before I begin, I'll repost the competition/challenge details next Journal.

but this time I'm taking some time out to acknowledge (feature, please read) a few people who make my life around DA (and a part of my home life) interesting and enjoyable.

First I'd like to thank everyone who is currently watching me, It encourages me to keep up the random sketches ^_^

Secondly, I'd particularly like to thank
They've been the major contributors to what I do.
Lemme just go on a bit of a feature ^_^


Has Comment a few times, Particularly where I've gone a bit awry in my sketching. Her Dragon sketches are the ones that I particularly like.

Leafy Scales: [link] there is so much detail here it sends my head spinning. but at the same time inspires me to work harder and strive for better results from myself.

Lion Hybrid: [link] not a dragon, but with a lot of detail. Can't say much other than it looks awesome. ^_^

Silverpelt: [link] Silverpelt is one of Raven's RP charas. the story behind me meeting Raven is an old forum I stumbled across, where Raven and a few other people did roleplay/story writing. Silver pelt being one of the first of raven's characters I met... anyway, I meant to say in it's simplicity is something I really like.

I met Sirianna not that long after Raven, at the same forum if i remember correctly. Sirianna is a happy kind of person with a love of horses, he horse drawings inspired me to try my hand out with some success.
Through the Fire and Flames: [link] newest to oldest again ^_^ I saw the title in my deviations box this morning and went DRAGONFORCE! and what do you know? she was listening to it. ^_^ anyway, I like dragons and Sirianna has a style for water dragons and the like that I think suits her OC really well.

Marcus and Mara: [link] well, a kiss. whilst I don't enjoy watching Public displays of affection there is something in this piece I enjoy. Perhaps it's just the emotion i feel whilst looking at it. Nevertheless it is an excellent example of sirriana's work.

Race the clouds: [link] FINALLY a horse! well, I couldn't just ignore the other two, could I? Sirriana has a bit of everything when it comes to horses (photos, drawings etc.) so there's no real surprise as to why she's so good at drawing them. and that skill helps to inspire me as well.

Bad Grammar, at times, but excellent writing. As well as illustrations. I'm sure that if she put her mind to it, she could bring out children's books (and books for teenagers) by the baker's dozen. she comments and features, as well as inspires, In small amounts, but significantly helps nevertheless.
I can't exactly say why I chose the first piece, other than the fact that i like it ^_^;

Would 'sorry' help?: [link]

Lavender Love: (part one, go to for more) [link]
Lavender Love Is one of MM's long stories, on one hand it's about being new to something, on the other hand it's coming to terms with your personality, even if it isn't particularly accepted... at first.

Hannah and Lavender: [link] based on the story above here is a pic of the two main characters. It's a pic that I enjoy just having a look at every once in a while. Hey, I'm just a little bit perv ^_^

Last and definitely not least, in fact the guy who does the most and is practically my rival (no, you cannot name me like in pokemon, ^_^) Passing Sorrow! I've known him for a few years now. and well... there isn't much I can say, he's pretty much like an opposite to me, (not so much so, when online though...) He's there to comment, and pester and irritate or query and often sees my work in the production stages. He's taught me a few techniques.

Spring Dress: [link]

A Rest in bliss: [link]

Summer Memories: [link]

I haven't individually commented as i'm running out of time here, (it's late and i need to clean up) but Sorrow has a solid style, constantly getting better and better, at a rate faster than my own progression. I always look forward to seeing his next work, even if it may not seem so. He is a witty guy, and I encourage everyone who sees this to go support him. He has done some terragen work as well. SO GO.

In FACT I encourage you all to go visit these wonderful Deviant's pages. AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED READING!
last bit!

Finally, I've submitted something to my scraps that was not done by me, but by my little sister (9 years old, last September)
[link]
based off my own work: [link]
Comment for her, I know she'd love it (be reassuring and nice)

anyway, again, Contest/challenge is open, basic Idea is in journal 50, journal 53 will have the sign-up sheet and details.

TILL NEXT TIME
Rob

P.S. LLAMA!
