I would forgo hair completely if I used the anubis skin or just use Dyten's hair as it all falls behind the avatar.

[TurtleSensei]

I kinda like this hair! I'm heading home for the night. Talk to you later this week! I'll be online a bit more since I have a LONG weekend!

[DarkForbidden-Love]

[littl3chocobo]

the one made from the exel saga cover art, did you use a base or did you steal it directly because of all of them that one bothers me most and i want to know how i should bitch out

[TurtleSensei]

@littl3chocobo: what picture made from Excel Saga cover art? I don't even read Excel Saga. So no I didn't steal the cover art. A lot of other manga artists have probably used the same exact pose sometime in the last 30 years. I mean no "pose" can be copyrighted, otherwise models could be sued every time that they did a photoshoot.

I draw using the manga as pose references the same as you do using pictures. And yes, I end up having it look a lot like the original style, but I am good at copying styles. I used to know a girl who could copy a famous painting or drawing almost perfectly. Even our Art Teacher had trouble telling that she didn't trace! Until he watched her draw that is, then he was amazed!

But seriously, you obviously have a problem with me. Why do you keep coming back in my shop? I've already admitted that YES, I use manga pages as reference. But I usually draw up a scale from a super small pose that I see in a manga that I own. Or I draw DOWN a scale from a super huge 2 page spread. Or even from posters I have. And yeah, I use photographs as references too the same as you do.

Ah and another thing, sometimes people will send me a pose reference and say that the want it to look as much like the original pose as possible, I then try my hardest to make it look as much as the original pose as I can. I don't know what Excel Saga is (seriously I've never read it) but it may be that someone out there who's ordered from me has requested art to look exactly like an Excel Saga picture. And I apologize if this offends you that I can copy art work like that, but I assure you that merely copying a pose and tracing are TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS!

Please do not come back in my shop again, as I am sick and tired of explaining myself to you. You are obviously angry that I draw better than you.

Hey thar hunny! Is everyone here or something?

You busy right now or are you good for taking commissions?

[TurtleSensei]

@Asami: Hey there! I'm so glad that you joined! Isn't this place cool? I LOVE the items and avis!

@Nexess: I am busy at the moment. I am finishing some art for some people and then I will be open again. Shall I PM you when I am open for commissions?

@Everyone: Sorry your art is so late! With the Holiday Season the Pharmacy has been messing up my medication orders. I have Crohn's Disease and I am on Anti-Inflammatory medication for it. When I don't take it I get very sick. Stomach pain, getting sick to my stomach and Diarrhea (yeah I know EW!). So I ended up missing some work and just laying around at home with a heating pad on my stomach. The heat seems to help!

I am better now though as my Doctor has put a Permanent Refill order on my medicine so hopefully this won't happen again!

[TurtleSensei]

I'm so glad that you like it! I wish I hadn't been sick so I knew what the heck was going on! lol Oh well! I'll eventually get the hang of what's going on! I like the being able to collect rations, but does anyone know what they're FOR?!

[Asami]

Aahhh! Thank you for the clarification! I plan on trying to set up a pre-paid WiFi internet with Cricket this month but I live in the COuntry and I'm not sure if they reach out here. Hopefully they do so I can be online more!
