You have great artworks and hearing that you consider commission makes it even more interesting. I keep an eye on you and if you have a price list, please send it or publish it here on DA. That would be great.

do you do requests, perchance?

I'm currently considering doing commission work. Just need to figure out the process in general :/

hey buddy.some people told me you draw a picture in 2009.09.29
it about "hatsune miku"
you know.i love it.it's amazing.in that moment i saw a angel
but.why not here
π: 0 β©: 1
Hiya!
It was on here for a little bit. It was removed because Miku's age is under 18, so any nudity was against rules etc.
To this day I've never seen an official age for her, so it seems arbitrary to just say "naah, can't have that here" :/

You gotta come back too man!
I've deactivated my fb account if you havent noticed.. haha that'll most certainly help me in becoming more active on DA

I saw your Miku pic on another site and came here to Subscribe. I was also wondering if you did requests/commissions, and IF commissions, what your price range was. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Sorry for the long reply!
I often get asked if I do commissions. The short answer is that I don't. Not because I don't want to, but because my work is highly erratic and I can't guarantee I can finish anything. heck.. I can't even tell if I will finish my own works! But this is something I hope to work on - productivity.

Alright, well if you ever decide to, let me know!

You're a great artist! I love your style 
do you accept points commission?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hi there.
I don't exactly have a lot of money, so I would certainly consider working for it. I guess points would mean a kind of dA-based currency, which is not quite as useful I'd have to say. Thanks for your interest, though!

hii~... was wondering why u didn't upload this image:
[link]
cause it's nicely done, and it has ur name

I originally posted this on dA right after I finished it. It was later removed due to dA's content policy. They consider it to be underage content because apparently Miku is 16. News to me! I wasn't aware a virtual idol had a canonical age. So yeah, Would like to have it here as my featured pic again but I can't do anything about their policy. I thought about contesting the removal or modifying it to be worksafe, but I since moved on to other projects. Sometimes I release images to the net via boorus so I don't have to worry about the policy so much.

It's unfortunate that they do that kinda stuff. I really think dA should do something, like putting particular content warnings and such. Most other sites do that, like nudity tags, violence tags, etc. Because I think nudity and sexually has it's own artistic appeal too.

I'm a HUGE fan of your work!
I'm not sure I could even start to comprehend how you produce such flawless works.
Do you use a tablet?
π: 0 β©: 1
Scratch that - dumb question.
What KIND of tablet do you use?
π: 0 β©: 1
Wacom Graphire4. Nothing too fancy, really.
Sorry for the very long reply delay.

Hi HaydenM, just gotta say I came across your gallery and love it! The uses of colours are perfect
And I'm also going to that I've used nearly your entire gallery as my desktop wallpaper, great work man.
I read your tutorial for water, was really interesting and I've tried it out several times with different adaptations and all of them produce a perfect result each time.
Could I ask that you give me some tips for drawing backgrounds? I can never place my characters anywhere and it's starting to annoy me, lol.
Thanks,
Dazza

Thanks for the comments!
I don't actually know if I can offer good advice. But usually I start like this: I think "what would look awesome?" then go find photographs of whatever that was, and start painting that to suit my work. Kind of vague, but it's worked for me so far. Accurate lighting and shading is really important if you want to make characters blend into their environments. Lots of times characters can look pasted in, even when background and char is done in a similar style.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes my characters always look like they're pasted in! It's like, I can't quite get how to link the characters with a foreground and then have the foreground fade into a background... If you get me?
Your pictures are always so perfect and wonderful
Are you currently working on an image?

Wow, I'm so impressed with your tonal compositions of skin. Very real looking while maintaining the anime form. Soooo hard to do, but striking nonetheless. Realy good new work. Yay girls!
