I keep feeling more and more desperate about this. Whenever I look at what I've done so far I only spot terrible mistakes!

Keep in mind that a long period without bumping this blog doesn't mean I haven't been working on them - if the version I'm working on keeps the link of these, they update themselves automatically.
Lately I've been backpacking the sketch in the original link and keep working on copies, just for safety, so the odosketch here might not be the current version.

Sithrim, Amadahy and Brd - nearly finished
Donut and Atvana - half way to go
Raleigh and Jane - just began

My, I don't even know where to start ._. only one of the drawings is close to be finished.
I've been having no time for the community. I'm sorry about this, I shouldn't have posted them when I knew I wouldn't get them done in time.
There's nearly nothing to be seen in this update. Sorry for bumping.

First off, I want to apologize to the people that only got a messy sketch as gift yesterday. I feel really bad about that; you mean no less than those that I gave a detailed paint work to. I just lacked time.
Some are really long, if you watch them all I'll love you forever.

I'll leave the titles to your interpretation&hearts


ADDED SO FAR (alphabetical order)

for 3linmaya - Donut - half way to be finished [on hold]

20 Mar 2011
I decided to start a new one, I wasn't satisfied with that sketch at all. The biggest problem is the amount of white necessary; the only white brush of this program is an enormous square that eats up most of the canvas if I do a wrong move.

You are one of the sweetest people I know here. I always feel surprised and pleased about how welcoming to everyone you and your Donut are... not all the fanart of the world could pay what you do for this community.

for AliceV - Smiling Jack and Crying Jane - being painted [under progress]

I abandoned it completely for a long while, again because of that horrible white brush! Also I had drawn the Ruins by memory and regarding none of my deer frequents them that much it's not surprising the number of things I got wrong. I'm pleased so far though :]

I've always admired your art, characters and stories. I guess in my first times in the community I had no scruples about displaying my envy in the most annoying and silly way possible :p Also I used to only come here when my brains refused to work for anything else xD I hope you forgive my wth rudeness one day, I wished I could get you something better than... some unreferenced sketch of... I don't even know.
I could have finished this long ago. Just the white brush, a square with 1 centimetre that cannot be reduced, + your blindingly white characters = my fail. I didn't have courage to save the earlier colored versions, but I'm working on it.

You. Yes, you over there hiding under the pile of fanarts. Who can't even imagine how much of an influence she was for my current artistic style! I'm by no means comparing your amazing art to my failed attempts of sketching, but you were probably the first artist I interacted with here. The third deer with face I drew and the first fanart I ever made was your lovely Raleigh, which I never could get right and had to sink into references, even now. But you can't imagine how much your bolt and flowing art inspired my actual style... your odosketches teached me alot, I would be unable to use that program and make any of these gifts if I hadn't watched your own artworks. Thank-you so much for things you never knew you had done, and I'm sorry for the way it sounds, I hope it doesn't seem like I'm intentionally copying you xD

For some reason I don't like how this is going now. I only see flaws... The scenery doesn't seem solid.

While I was coloring it, I found a completly new technique of painting by short and quick strokes. I must say I'm quite amazed how you can even help someone improving so indirectly! x) Thank-you for welcoming so patiently in this community, since I was still confused about the formalities of the players of this game when I first commented your beautiful art. I'm afraid I acted way too childish and rude back then.
I feel like you represent so much to the artists of tefC, the way you keep pushing everyone into improvement with your useful tips, the way your art inspires us to go on and reach your control over the colors.
Longtextomg.

I feel terrible about this. It's probably the longest odosketch I ever done Dx I believe I can actually finish it quickly and then I make a mistake I can't get around and lose motivation.

I'm very sorry for taking so long with this, it's hard to re-take an artwork started during an art block :c I think you are a wonderful person with an amazingly original character :)

for Serenai - Atvana - half way to be finished [on hold]

20 Mar 2011
I'm stuck here really. Probably the first time I can't progress from such an early phase of the work. The problem is that I put so much effort into painting what I have so far this delicate that I'm afraid of breaking it or covering details I like |D how silly

You seem to be always there to cheer up everyone. Thank-you for everything you make for the community.

for Sithrim - Sithrim - nearly finished [on hold]

20 Mar 2011
I'm so sorry on how long it's taking :c The fur isn't looking like I wanted. I'm not sure about adding background; it looks very empty this way, but I would probably wreck the whole thing.

Your art style is truly inspiring. And you have some epicsauce characters ther too c: Forgive the delay of this, I felt guilty for failing so hardly in the last one xD
