Aww that's very flattering for you to say! I have no doubt you will master the medium.

It's true. I did not think that could be done with markers.
Thanks, you're too kind. *looks at botched attempts* practice, practice, practice!

Great work and I'm really impressed by the fact that it was done with markers.
I've never been that good with those.
Very nice.

D'awwww! I'll definately bring the original with me to Comic Con in my portfolio for you to see in person (I'm that egotistical lol)

This is (IMO) one of your best pieces. The lighting and the shadows are photo-realistic. It is a beautiful capture of David Collings and has a touch of magic to it to go along with that historical costume charm. I'm totally impressed! :-D

Awww dude that's very kind of you to say! But all credit goes to the man himself, he's the best muse (next to Leanne) I've ever had! I should get the original piece framed soon, I'm deathly afraid of it sitting around here...

Wow, you're really good. Tonight I was looking at that Mr. Spock you made for me. It hangs on the wall behind me in my living room, but I can see it in the large mirror across the room and I don't see any flaws in his facial structure. I must say you rock with a God-given talent. Believe it when I tell you you are blessed.

Awesome result you've got here (as always, actually, looking at your gallery).

I've never seen pens used in this way, and its very interesting how the output hangs somewhere between looking like very accomplished vector work (on the hair), traditional charcoal/pencils (ear, spectacles, cheek), and a painterly treatment of the eye and nose.

It really transcends the media.

I can't imagine the talent, skill and dedication you've had to show to master this technique. Its really inspiring.

Thank you very much Van! I actually got so mad at this one because I couldn't get his mouth right, getting the curve of his lips to his cheeck is so difficult! But he's to cute to be mad at for long hahahaha
