Did you sell your soul to the fallen angel named Lucifer Morninstar for your drawin talents? If so please give me his email adress, phone number, and yahoo username!

Hehe - if I sold my soul, I hope I'd be a lot better than I am! ^_^

Really, I'm proof that anyone can learn to draw. You just have to be really stubborn, and make yourself continually strive to get better. I'm still a long way off what I want to be able to do, and I still struggle with everything I draw, but if you're honest with yourself about your weaknesses, and actually try to work on them, you should keep getting better.

Heya, cheers for the nice comment! I've been getting into SLA Industries of late and my friend (and GM) suggested I had a look at your artwork for some inspiration and ideas as to how people percieve the World of Progress. So I was pretty happy to see some great SLA-based stuff and some really beautiful work beyond that - the khepri pic is stunning, makes me want to give China Miéville a go.

Wow, I'm kinda humbled that someone would point you at my art for SLA inspiration, but I'm glad you liked what you saw. And you should absolutely check out some China Miéville (start with Perdido Street Station if you can - it's the best introduction to his world). He has a great talent for making things that should be silly (women with bugs for heads or hedgehog-men riding giant roosters, for example) into just plain strange, but familiarly strange. His descriptions of things just make you want to draw them - I expect to see your own rendition of a khepri at some point in the future! ^_^
