At last! It is finished!

This has been absorbing my time and energy for the past week now, and it has been well spent! A little ways back Shin posted the Meme he had finished, and although not tagged in it myself, I thought it was such a kind and inspiring gesture for the artistic community^^ I had never contacted my Fav artists other than to give praise to their skill before, and I hope that they enjoy this small tribute and maybe drop a line once in a while now that I've made myself known a bit more.

Ash kitty for you! You have been all kinds of encouraging and you have no idea how much I appreciate it^^

You have collected more out of my gallery than anyone else @.@ I'm flattered to no end! I had a tough time deciding what to paint for you (especially since looking for what you like I found a good chunk of your DA comments are ...russian?) So I ran with what I thought drew you to my art in the 1st place. Hope you like!

You just recently stopped by and had me lmao over poor, cranky King Varian XD Thanks for making my day^^ And for being a Legend of Zelda fan. I haven't drawn Link since I was in high school

4. The fact that I couldn't give you both a bigger box makes me sad ;_; Your work makes me crave bettering my art!

For a fellow WoW geek and Lore-lover, I give you my interpretation of an avatar of She of the Dreaming, Dragon Aspect Lady Ysera^^

Dragons were my specialty when I was younger, and yours are so incredible I feel the urge to do a revamp! As it is right now, I can't get near your awesomeness when it comes to beautiful beasties, so instead you get a different shape of dragon^^ And thank you so much for posting this meme in the first place!

5. Wheeeeeeeee~! Random!

In case you didn't notice, I like valkyries >.> I was so happy to see your work pop up in my random search! The rest of your art is incredible, keep it up!

Your 3D modeling is far beyond I could ever attempt x.x And sorry to say, your cars will always look better than mine XD Raziel looked like too much fun not to draw though, hope you like!

6. Ok. I cheated. These are RL friends, not ones met thru DA. But they deserve pretty pics too!

'Daw! Isn't little Ailig cute! This is an illustration to a WoW-set story she posted recently. Check it out, it's cute!

What scares a Bloodelf Demonhunter? LUSTY TROLLS. This would be my poor WoW D20 Demonhunter Rathyrian being harrassed and molested by Jin'roh, Charybdis0's NPC XD

I actually met you at Sakuracon 2009 (or at least a vendor you worked with) if I had known then the kind of work you do, you would have had a very excited Techpriest cosplayer at your booth for a good chunk of the day XD I can't wait for the next page of Undertow! Keep up the beautiful work and the good humor! <3


Well in addition to being able to give something back to my fellow artists, I loved working on this for myself. It's great practice to try and get out of your comfort zone and try something different! And rather than getting a piece 1/2 done and thinking "eh, close enough for me" making gifts for others urged me to put full effort into it all the way to the end. Thank you everyone for being inspiring!
