Wow you have some very good stuff here, and I like your HP fanart.

Maija Viertola replies: "Wooo, the first comment to my main page! ^_^ Thankie for the nice words. I hope I will draw more to put onto this page - for now this still looks kinda empty and, apart from the HP fanart, everything is very old."

OOOH I like your style. Like the Sirius sketch and Death! I cant wait to get my own Fan Art Gallery! I want to see more of your work!

Maija Viertola replies: "Thank you. Fan art galleries are fun. It tells so much about what people like."

You've a great style and a wonderful gallery here, girlie (your SF/F one is nice as well...so many sassy men ). I especially like the Sandman ones, and the Riff/Brad/Janet drawing--because, really, there's hardly any good RHPS fanart out there. Keep up the good work!

Maija Viertola replies: "Sassy men rule. I'm not that happy with the Sandman ones myself, since they are quite old, but somehow that Riff-Raff still works for me. It cheers me up. ^__^ And yes, it is true, RHPS fan art is hard to find, though I'm not sure that mine counts as one of the masterworks. Thanks for the compliments!"

Are you somehow me, except way better at drawing? I mean, you like: Hellsing, Harry Potter and Rocky horror! Carry on drawing, please, ma'am. *Bows*

Maija Viertola replies: "And I like Depeche Mode. Somehow, something has happened between us on a mystic level... ^_^ But please don't call me ma'am, it makes me sound old! "

Sorry, Ma- Miss. I like depeche mode too though!!!

Maija Viertola replies: "Everyone should. ^_^"

You like the rocky horror picture show!
I love it!
You so rock!

Maija Viertola replies: "Thanks! You must rock, too!"

Hi there.
I was looking at your art and I am impressed. it is very good. Aa matter of fact it's so good I would like to impose a favor upon you if you feel up to a challenge. I am a D&D player who has a rather unique character that I would like a drawing of but I am no artist. He is a half black dragon, half pixie. He stands 2' 7" and is very dragonlike in appearance, with the exception that he stands and walks upright. He has fully functional dragon wings as well as a tail, and his hands and feet are clawed. he doesn't wear any type of armor and doesn't use a weapon. He wears very little for cloths, but he does have a few belt pouches and a shoulder bag. If you could find the time to send me a pic or two of what you think he might look like based on this description I would be eternally thankful. Thank-you in advance for taking the time to at least read this and consider my request.

Maija Viertola replies: "I might try this (if he looks more 'human' than dragon, because I'm not that good with animals). I don't have much free time but that has never stopped me, only slowed me down. If you could email me by clicking that 'email' link in the box at the top of my gallery, we could talk more."

Hi again.
I just noticed that you are in the prossess of sketching Saryn for me, so I thought it would be prudent of me to write to you and say thanx again for taking the time to help me out. It is very cool of you to do so for me, and I'll keep looking in from time to time to see how you are progressing.

Maija Viertola replies: "Thanks for the message! And thank you, too, for being so patient, I know it's been taking awful long."

I am more than happy to wait. Looking at the art you produce I know it will be well worth waiting for. Thanx again, I am forever greatful.

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
