Description Thanks very much for the support through the years, especially you who've been here from the beginning. I know that you all have made me better. Your comments encourage me to do better, to create more art, and you all well... make me feel talented, and able to become more talented. Whenever I see beautiful drawings here on DA, I think if someone can do that, I can do that as well, and it makes me work hard to get to get to that level in my artwork. I've always dreamed of being a true artist, someone who makes you see the world as it is--kneequakingly, breathtakingly, heartstoppingly beautiful. I know I have much to work on, but you all are so loving and kind, it really gives me alot of faith that I will one day be able to do what I love everyday of my life, that I may be an artist.

Blessed to be in your company,
Sasha Lynn Stowers

Wow, talk about crazy improvement over just a two year period o__o.

-sigh- looking at your blurb for 2005 makes me wish I lived in a more populated area so I could more closely observe people. I do that constantly with animals, but I have plenty of them around so it's obviously much easier x3.

Looking forward to your future works (especially those tutorials XD)!

And good luck on the boyfriend 83! But who needs a life >.>? -coming from someone who has less than no life- XP

You improved so much over the course of two years!! And to such beautiful artwork~ I guess those anatomy books and classes really pay off.
2004 I wasn't as good as you were that year, and here 2006 you're a million times better, and I adore your pencil work, it's so gorgeous.

Thank you for your best wishes.

rurousha In reply to sashas [2006-12-28 17:24:02 +0000 UTC]

Getting all my student loan paperwork delt with.

Not a very exciting goal, but it may very well take all of next year.

Wooooooooow as I look how you've been working so hard to get onto your level now, I can only say: you really deserve to be called an artist, because there are many people who are SO talented, but they don't do a damn with it.
And YOU, you really go for it
Awwww, I can't say more things, because written language won't satisfy me.
Well, hope your efforts will be rewarded ^_______^

Good luck with the years and efforts that come

Wow...that's a lot of goals. Good luck.

It's nice to see that everyone starts somewhere. You may not know it, but you've become one of the people whose art others look at and say, "I can be that good." And then they try harder to be.

I can't wait to see what you come up with next year.
