| 15 Sep 2004 | Kristin L. Thomas | I read your Bio and just thought I'd comment because you sound a lot like me. I'm an archaeology major who likes to dabble in art and just recently started to put it online. Oh well. I'm going to look at your gallery now. | |
| 2 Nov 2004 | Kaki | I have a request! could you do a cheetah? any style i just like cheetahs...thank you!  Melissa J. Starling replies: "Hmm, I can indeed do a cheetah. I think it's about time I did another cheetah pic, in fact. So keep an eye out for updates. " | |
| 19 Nov 2004 | Angela J Kingston-Smith | Hey there, I tracked you down from VCL. You have a nifty art style and a delightful tendency towards more obscure animals, for which I thank you ^^ The furry world needs more sand cats and fossa and less wolves and foxes! Keep up the good work. Ever considered doing a Colugo? They're my "animal of the year" atm, not that I haev any on Elfwood yet.  Melissa J. Starling replies: "Hey Kat! For some reason I rarely draw anything that isn't predatory or hoofed. I must expand my horizons a little. " | |
| 26 Dec 2004 | Reene Sylverwind | Egads, if there is one thing I wish I could do, it is draw animals (and in full colour no less). Your gallery is excellent! You've managed to do what most people fail miserably at; getting animals and humanoid animals into a pose that looks natural. Cheers and kudos  | |
| 10 Jun 2005 | Melissa | I've gone through your WHOLE gallery, all 71 pics, an these are absoluely fabulous. And yes my name is Melissa.  :0 Keep it up! | |
