;The more to add to my demo reel the better ^-^ if it turns out good that is. &nbsp;Perhaps a new environment or an animal of some sort.

Thank you for the fav :3
Thanks 4 faving Eyes... by Dark-Indigo ...:)
Thanks for the fav and watch!! :)
Thank you for faving! Your art is stunning.
Thank you :D Your art is stunning as well. You make the princesses so beautiful and realistic looking ^_^ Your Ariel and Tiana are my favorite. I love how you do your lighting and fabrics, something I'm still trying to figure out :)
Oh my god, thank you! It means a lot coming from such a talented artist! I am a fashion historian, so I am constantly working with many paintings, mainly from the XIXth century, but also some from late XVIIIth and early XXth century. They can be very helpful for figuring out the lightning and the way the fabrics and textures work. Of course real costumes can be even more helpful, but they are not so easily accessible.
Oh gosh thank you again! ^_^  I have such a hard time being confident in my work, I'm always picking it apart before I finish and so I finish pretty few lately lol, but I'm working on it :D  I think it's awesome that you're a fashion historian, it must be really interesting. I love making up characters so I've done a bit of research for the ones that need to be historically accurate and it was so fun, I learned a lot. But some periods are really difficult to find information for when I don't know where or what to search XD.
