please, Please, PLEASE comment and critique all works. I'm here to improve, not show off. HOWEVER: IF ALL YOU CAN DO IS INSIST THAT MY ART IS JUST RIPPED OFF OF NEOPETS YOU MAY REFRAIN FROM COMMENTING!
That's it. I've had it with the anonymous jerks who can't say anything more than 'It looks like a Neopet'. I'm changin my settings so that only other artists may comment. Appologies to the friends who'd like to comment, but can't now.
I go by Hawke or C.J., and am known as 'TNHawke', 'The Griff Ov Sorts' and 'Tackler Of Newbies' aka 'Wacks with Pickles'. I love animals of all sorts, but I'm pretty disgusted with most humans right now. I have lots of pets including 2 cats, four ferrets, 10 finches + hatchlings, 2 angelfish and a bunch of catfish, a goose, and a rabbit. I am also a Bible Believing Christ Follower.
I moved a bunch of my cartoon pictures here to Fan Quarter because I was getting too many complaints and comments about them looking like Neopets. Most of these are NOT and I've clearly stated on each if it is. I did this to hopefully avoid possible action by the ERB. And since I'm here now may as well upload a few other fan art pieces.
Ack! No one's been here yet! *does obligatory first comment dance* Hello! I still think the pic of Cyclops in the fuzzy slippers is my favorite out of all of these, mostly because you don't expect to see him in fuzzy slippers! Christina 'C.J.' DeCamp replies: "*giggles insanely* I know! Do you remember when I did it? I know it was at Britt's, I think you were there. Dang... that was WAY back a long time ago. We were still in school!"

Cool stuff you've got here. I find it kinda amusing how you seem to begin a lot of pics with "this is not a neopet". Don't blame ya...neopets aren't exactly high on the creativity scale. Keep drawin'! And I LOVE your ferrets. Christina 'C.J.' DeCamp replies: "Yeah, well, when everything slightly cartoony you do gets accused of being one... It gets old. But thanks for the comment. I need to get some more pictures scanned, then I'll see what I can do about posting more pictures of my Furrkids to the net."

I just wanted to say you have some great stuff here(much better than anything I can do!) I also wanted to bring to your attention my friend, shes great at drawing but noone gives her recongition for her work. Now shes starting to think very low of herself. I was wondering since you have a tour about hands, she has this one great picture of a hand with electricity. Her name is Lindsey Kaye Rowell. Thank you ever so much! Christina 'C.J.' DeCamp replies: "Thanks for the compliments. I'll go check out her page, I'm always looking for more stuff!"

Bad taste wrong colors overall bad you may like animals so just take pictures with a camera Christina 'C.J.' DeCamp replies: "What the FRAG are you talking about? FANTASY. Fantasy means NOT real. If you want real, don't hang out on Elfwood. You want to see photos of real animals, check out my DA account. If you aren't just being a prick, then explain yourself."

Heh heh heh... Nice pictures... By the way, i am an artist too. Can you give me any tips on coloring on the computer? Please!? It would be very nice of you! I will now dance like kirby ")> weeeeee! Christina 'C.J.' DeCamp replies: "Thanks for the comment. As to computer coloring tips? I really can't help you there. I suck at coloring. And all I have to use on those rare occassions that I do try it are Paint and Open Canvas. In Open Canvas I make a new layer and just color over my sketches. sorry."

AHHH great pictures and you got ferrets!!! Had one when I was a kid. Buhu there so wonderful! AND you got a bird. Oh can I move in with you? Hehe keep up the good work! Christina 'C.J.' DeCamp replies: "Lol. I have four fuzzies now, luv 'em to death. I have a cage full of finches. I think it's amazing how that little MS Painted impression of the invisible hawk keeps getting commented on. Lol."

I think perhaps the reason people try to tell you everything's a Neopet is because of the "cute" style of drawing you have - but similar styles don't mean it's the same thing (I will admit the gryphon does look a tad like an Eyrie at first glance, but I think that's the facial markings - though when you think about it, that's actually rather barn-owlish... minus the heart-shaped face). *shakes her head* It's kind of like how some people seem to think all kitsune are Ninetails pokemon, or how so many assume every single anthro animal is from Redwall. Isn't it enough to drive you nuts?
But the art is nice. About to pop over to your S&F gallery too. *blinks* And is it just me or is the ferret on the left of that photo huge? Christina 'C.J.' DeCamp replies: "*sigh* Probably. It IS very sad. Ah well.That ferret is Brock (named after a Redwall BadgerLord. Lol) and he's about 3 lbs. The smaller one is Serah and she's less than a pound. So, while he's average for a neutered male, she's pretty tiny."
