Never Stop
Adoptable Sale/Each is 50c/50pts now!!!
All my adoptables are currently on sale. I could use the money, but mostly I just want people to have them. I need to focus more on figure/anatomy so it may be some time before I have any new designs out.
I hope you like them, and if you don’t let me know :3

Not far back in the annals of art the ability to achieve just a lifelike appearance might have caused some wonder in a spectator, enough to capture his interest. Today with color photography and the excellence of the camera going perhaps even further in that respect, we are surfeited with realism par excellence, until mere lifelike representation is not enough. There is no other course than somehow to go beyond obvious fact to pertinent fact, to characterization, to the emotional and dramatic, to selection and taste, to simplification, subordination, and accentuation. It is ten percent how to draw, and ninety percent what you draw. Equally defining everything in your picture area, in value, edge and detail, will add more more than can be achieved in photography.
Andrew Loomis, Figure Drawing for all it’s Worth, 1943 (on going beyond mere technique in your artwork)
Reading Loomis today so I apologize ahead of time for any quotes I spam you all with. Zoroko brought up hyper-realism the other day and this quote made me think of that.
While basing your foundations firmly in the real world and doing super-detailed studies and the like is the way to go to make your work believable, being a human xerox machine (usually from photos they do not own) all the time is rather pointless IMHO.

Mini Update
I opened up my Ask box! Feel free to ask me anything!
Also, I opened up submissions too. I was thinking people could submit their artwork to be on this blog! I thought it would be fun! Plus, it could generate publicity. :)
You could also submit Tutorials/Ref/Misc. stuff that you think followers would enjoy!
I could try reviewing your artwork you submit, though I am highly inexperienced, so I may not be the best for the job! I would do it gladly though! >:}
