Thank you, Carina! Aah, the idea of a member of Libera actually seeing any of my art is terrifying and thrilling! I can’t even imagine that.

Haha, Narnian, flora-dreams.com would fill up too fast with my Libera-related babble, video game reviews, rants about homework, and useless Star Trek trivia! I’d best stick to Libera Dreams. ♥ Huge thanks to both you and Danie for the kind words—I’ll start working on pictures of Tom Cully and Joe Snelling as soon as I can!

Jude, I appreciate it so much, and thanks also for adopting my picture as an avatar!! I can’t tell you how happy it makes me!!

Dani, thank you, but I am positive you can do way better than me! Do you make art?

Thanks so much! Haha, to get an idea of the composition, I looked at three or four different reference photos and combined the elements from each that I liked (though there are two pictures in particular they ended up being heavily dependent on). In one version, they had their eyes open, but I thought it looked more “atmospheric” this way.

Depending on your definition of the term, I may or may not have done this free hand…I draw using a graphics tablet, so while I have the luxury of Photoshop instruments—a handy color-picker, a perfect erase tool, and an “undo” button—I do not trace, and I start every picture from scratch. Traditional artists tend to have varying opinions about the legitimacy of digital artists, which I understand completely—I personally like to think that all mediums require some valid amount of aesthetic perception, but, of course, I’m biased! ♥

Oops, sorry, that turned into an essay! Thank you again for your generous comments!

I did, I did! Thanks for encouraging me so much! Pffft, of course I missed you, even though you were never technically “gone” thanks to all the other websites we share. Hope you’re feeling better!

Ah, but did anybody else miss me? OF COURSE NOT!!

And yet, I never had a chance to miss you! You were back before you were gone, considering we've have been e-mailing quite frequently!

Oh, illuminaperpetua, of course you are missed. But I just thought that you are busy creating the next master piece.
