THAT IS THE SWEETEST THING ANYONE HAS EVER SAID TO ME EVER. ;_____;

GOD, Glock! You're one of my absolute HEROES!! You're keymash brilliant. I don't know how to pick.

UMMM. Your Star Trek stuff is GLORIOUS because, omg, the particular way you draw noses and lips really lends itself well to real people, but the piece that's standing out in my head is HOMER AND MARGE SIMPSON. AAAHHH OH GOD I LOVE THAT ONE SO MUCH. It's so simple, but beautiful!

And you. I'm inarticulate, but you. YOU are an inspiration! And your art is SICK! and I'm capsing when I should be italicizing, but I CAN'T BE ARSED, because I'm actually kinda yelling it in my head. I LOVE GLOCK ART!

Oh man at work so can't go look at specific arts, but I just in general love the style of your art.It's very personal and instantly recognizable, even when I stumble across years old DCU Garth/Dick art I'm all ZOMG!!! That's GLOCKGAL.

Which is cool, because it leaves an impression.
Specifically though, I love it when you rock the backgrounds. And you can. You've done picture with such intricate backgrounds that I just want to stare for hours seeing all that you put in. Related to this, OMG but your fashion sense is awesome. Love the costumes you put characters in!

I also like your textures when you make CGI images. You've got a good feel for where and when to use those.

Ermm also your watercolors are loose and fresh and I love them.

and if you drew updated Dick/Garth I would send internet hugs your way *L* Seriously that just tickled me running smack into your art because I got all obsessed with a random DCU character

I hardly know where to start, dude, but this is going to be some embarrassing gushing. I've been following your art for years, over multiple LJs (for me) and more fandoms than I can count! I think I may have discovered you through your illustrations for "Come Shots," though I'm not entirely sure. ;)

I've always been impressed with your always original interpretations of characters, your dynamic posing and costuming choices, your extremely distinctive style, and your fabulously broad range of subject matter. (I tend to check out your posts whether or not I have a clue about the fandom, which is a little unusual for me.) It's been awesome watching your work improve over the years. You're totally an inspiration. ♥

Dude, you are my fanart hero. No, really.

Not just the fact that I think you were born with a pencil in your hand (ouch!) but the way that you throw yourself into fandom, with volunteering at the conns, hosting and modding fests, taking over artbeta, etc etc etc.

I've also really enjoyed watching your journal go from pretty much only silly fanart/rl stuff, to more serious issues that have really opened my eyes and made me grow as a person.

Fandom is SO a better place with you in it. DON'T EVER LEAVE! *clings*

GLOCK OMG you are so sweet for making this meme. :DDDD

UM OKAY SO ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT YOU ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ON LJ EVER, you are also what drew me to LJ/fanart in the first place and made it seem like such a wonderful place to be. You are so immensely creative and talented, I adore your style to pieces, and your personality matches your art--that is to say, AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. I love that you don't really seem to limit yourself to anything, be it fandom, pairing, subject matter, etc. I love how much you love fanart and how you're just A REALLY GREAT ADVOCATE FOR IT because fanart is amazing and wonderful and deserves the love. :D

I WASN'T FINISHED WITH MY COMMENT, FU LJ.

Anyway ilu and I love looking at your art and OMG I loved collaborating with you SO MUCH, do you even know! ♥!!!!!

Re: glockgal

[chaosraven]

Oh Glock! Your art is lovely and so recognizable. I particularly covet your watercolor work! I also love that we've been friends long enough to see a really dramatic evolution in the way you draw but that it's still so *you*!

Re: glockgal

[strippedhalo]

I do not have the vocabulary to explain why, but your art is so GOOD and I love it a LOT. I love eeeeeeeeeeeet! And also you, ♥!

Re: glockgal

[la_fono]

The thing that strikes me about your work is how comprehensive it is: you get everything going like the clappers all in one peice, and all working together, line AND attention to detail AND texture AND composition AND thoughtful, well applied colour AND pattern AND incredibly solid shoes. stoppit, you're making the rest of us look bad :D

Re: glockgal

[gallo_de_pelea]

I want to check out your art but the images aren't loading on LJ for some reason T_T Do you have a DA page or portfolio site?

Re: glockgal

[glockgal]

AHAAHAH from LJ status:
We are currently performing maintenance to our scrapbook database servers. During this time, some images may be inaccessible. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope to be done as soon as possible!

GREAT TIMING, ME. I MEAN...LJ.

All of my super-old stuff is on my super-old archive but don't worry about that because the main reason I commented was because you commented and I recognized the art in one of your icons and realised:

I LOVE YOUR ART

Way back I was browsing through artist favourites on DA to give myself an inspiration boost and I came upon your art of TJ and Amal and just pretty much lost my mind, it was all so amazing. Your style and colours and composition and techniques were all things I emulated! I am so so happy to find that you're on LJ as well!! And that you have a website dedicated to them! And just. Dude! You commented in my LJ!!! I'm having a fangirl moment, omg. *flails*

Sorry I keep editing, but YES. THIS was one of the arts that helped me redefine my own art style. <3 <3 <3

Re: glockgal

[gallo_de_pelea]

oh my god you have TRGB and Farscape fan art *_* THIS IS AWESOME

And thank you! I am ridiculously blushingly flattered and not sure what else to say so I'm going to go look at more of your ghostbusters stuff ok

Re: glockgal

[frostheavens]

You're one of two artists that I will always associate with HP, and when I first joined LJ. Your style is amazing and your skill with so many different mediums is absolutely staggering. I adore everything you do.

Re: glockgal

[turntap2]

Yeah...whatever...I mean...I've been following your fanart for a bit (Read: YEARS).

One thing particularly distinctive about your fanart is that you rarely draw floating heads or throw characters into void and space. You always seem to create unique backgrounds that add to the composition and mood of each piece of fanart, and as a result, so many of your pieces just seem full and complete to me. :)

Also you draw the hot menz.
