Do you by chance have a DeviantArt? I fell in LOVE with the artwork and if you did, I could "favorite" them for future viewing

Aweeesome job

[himmapaan]

Thank you so much!

As a matter of fact, yes. It's a pretty recent account and has the very same name as my journal. :)

Since your deviantart has had so many comments, I thought I'd come to LiveJournal to congradulate you on the DailyDeviation

I absolutely ADORED "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" and wanted to suggest it for a Daily Deviation myself, actually, so I am EXTREMELY thrilled it got one. At the same time, I'm stupidly giggling to myself, "haha! I got to see it BEFORE it was a Daily Deviation," acting like a five-year-old XD

Aw, haha! Thank you so much. I'm utterly exhausted from replying to comments and thanking everyone - both on DA and here. Thank you for relieving the weight of the inbox over there by one comment though!

Wow. These are really, really excellent illustrations. I don't think the dragon is weak at all.

[himmapaan]

Ah, that's very kind, thank you so much!

Wow. That was absolutely amazing, and you even had one from The Enchanted Pig, one of my old favorites! Thanks for sharing. ♥

[himmapaan]

Thank you so much! I'm glad there was a favourite of yours among there!

[himmapaan]

Oh, Gosh, thank you so much, it's very kind of you. I'm very glad you like them.
