Description
My hair tends to inspire me alot- be it the way it falls, it's shape or even how the light effects it...to bad alot of time I don't have a sketch book near by...especially when and after a shower. Though rarely does it ever make me think of food, which is a good thing. Sometimes, I feel like a 'PRETTY PRINCESS'
or a wicked evil entity of the water/night 
just on how my hair reacts that day or time. If you can't tell from now, I love my hair, take pride in it's length-and when I die I want all of my hair to go to charity; but in the mean time, I'm gonna keep my hair and enjoy it while I live

I love this one too.
For some unknown reason for the past few days I have not been able to "fav" work I like - this being one of them.
No sketch book after the shower? Keep a camera near by.

Oh I've had that problem from time to time, where I'm limited on how many I can fav to what device I'm using when I want to fav. Seems random when that problem occurs for me as well.

Tried it here at work and was able to. But it wouldn't when I pulled your gallery up. After three times the button showed up and I was able to.
Strange.

Hmm... there is something more to the curves of your hair as you've drawn them here, GreenAngel5. I'm reminded almost of the topographical lines on a map of a riverbed canyon, perhaps. It really works quite well, and I think it does so because of the amazing interplay between the figure and the composition. More realistic elements of your drawings, like the girl, always blend seemlessly with more abstract and dreamlike elements of the work, such as the composition and the flowers and interesting elementns like the paw prints that are placed over her hair. I've always liked that about your work, in that the sense of motion in your images always feels like the sort of soft, slow, perhaps hiccupy motion that only occurs in dreams.
It's kind of weird, but I think I'm most looking forward to that feeling of motion in your comic book. I think you have the ability to produce some of the most mind bogglingly awesome layouts the side of history will ever get to see, though I'm curious as to what you yourself feel to be the main obstacles to your creating your comic book? Is it simply lack of time? Or are there elements of your skill that you feel you need to work on before you can undertake the project in the way that you desire?

Awww, thank you for that insight and thought to this piece 
In my high school years, my 'theme' for art class was 'dreams' and 'fantasy' and that still sticks with me and my art...and I'm pretty sure that will be incorporated or motivation in whatever comic I make. Speaking of my comics...and what I used to call 'short stories'...because I really did want to create more little short stories to 'break the ice' on such projects-which kind of occurred at the end of my high school years and during my college years before my job at the bakery. Time is always a factor, but so is 'life' when it comes to creating comics for me...or rather myself...and then 'distractions'..especially the internet and other hobbies that I seem to want to get my hands on as soon as humanly possible. In the end it kind of boils down to 'overkill' on what I want to do and what I can do and in what my life style is at that moment. For years I've always 'hinted' at the comic that I've been thinking up, and it's grown in my head during that time too, so it's gotten simpler and complex as well...and I start to think that people may not care for the kind of comic I make...and I've noticed that as much as I want to make something that will catch other people's attention...I rather just make it to appease 'me'...and hopefully it might catch other people's fancy in time.
So, yeah, time has been a factor as to why I haven't drawn the amount of comics I want to, but so has my inner demons about how to 'make' and for 'who' the comic would be for....I feel like such a hypocrite at times. On the upside, especially with this factory job that I have; I've actually learned to 'live' a bit more and find myself a bit too. My sisters used to throw it in my face while I was working at the bakery that I 'didn't have a life'...but now I believe I do...but I also thought that too when I was at the bakery that I was 'living'...but I can see that I really didn't...not like now. I have more time, and I feel that I'm putting more effort into trying to have conversations and leaving comments online that is helping to voice my thought or praise to others in hopes that it might inspire them...so that I can be inspired....
Oh gosh, there I go rambling again. Sorry, didn't mean to throw that all out there like that. That's another thing I need to learn, to explain things more simply... *sigh* one step at a time

lol. That's quite the essay you have there, GreenAngel! It seems I'm not the only one who is good at writing long comments! It's interesting to hear how you feel your approach to art has been selfish, particularly when perhaps the whole of art seems to be pursued for those reasons. We artists are an egotistical bunch: We want people to pay attention to our work. Our stories. Every single one of us, lol! Yet, surely but slowly, you do seem to be widening the scope of your techniques. Despite this, that "selfish use of techniques" was very useful in producing work that ended up very much unique to you. Being selfish pays off big time when it comes to developing style, you see. It allows one's own inspirations to double down on themselves, and in this splended isolation, reinforce themselves to produce unique work. All creative work is like this, too. That is to say, influences are important, but at some point there comes a sort of cut off, where the artists digests and percolates those influences, so that they may return to the world, and show that world what they have created. It's no different for you, and so you are a strong artist.
As for "time" and "overkill" being issues with regards to your comic, lol... I can relate. 
It's always fun to read an essay, Green! I wouldn't have had any other sort of reply for the world.
