cherie: Thanks for coming by, I really appreciate your comment, as always.
chirpy7: Thank you! Lots of practice and observation is the key.
The Marching Mudokon: Hi! Thanks for your comments, that's so nice! I usually don't post my art here so much, but I post a bunch of it on deviantart at firesprite.deviantart.com . There will be more recent updates there.
sliguy101: Well, as I plan to be a concept artist for a living, it's not so much about how much time I have on my hands as it is using time I have to practice, learn and create art (when I'm not feeling lazy, that is!). Art is both a hobby and a potential career, so I spend a lot of time on it.
