Artist reply:

Thank you. I'll think of a canon character request from you. Busy with my new art, but I will let you know.

You're bulletin made me sad. Don't give up on contests just because you don't place in them. It doesn't mean your work isn't good enough, but tons of people enter those things, and lots of excellent work doesn't win anything. So try not to feel bad. ^^

I looked at your bulletin on contests, and I can understand your feelings. When I first joined here, for a looong time I didn't really win contests. It made me feel absolutely frustrated that all the "good" artists kept getting all of the recognition. I didn't win the prizes.

But one thing that did happen when I entered contests was that my art got noticed. I was able to connect with more and more people the more contests I entered, because while it's fun to draw for yourself, others pay more attention when you draw on a subject they're connected to. Some of my very first fans came through contest participation. Plus, if you keep entering and drawing, you'll get better. I know it won't feel like that at all, but if you keep on doing it and look back like a few months later, you can see the improvement. That happened to me. I try to see contests not as something to necessarily win at, but a challenge to get me to draw something I normally wouldn't.

The frustration will never go away. I've recently become frustrated that I can never even place in the site-wide contest, though I work really hard on my entries and I'm proud of them. But at the end of the day, it is *my* art, and if I'm proud of it, that's all that matters. So don't give up! There is only progress from here. :)

(I think your art is very nice, by the way. I love the designs of Motsumi and Rwandi--they are very canon-like and subtle in their unique differences. Those kinds of designs are my favorite.)

Artist reply:

I really should get back into drawing lions and steer away from my naga characters on other sites.

But thank you for the compliment. I tried to make Motsy canon in appearance, and I guess it just happened with her sister and mother as well. I have yet to draw their father.

It's a long story really. You can e-mail me and I can tell you what I did.

Hi there! I'm glad I've stumbled onto your gallery, cause I'm loving your work so far! You have an interesting style I haven't seen much of! :D *faves*

Howdy. :D
We can trade, if you like.
What do you want me to draw for you? <3

Edit: I'd like to try my hand at drawing Hokina, if that's okay with you. <3 And maybe, in return, you could just draw Scar for me? xD My fursona is epic fail in her development right now. D:

Artist reply:

You can draw one of my fursonas if you'd like. Or if you'd rather have a canon trade I can do that to. If canon, you can draw Sarabi or Nala. But it's up to you for whichever you prefer ^_^

Edit: Sure. I can draw Scar for you. And I'd love it if you drew Hokina. She's my favorite fursona right now.

Congrats! You got 2nd place for my "Mate for Artemis" contest!
I will not use your character as Artemis' mate but you do win the 2nd place prizes! The prizes were 2 character requests. Let me know what you would like for a new character and I'll get right to it! C:
Thanks again for entering!!

I'm still figuring out how this site works, so here goes my comments. Nice artwork you got here, very sweet. :)

Thanks for adding me to your favorite artists, and I look forward to seeing your entry in my Kingdom Hearts contest. I have a feeling you've a soft spot for Marluxia. Am I right?

Artist reply:

Thank you very much for the kind comment.

But yes, yes I do have a soft spot for Marluxia. He's my favorite Organization member.

Artist reply:

I like TLKFAA.

I'd love to do a trade with you. I'm always up for trades.

Your art style is cute. I like it.

Edit: I can do that for you. Might be Friday at the latest when I get it colored. I'll get it sketched tonight. Maybe you can try Motsumi for me? She's in my original characters folder.

18. Siren (e-mail) (profile)
Heyy!!! You have a very nice gallery and your style is very original x3
I noticed your requests were open-do you think I could possibly request a picture of my fursona, Siren? SirenReferance.jpg

If not I understand x3 figured it wouldn't hurt to ask!

Artist reply:

I'd love to draw her for you. She is gorgeous. Your art style is way better than mine. But I will try my best on her for you.

If you ever want to do a trade sometime also, I'd love that.

Yep. Right in the middle of nowhere. Close enough to West Virginia that I can still make jokes about it.

OMG! It's YOU! (if you don't remember, you recently commented on my Marluxia picture telling me his eyes were dark blue) Anywhoo, that pic u commented on? Yeah, I was originally gonna enter it into ur contest about the Organization, but I was 2 stupid 2 look at when the contest ended! So sorry nobody else entered!
But, they just don't apreciate Organization XII! I do! I'm obsessed with Kingdom Hearts! :D

BTW I luv ur pics! Especially the Organization XIII Pics!

Reply: I will enter! I'll enter that pic and maybe a new one! I have one ready! :D

Artist reply:

I'm redoing the Organization XIII contest, ending it on my birthday so hopefully I'll get people this time.

You can still enter that pic, or you can enter something new. I never enter my own contests.

22. Maxwell Demon (e-mail) (profile)
Hey. I saw your bulletin and to be honest an art trade is exactly what I'm looking for as well :D I have reached a block (sigh) and a trade would be wonderful!
If you are up for it, could you possibly draw my fursona, Maxwell? Feel free to jazz her up a bit if you want ^_^
Let me know what you would like me to draw for you, if you would like to do a trade <3

xxx

Artist reply:

I hope you don't mind my style with Maxwell ^^; But I'll draw her ASAP for you.

I'd love to do a trade truthfully. Could you draw Motsumi for your half?

23. Rudolf The Red-Nosed LIONESS (e-mail) (profile)
hi there! i saw that you said you needed art trades, and you said you "knew you aren't the best artist out there" or something, but i would love to do an art trade with you! i think you are a pretty good artist!
if you do want to do a trade, could you draw my character Rudolf (also doubles as my fursona) doing something with another canon character? you can pick. let me know what you think i should draw!

Artist reply:

Would it be alright if I drew Rudolf with Nala or someone like that? She's easy enough for me to draw ^^; But I'll get my half started ASAP.

If possible, do you think you can draw Motsumi or her sister Rwandi for me?

24. Pinkyu (e-mail) (profile)
Eee,Pinks saw Sumi's bulletin,and and and would luv to trade with the awesome Suminess 8D <3
If Suminess agrees,then Pinks wud like to know who does she needs to draw 4 Sumi X3

Btw,Really Awesome gallery m'dear,keep it up~ ^3^

Edit: Youre welcome *hug*,aand Yay! :D Eee,you may do any of my characters,you pick the one you want to C:

Ookay then,gonna get my half up ASAP~ ouo <3

Artist reply:

Thank you Pinkyu. I'd love to do a trade with you, and of course I'd love to see what you want me to do for you.

As for me, maybe you could try Motsumi for me? She's not that complicated, generic brown lioness with green eyes. Or one of my other lionesses. You can pick.

20:47 Wed 2/18/2009
25. Danae (e-mail) (profile)
Hi Sumi! I saw your bulliten, I would LOVE to do a Character Trade with you! If you would like to just let me know XD!

Edit: Alright! So basically you want a female? I would like a lioness that could be Turag's mother. I don't have a ref for him yet but I'm drawing him as I'm writing this so I'll have pic of him soon enough XD

If you do tell what you would like your character to look like! :)

Btw, your artwork is great keep it up^^

Artist reply:

Edit: I can draw Turag's mother for you, no problem. I'll check back for your ref for him so I can get an idea for her. Females are easier for me to draw, manes aren't that easy for me yet.

You can pick either Motsumi or Rwandi for your half. Or whoever you want :)

Hi, there. I have a character that you used to have, and i do not have the ref. HEre's her info stuff:


midnight glory
Created by: Sumi
Adopted from: black hope
she is the daughter of damion. she is the mate of dark doom. she now has 2 sons.
Previous owner's reference picture: PantherKomic.jpg

I'm adding her to my comic so i need her ref. I'm making up my own for now. if you could re-upload the pic, or send it to my email, it would be greatly appreciated.

Lizeera

Thank you. her temporary design is half normal coloring and half black coloring. I only drew her back so far.

Artist reply:

I will. I apologize for getting rid of her picture, but when I get it up again I will email it to you.

Artist reply:

I can do that. I'm sorry for not making it a trade, but if you want to at some point I'll be glad to. I'm still leery. And I'm still lacking auto approval so I'll get them done, but might not be up for awhile.

Hi there! So you won second place in my contest, you should let me know what you'd like as your prize, or I can come up with something on my own. You get a full pic with background and as many characters as you want. Congrats and thanks for playing :)

Edit: Second Place is nothing to be ashamed of, and really you get the same prize as first so I can say that you you and the other person that entered my contest both won first. ;) I thought you did an excellent job and you worked hard at it, so the hands aren't your downfall, they are just another necessary part of being an artist. Your art will get better over time if you keep at it and stop with the negative talk. You're still learning, think of it as another challenge that will ultimately help you get better. You have a lot of potential and your art has already improved since you started here, just keep at it :)

Artist reply:

Second is better than nothing right? I knew the hands and feet would be my downfall...

If possible do you think you can try Motsumi with Gardenia, Dahlia and Sume? Well them as cubs since they don't interact much when they're grown. If not I can pick something else.

Hi again,

about the adoptable, I'm sorry you couldn't use her for the same purpose as Kizuri, but, I hope you still have a place for her. You may switch her gender if you like, if it would be moremappropriate for you :)

Artist reply:

I figured that's what happened when I didn't see her up there anymore. I didn't have time to draw more than one picture and I don't have auto approval so that has me at a major disadvantage.

I'll keep an eye out for your other character though.

Hi im soo sorry i havent got bak to u in like a month.i have been snowed under in course work and my computer/scanner have been on the blink. anyway could u please draw me my character Jua. i would really love that. thank you soo much im really greatfull xxx
Edit:thank you so much dont worry anything u do will be great i dont mind what u do with her! thankyou
editedit:no problem whenever is fine

Artist reply:

Sure. I'll draw Jua for you. If anything is off about her, like toes or tailtuft, stuff like that I apologize ahead of time. But I'll start sketching her now. I have the next three days off so I will get it done for you.

Edit: You're welcome. I'll try to get done tonight and uploaded by tomorrow morning or afternoon at the latest.

Edit II: My computer has been on the fritz, and once again openCanvas hates me so I have to find another drawing program. But I will get her done for you. I'm sorry for the wait.

Congratulations Sumi!
U came 1st in m "Fav Song" contest.
U get 3 request.
Thanks for entering the contest *hugs*

ps.I aplolgise about the miss spelling our laptop broke a bit -_-'

Artist reply:

*Hugs back* I didn't want to tell anyone really, until it was at the safe point. I had a hint with my secondary fursona though. Didn't mean to make you nearly scream.

And it's Congrats or congratulations. As for names, I was thinking of Javier (don't know why it sounds cool) or Kirin.

Edit: It's easier when it's a boy right? I like Kirin myself.
