Big thank you to :devElandria: for featuring my Cloud brush set! That's both of my brush sets featured as DD now :)
I've been wanting to create a new brush set for some time now because of the success & feedback I've had from these sets but don't really know what to make. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
Also thank you to all who fav my sets, as before with my brushes I unfortunately wont be able to thank you all individually but I really do appreciate it.

Sorry...

I've let my messages stack up a bit over the last few months as I have only been dropping in every now and then. I am going to try and reply now but I have a 100 or so to get through so it may take me a bit.

Current Journal Feature

It really is time I got a new feature so at some point I will be collecting some work to feature here. It will probably be composed of a mix of personal favorites from around deviant art, thumbshare work and work of those who have donated to me.

This is a crop of a piece I'm currenly working on called 'The Dreamcatcher'.
Its 4200x6720px.. My computer dislikes this :) It's coming along quite nicely though and has given me an idea for a new brush set. Speaking of which-

Website & Resources

I'm currently working on a number of brush-sets, textures & tutorials, some of which I intend to upload here and some I intend to upload to my website once it is complete.

I already have a free website which is more or less complete but its not that great.

So, not updated this since my birthday in July. I don't think anyone cares but I'm bord so I figured I'd update with some stuff thats going on for me atm;

Just enrolled on an online digital arts basics course at Digital Art Academy... Slightly concerned by the lack of activity there now though. Anyone know anything about it?
It was only £30ish (plus overseas transaction charge) so I don't care if its not the best course in the world.. but I'd be pee'd off if it was completely bogus and I got nothing from it.

I now have hair like this:

I thought it would be more effort (ie take longer to look passable) but I actually got out of bed this morning and didn't even need to brush it (Yes I'm lazy and I don't care :))

I have come to the conclusion that my Muse has a spilt personality; I can go for weeks, sometimes months with no inspiration and little or no desire to draw and then out of no where I get a ton of ideas and (because I have no discipline) I end up trying to do them all at once and fail to complete anything.

For example, for a week or two I couldn't think of any ideas and didn't do a single bit of art then I randomly start drawing and come up with this:

Which I am quite pleased with (despite it being unfinished and very hard to do on account of my sucking at trees).
