I'm back! Temporarily, of course, as always. With work and stuff--- painting is mucho difficult. But...

I'm sure many people wonder how digital artists do the work they do. So... I recorded one of my painting sessions for a piece I will shortly be releasing for Halloween. It's a black and white, which is how many professional artists, traditional and digital alike, start their work. My methods are less conventional in that I don't start with washes or anything, but work as I go. You will need OpenCanvas to view the event file, so make sure to atleast download the trial.

If anyone is wondering where I disappeared to:

I've had ALOT of shit going on in my life preventing me from paiting or even sketching much. I'm constantly busy with projects. I have plans to paint, it's just not time for me to now. I have no time. At all.

I do apologize.

As everyone will immediately notice, I took Keira down.

For everyone who thinks I'm a faker I'd like you to look at the rest of my gallery. I'm a full-time student and don't have time to put together WIPs or tutorials. I do realize how that may seem.

I don't think I'll be putting Keira back up, which is okay. I appreciate the comments, favourites, etcetra and so forth immensely, but it's not life-altering to me. I don't do it for the fans, per say, I paint for me.

For now, I'm going to continue working on an upcoming piece and a traditional sketch.

WTF happened?! Last time I checked I had 130 watchers, now I have 450. Last time I checked Kiera had 20 favourites; now she has over 1,000! WHAT HAPPENED!?

Thank you SO much everyone!!!! I'm STILL in disbelief!

PS. To anyone who is a big Guild Wars fan, if you have interest in playing or talking to me sometime, just send me a note and I'll give you one of my many character names you can reach me at. When I'm not working or painting, I'm playing that.

Upcoming Prints, my latest, as well as a personal update

Due to alot of requests I'll be getting a prints account eventually. I've had requests to buy Natalie Portman as well as Johnny Depp (which I plan to rework, guys).

Second, I'm working on a huge painting right now called "Modern Romance". Stay tuned. I've put about ten hours into it so far. It's beautiful, too. I already have like 4 paintings planned after it.

Third, I'd like to apologize for my lack of activity and response. Usually I respond to every fav and watch but I've been drowning in work. Literally.

Thank you, everyone, for your never-ending support.
