When we are together, it feels much closer than this. But I am unable to capture the same unexpected intimacy.

I admire your art so much.
Thank you, thank you. Everything about this is perfect...<3
The horns, the pattern on her pelt, her face...And Brd's pose too.

You and Brd are too sweet.

Omg I really fainted too.
I missed seeing your art, and this is gorgeous.
The light, the details on their fur, their faces *_*
That's so cute, and so beautiful.

Thank you both... I drew

Thank you both...
I drew probably somewhere around 25 sketches and rough speedpaints of these two trying to find the right feeling... It's strange, how it's so there in screenshots, but so difficult to capture.
I tried so many times because I was startled how connected I felt to someone I'd only known for a few hours and never shared a word with.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

I never know what to say

I never know what to say about your paintings :') They are just so expressive. So right, if you get what I mean. I love the poses, the fur, the light, and all the small details.

Also, I will always worship your colouring. Always.

I am always overwhelmed by

I am always overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiastic praise. Thank you so very much... it is a good exercise in trying not to say, "it is too much, I don't deserve it", and instead saying "thank you"...


Aletheia- actually I went back and counted and it is only 16. I didn't really have the time but I couldn't let go of it, either.
And when I met you in the forest, I had no idea who you were.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Excellent job, dear. I love how warm and soft this looks, very much.

Once again, I am so happy to

Once again, I am so happy to see more of your art. It gives me a good feeling of inspiration, though I've no idea how you paint, nor the brushes you use in your program, nor anything. Haha~ I still love it.

It's soft, sentimental, and I love the birds in Brd's antlers, and.. Hm.

Just everything is wonderful ♥

Eyestrain: ...Oh my goodness.

-stunned-
They're all so lovely! And you spent so much time on all this...
Thank you again for everything. ♥

Do you mind me saving these in my own private album (or at least onto my computer)? If you do, then I won't.

I had some idea of who you were, but I wasn't really sure either. ♥

I hate that I can only look

I hate that I can only look at this on my computer screen. I feel like I should be able to moosh my face against it. It's really frustrating.

On that same note, this is ridiculously breathtaking. I can barely stop staring at it long enough to write this ♥

Wow the fur looks so soft and

Wow the fur looks so soft and well painted. The warmth I get from this picture is perfect, so soft and gentle Smiling Im glad to see more of your art<3

Everything about this is extraordinary. The soft lighting... the warm colors... everything.
I especially love the brown stripe along Brd's spine there. ♥

Very beautiful, eyestrain. You are such a talented artist.

Thank you, it's really a

Thank you, it's really a surprise to find so many comments when I check back. It's a delight and an honor, not just for the number, but because each of you finds something nice to say. It's kind of unbelievable and great that what I made could have stirred feelings inside of others, or that you want to be closer to it.
Everything you guys tell me motivates me to try harder and deserve your praise. I really appreciate it.


@Pandora- I used Adonihs's brush set with Photoshop CS3. I am also playing with this brush set by eraserx.

@Aletheia- of course, feel free to use them. If you want to do anything with them, just let anyone who asks know the originals came from me. I don't mind.

@Keepiru- ... it's... hum. Well. It is the name in my and brd's mind for Aletheia, because of the appearance of their pictograph in game.
But I don't know. It was in my brain and I never really meant to let it slip out.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Oh my gosh this is gorgeous. I love the softness and peacefulness of it. I've missed your art too!

Oh my goodness. *___* I love

Oh my goodness. *___*
I love the pose, and the angle. The curve of the spine of the deer to the left (Brd?), is just amazing. I've never seen a picture that daring, pose-wise. And I am in love with your interpretation of the gazelle antlers. They look so sturdy and strong. Their expressions, and even the way they are against eachother could be reserved for any sort of relationship. It could work for friends, best friends, mates (etc.)....

Just stunning. <333 Please keep it up!

This is amazing. All of your artwork is. You convey the beauty of The Endless Forest so well in your use of color, shading/lighting, and form. I especially like the shape of their faces, their noses in particular. Very nice work, eyestrain. It is always a treat to come across one of your pictures.

Thank you waysofland. If you practice, your skill will increase. There are many ways to create and share art. This was painted using computer software and a tablet, not scanned.
