Dude, this is cool... ^_^ I'm going to be getting an account soon... I hope... But I've got to get this stupid scanner working... *Glares and smashes stupid scanner with sledge hammer* Grrrrr..... Oh well... I'll eventually get it up... And when I do, I'll tell ya... Please... E-MAIL ME!!! I lost your E-mail addy a while ago, and cant find your phone number for some reason... Well, hope to talk to ya sometime soon, Ciao!

Hi Dianna, Thank you very much for your comment on my story! *hugs*

We should go on a walk soon diana i havent seen you for ever, im going to clackamas next year. Peace cat.

Your illustrations are like the best iv ever seen, like they could be a moive. its fun and original at like the same time. you should really think about putting more pastels in your work, peace cat.

Diana Watkins replies: "More pastels, eh? I might consider that, except I hate working with pastels... you have no idea how much I end up erasing colored pencils =P"

Hi! Just finished browsing your gallery. You have some really nice stuff up here. Your people look very good and proportionate, but I think you should make them more realistic... because I like things that way.

But may I suggest a book? It's "Drawing the Head and Figure" by Jack Hamm. It is very detailed and has lots of pictures. Yay for pictures!

I was going to say something else... what was it... oh yeah! Want to learn a bit of HTML? I noticed you had quite a few links up there. Hehe. But to make a link to someone's gallery, it is quite simple. all you do is type in this code:
Name Here
Only, everywhere I put a little star... get rid of that space. If you need any help, let me know, I will be happy to. Also, let me know when you update. I would love to see your new and improved stuff! See ya!

Diana Watkins replies: "Thanks a million for the suggestion about the html... I had been wondering that meself I have that book; its just that the only body styles it deals with are very limited, such as slightly-chubby women with no visible muscle tone, while I really badly need pictures of... women with muscle tone! I remember searching through it the other day for little things on how to do necks, but it doesn't focus on musculature, which is what I need most "

Dear Diana,
Elfwood writer Miguel Ettema here. Just thought you may like to know, I am writing a sequel to Rarest of the Wild under the guidance of Anna herself, so if you wish to drop by my library and have a bit of a look, you are most welcome to The sequel is 'Rarest's Child' on my site; first three parts are up, and the remaining four will follow at about one per week. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed writing it; it's been a pleasure working with Ms. Smith
Keep Drawing!

I think you have a pretty impressive gallery here, Diana! Lots of outstanding pictures. When you commented on my "unicorn" you said that you´d tried the detailed landscape thing without success. Well, all I can say is keep on painting, and also, look at many different pictures of landscapes so you can form an idea of your own landscape. That worked for me. Now I´m going to entertain myself some more in your gallery.

You have quite an impressive gallery here and I've enjoyed it very much. I also want to thank you for your visit and the comments you left at my gallery. Thank You! ;o)

You've got talent, that's for sure! I enjoy looking at your work, and I'm glad to see you seem to like mine.

Diana, know that you may be trying to ’just give constructive critism’ but for some large breasted people you sometimes sound offensive when you say that if a woman has a large chest she should be falling over unless she’s cubby. there are slender women out there who are slender and also have a bigger chest than others. im not saying that apreshiateing the flat chested female figure isn’t just fine, but try not to leave hurtful comments about us larger chested women out there.
