Well thank you both. Unfortunately, I have not had any time at all to draw or write, so I have probably gotten worse from ill-practice. But hopefully I wlil find time to draw again soon, and get better. I am planning a new Rashmalam picture... he's gone through some changes... *Adam*

hail, neighbor. i'm from right next door. look up. =) well i really like the wings on "eternal," i'm gunna have to try that sometime.

--
Thanks! I'm not too happy with the wings personally, I have seen some spectacular pairs in Elfwood, but I guess they are better than I thought! See ya around neighbor. *Adam*

Hiya.....I love your ideas and details of your pictures, but you do need to improve on the anatomy. Prehaps copy poses from magazines and books, or even find some books on art. (it worked for me and I'm only 15 !)

--
Thanks for the advice! For my upcoming Rashmalam pic, I found some pics of lions and practiced sketching them to get the basic shape down. I should do that with people too I guess ;-) *Adam*
--

Your artwork definitley needs work...hopefully your writing is better. Also, the theory of a demon becoming "reborn" is ridiculous...and the picture is bad too.--
Now, normally I delete comments left with no names, but I felt this deserved a response. (A) I like criticism, it inspires me to do better, but at least make it constructive. ( To the creative mind, anything is possible. How is a risen demon any less ridiculous than a fallen angel? Is it wrong of me to explore ideas not often used in mainstream fantasy? I don't think so. Oh well, thanks for visiting. *Adam*

A great start to what I'm sure will be an impressive gallery! I love the idea of the risen demon (and his wings are great). I would love to see some of your coloured work. I'm deeply saddened, however, by all of the negative comments you've been recieving. Pay them no mind, Adam. Unfortunately, there are some people in this world who enjoy crushing the dreams of others. Everyone could use a little improvement, but insults are never necessary. *steps off her soapbox* Sorry about that.... Um, keep drawing, I look forward to seeing more. Drop by my gallery if you have time. .

Thanks for the encouragement Magenta, but no need to worry, I won't let a few rough words keep me down. As far as colored work goes, I don't tend to color my drawings, save for the MSPaint improved Rashmalam pic. But I'm glad you like Eternal's wings, I am rather partial to them myself. *Adam*

hey Adam! Just checking out the site... pretty cool !
how are you doing???? I haven't seen you in forever! I just moved back to Houston... email me sometime!!!
love,
steph--
Hey Steph! Welcome home ;-) Glad you're back around, I hope to see you soon. *Adam*
--

Sure need more practise,cos yr drawing looks real bad...--
That's the idea. *Adam*

Hey, your work is really nice!! I cannot draw so realistically like that. *grins* I'm an Anime fan, so Anime is all I do, so I could learn something from this site (and your work as well as others). *reads previous comments* Wow, you are definitely a great artist, because all ready you take critism WAY better than any other artist I've ever heard of (or artist-to-be anyway). I think everyone who tries to draw and puts themselves in their work, is a great artist! No work is ugly or bad, some people are just born with a talented use for the pencil...*smiles* Great work, I hope you'll put more up soon!

Adam C. Raney replies: "Thanks for the kind words Candy!"

Hi Adam. I do wish you would draw more.. I personally like Simas'ta alot. I haven't really commented much in here beacause I'm not much of an artist myself. But just dropped by anyway. Keep it up.
--and if i find you. will you. still remember
playing at trains
or does this little blue ball
just fade away.
over silbury hill through the solar field
you know that i will follow you.
i'm aware what the rules are
but you know that i will run
you know that i will follow you
these tears i've cried
i've cried 1000 oceans
and if i'm. floating.
in the darkness
well, i can't believe that i would keep.
keep you from flying-- Tori

Adam C. Raney replies: "Thanks Aimee. I wish I had more time to explore art myself. What did you like about Simas'ta?"

I'm glad that the critisim you have been getting is not bringing you down. The talent of art is an amazing thing because there really is no one way to draw, it comes from within the soul. I really do love your art work so keep it up and I hope you find time to practice also, because practice is an important part of any skill. I love also how you are so open minded about fantasy topics, I'm very open minded and think everyone has a right to beleive what they please and imagine anything they want

Adam C. Raney replies: "Thanks Sherri. I'm glad to know you share you agree with me on opinions. I feel everyone is entitled to believe what they wish, and explore those beliefs in ways that don't harm others, such as drawing!"
