FANART LOVE MEME

[glockgal]

How much do I love the new 'edit comment' feature that LJ's sporting? Thos Thsi Tihs much. XDAlso, I feel like a total wretched cad for my last post. Hey Glock, let's see how sad and unhappy you can make people about their art! It isn't enough for artists to beat themselves up constantly over their art skills, I think it'll be better to create a

Now, see? I missed the flagellation post, so I just get to sneak in on the love instead.

I don't think I'm that well known anymore since falling out of fandom, but that's okay. I like my art (usually). I like that I'm always willing to learn new things, and that everything I learn always settles back into my general style after a shakedown period. I like that I've learned how to erase, how to let go, how to redraw and be happy with it. I like that I've learned how to experiment and see things in new ways. There's lots of thing I want to do better, but overall, I'm glad that I can look back on 90% of my old stuff and still not cringe, not even if it was year ago.

YAYYYY!! *smoochies*

Have I ever told you this? You were one of the Biggies on my list, when I was just creeping into fandom. I browsed Digital Midnight constantly for inspiration and admiration. I fell madly, deeply in love with that oh, so clean and precise line art you do (I think I've blathered on to you about this before, ahaha) and I still remember your art from Nanomango in...2004? 2006? I can't quite remember what year, but the art imprinted itself in my brain as something to aspire to.

That I had the honour and privilege to draw for you is like. AMAZING. I am so glad you are proud of your work and I really never ever want you to stop!!

I didn't know you before this -- we've got no fandoms in common -- but I went poking through your gallery, and all I can say is, uh, wow. You make it look so effortless, no matter what the style or genre. Color me impressed. :D

But I'll always remember you from the Master/Apprentice ML where you wowed me with your Obi-Wan. (AND OF COURSE WE ARE NOW BRELLA SISTAHS! How crazy is that? =p)

I've never known you through fandom, but at cons and through your circle I've admired you for years. Oh-So-Many-Years. You're line art and strokes have such confidence and character it's equally captivating and inspiring. You've no idea how confusing it is to look at a piece of your art, want so much to stare at it forever and ever while at the same time wanting to hide in a corner in shame and attempt to better my craft. You're work is perpetually provocative. [whoah, them Big Words came out] And I'm proud to have a few piece scattered around the house.
