Your beautiful work was featured here, my dear friend! My congrats!

Feature for my dear watchers #2!Hello, my dear friends!
Β 
As you remember I asked my watchers to send me their five best works from their gallery in the best days of July, then I had to choose a one work from each message to make this feature.
More information about it is here:

In the issue, I had 60 members for this art feature, and a little bit of works I made a decision to submit myself for these people, because they can be busy. I understand it. Hope they don't mind to be a part of the feature too.
I'm sorry I'm a little late with the release with this feature, I was pretty busy with new commissions. You will see these commissions this month. Hope you like them! And I hope I will do them very well!Β Β 
Thanks a lot for your support to me! It means a lot! Sometimes I can't believe that so much people like my art! That's incredible! It makes me happy and it makes me smile! Thank you very m

And yes, I adore Jared! Oh you know what? I just discoveder Thirty seconds to Mars! Maybe I know them since 3-4 days (?)

Do you think I should punish myself for that? Geez, HOW did I live without them?


Recpect, my fellow Echelon!

RayPelesko In reply to Sherlover221 [2013-10-03 02:08:39 +0000 UTC]

Haha! I felt the same when I first heard them. Many years ago, their song, "Attack," and the music video for "From Yesterday," made me an instant fan. I was fortunate to see them perform live once, and it was awesome! If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend it. I love their sound, kind of atmospheric at times.

Thanks for the watch!! I'll definitely watch you as well, my fellow Echelon!

30 Seconds to Mars likes to tour a lot, so you might get another opportunity to see them. It actually wasn't too expensive. They're pretty reasonable as far as cost goes. Sometimes they sell more expensive tickets and you can meet them in person. I haven't done that yet, but maybe someday!

Thank you so much!!Β  I spend a lot of time using tortillons to blend the skin tones, gradually building up layers. Though I must say, after seeing your gallery, you're very talented with blending skin tones as well! I'm flattered that you like my work!

So just tortillions? Cool.I use'em too, but I mostly end up wearing off my paper somehow. :/ My work is never that neat. Guess there are a lot more things to learn!
