Very thank

You might not understand how and I don't really either,
but somehow just a few days spent here, reconnecting with friends, making new acquaintances,
seeing everybody's art and designs and actually logging into the forest has brought it back, my inspiration to improve in my art.
I don't usually feel the urge to make a whole new post to say thank you but this is one I feel is important enough to do so.
I'm no good with words, but I hope I can show you what I mean with a piece I just finished.


This wip had been sitting in my folders, stagnant and rotting since the beginning of this year, ok,
and in the last three days it's somehow become something I'm really proud of.

SO whether you know it or not, care or not it seems that TEFc is one of my deepest wells of inspiration
and drive for improvement, all within a one of a kind community.

A really big thank you to everybody, haha.

I love it and I love you.

I love it and I love you.
The brush strokes look so well, still. Could admire this piece forever. Would love to see more tef art from you, but whatever you draw is an inspiration, really, doesn't matter the subject. The tiny sketches of photos you draw often make my day when you do them. Glad to have you here and pls continueee.

This is brilliant. I'm really drawn to your painterly style, I love those delicately painted shadows from the spikes. Also the way the light shines on the tail.
You should certainly be proud of this! I'm so glad this magical place urged you to keep striving forward with your work <3

Glad to have you back tbh.

Glad to have you back tbh. <3 You already know what I think of this but I'll say it again. I LOVE your distinct comic/punk/painterly style, it always stood out to me for that and I'm always excited to see more. Love this piece especially for the colours and the exaggerated posture, it's so damn cool ugh.
That hoof turned out fantastic btw! Well done. ♥
