    Just when you think you have time to do all these great and wonderful things, life happens. It has been several years since I have updated here. I've since finished grad school and joined the work force as a computing archaeologist. I got married in October of '06 and have been moving on average of once a year for the last seven years. Two of those moves were trans-Atlantic. Basically, I haven't had as much time for drawing or writing as I used to. For now, I only have one picture to add. There will hopefully be more to come as I have a few more that are near completion. I am taking much more time with each drawing than I used to. The new trend in my work is adding more context for a character rather than having a floating body in the middle of nothing. I think that adds to the interest of the work.

    Very nice work but i think you need to work on the faces a little more the lips are unrealistic.

    Hmm, you need to work on alot...

    8 Tara Kristen Young replies: "Ok, that's it. I am sick of these people who "anonymously" leave messages that don't help at all. If you have an opinion, be proud! And maybe this is just because I have been stuck in academic circles for so long, but SUPPORT YOUR ARGUMENT. Take a look at the comments above yours, people have explained WHY they don't like my work. What specifically do I need to work on? If you feel everything, then pick some major points. Don't just say, "You need to work on alot." That tells me nothing. I find it funny that it is always these types of comments that are written by people who don't want to admit who they are. I appreciate constructive criticism and it actually does help. Your comment is just a waste of time. Maybe you should take writing classes on how to express yourself clearly? Maybe classes on effective writing? See, it isn't that difficult, I just gave you some constructive criticism. If you have a point worth making, then come out and say it. Otherwise, keep it to yourself. "

    The guy above is right you do need to work on alot, but I'm going to tell you what you need to work on! First of all you should try to make the your heads a little bit bigger so they will fit the body. second the eyes on some of your pictures are just a little to far apart. Well those are my suggestions, keep working hard I can tell your going to be a great artist with a little practice.

    15 Tara Kristen Young replies: "Thank you. That was at least constructive. I have no problem with those kinds of comments. I'll keep those things in mind."
    19 Jul 200545 I love 50 cent!!!!!!!!!!!!(50 cent)
    Your drawings are horrible.Go back to art school.

    10 Tara Kristen Young replies: "And your eloquence is non-existent. Try going back to grade school to learn how to express your thoughts better in words. Then maybe you will succeed in giving me constructive criticism in this forum rather than just looking like a stupid jerk. If you need some help, here are some websites on writing:http://www.temple.edu/writingctr/student_resources/reviews.htmhttp://cctc.commnet.edu/grammar/"

    I don't understand those comments which say that "heads should be bigger" or "eyes more close to each other" - there are always exceptions. And this is fantasy, anyway.
    On some of your pictures the eyes are more apart from each other, on the others they are closer. I don't see this as a problem at all.

    I like your atr, but some of your faces are kind of squaer. This coming from a person that can not draw stick men that look real. But you do have some real talent.
