I'm so glad I found another artist who does some cartoon stuff! Cartoons are so hard to come by around here. Your gallery is great and I also like the pictures that aren't really cartoons, too. Great colouring and humour! Stopping by just made my day! ^-^

Ruth E. Steinback replies: "Thank you very much, I'm glad you stopped by too! It's always fun to get some new feedback. I'm glad I found your gallery since it has a lot of neat stuff in it. And making peoples days is awesome too! "

wow! I really like all of your pictures in general, and since I am lazy, I figured I could just comment about all of them on one convenient page! They are all good!

Ruth E. Steinback replies: "Thank you! I'm very pleased you stopped by and like my art that much."

Goodness me, it's been ages since i've been anywhere near elfwood ^-^
I should show you some of my new work, Ruth, you'd be pleasantly surprised i've been busy.
All in all, i hope you're still good, and (obviously) making that wonderful art you keep doing i still say that dragon's head is one of the best i've seen yet...
But enough with the senseless flattery ^-^ (i haven't changed much on that account )
Don't be a stranger, like i was wont to be *hugs and snuggles* ^___^

Ruth E. Steinback replies: "Hey Maarten! Its so good to hear from you~ Wow it has been a while. I'd love to see what new work you've been creating. It must be pretty awesome these days. I've kept puttering away, and life has been interesting on all sorts of fronts. I've still been trying to update around here with some new bits and pieces (but theres a LOT more on my website!).

Hope to see you around some more and hope you've been well too. <3 *hugs*"

Thanks for the comment you left on my page! im making my way through your gallery, but the comment system is angry at me or something. Or else im just a noob

Ruth E. Steinback replies: "Oh, thank you for all the comments back! That was completely lovely and unexpected and very much made my day, or week, or something. Wow~"

Ruth E. Steinback replies: "The seas around Iceland? Wow! Thats got to be pretty awesome. You must work on a ship then? There must be some gorgeous views there at times.

How did you come across my page? *is curious* I’m pleased you did, and thrilled you like it too! Hmm, not sure I have too much specific advice for you about Elfwood. Just be friendly and have fun exploring? Elfwood as a site has been going through transitions lately so the whole community has been transforming a lot."

Ruth E. Steinback replies: "Hello! I always thought that having people from all over the world with different backgrounds and languages made Elfwood incredibly fascinating. And you’re probably more fluent in English than I am in most other languages. Heh. I’m curious now if you do drawing too."

Great work!

Ruth E. Steinback replies: "Thank you very much! I like your smiley-icon, its very ornate."

Ruth E. Steinback replies: "GRR. Elfwood has glitched out this comment and my reply and refuses to allow me to reply to your other comment as well. I don’t know whats up with it but it is very aggravating!"

I would love to get a Myar tattoo! I know your work has a copyright, how would one go about getting your art on their body?

Ruth E. Steinback replies: "First off thank you so much for checking with me! Its really nice to hear from someone that is both aware of and respects copyright. It makes me so happy as an artist on the internet!

Now then, for that particular piece anyway, if you’re sure its what you want I’d say go for it. Someone actually did get a tattoo of ’myar’ a year or so ago so its interesting to see its so popular as a tattoo design. I’d love to know why you’re attracted to it and where were you thinking of getting it placed? And photos if you get it done? Good luck! I’ve heard tattoos can be quite the experience."
