    WOW! OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! Your hands must have been made with the pureness of crystaline water!

    Your art is unbelievable! *falls down* *wakes up* *stares at the falcon and at the Rayquaza pic for weeks

    Keep going, FG!

    Wow, thanks everyone! :D It's always such a joy to come here and find such wonderful comments! *huge hugs for you all!*

    A dragon is certainly an interesting idea! I love dragons so I will definitely consider it ^^ I'm working on another big oekaki at the moment and it's going to my satisfaction so far! :) So after that I might think about drawing a dragon for you all!

    I'll definitely dedicate it to all the wonderful members of PC if I do! :D

    Wow, thanks for the comments everyone! *huggles!* ^_^

    You may have been wondering what I've been working on in the time being...I've been working on another big oekaki :) Unfortunately safety saving it didn't work so I've uploaded it to another oekaki so I can finish it off later. But I thought I'd show you it in progress. So here's my picture of a peacock, half-done! XD (the original reference photo again comes from the very kind Brett B!)

    Hope you like! :) I can't wait to get this finished! XD

    Would anyone here be interested if I recorded myself talking about how I approach oekakis? :) I can try that if you think it'd help!

    You did that peacock?? You're amazing, I just need to stare to you!

    Just a thingie, aren't you thinking of evolving? You can't remain a Grovyle forever! And you have enough experience to evolve!!! Just a lil' joke to raises up the feelings!

    Please, talk with us and tell us how you approach oekakis!

    Okay, I know I'm exagerating a bit but those pics <(all you made until know)> are awesome!

    FG, your art never cease to amaze me.

    I love how you can make a transition from cel-shaded Pokemon and to photorealistic animal oekakis and back again. Ok, that sentence didn't make sense. Sorry about that. But what I mean is that you have the skill to both do such things. It'll be years before I reach that level of skill that you currently have...and that's why the oekaki is one of my major digital art place thingers.

    Keep it up! :)

    lol I sound leik a sukup lawl

    Edit: as for showing how you do it...maybe a tutorial using the animated PaintBBS?

    Wow, so many responses! :D Thanks so much everyone! *huggles* ^_^ Here are my replies!

    Cy: Hehe, thanks so much! Your comment makes me giggle XD I hope I can get this one finished! I might draw a smaller oekaki to tide me over in the meantime :) I think I need a little break from this one as it's a bit time-consuming!

    QFred: hehe! Perhaps when I reach the age of 32 I should change my name to Forest Sceptile! XD It might be a novel idea to do that sometime! :) I'll think about what I'd like to say in my recording - are there any questions you'd like me to answer?

    Blazin Espio: Thanks so much! :D I'm so glad you like it! ^_^ *hugs!*

    Pok?-Munna: Thank you! The head was the first part I drew ^_^ It was probably the part that was the most fun to draw, too! So I'm so glad you like it! :D

    Yami's Girl: Awwwww, thanks! You are great too! *huggles right back!* I'm so glad you like the picture! ^____^

    Dardanel: Wow! What a compliment! *blush* Thanks so much! It means a lot to me that you think that of my drawing! ^_^

    kygore trainer: hehe, a very precise rating! :D Thanks! That's such a sweet compliment! ^__^ I really appreciate it!

    FNA: I'm going to probably record myself giving oekaki hints and tips ^_^ Layers weren't really much of an issue in this pic as they have been in others :) There's no real "background" to speak of so I just did the head and neck on the foreground and the tail on the background ^_^

    Housyasei-san: Thanks so much! :D Hehe, yeah I love to vary my art styles! ^_^ I think I'm on an oekaki kick at the moment! It's just such a fun program to use! I would do a tutorial using animated, but my oekakis take so long that the animation program won't work :( It doesn't like long oekakis (ones that take at least a week) so it wouldn't send them in animation mode...sorry about that! >_<

    If anyone has any questions they'd like me to answer if I record myself, I'd be happy to try and answer them! :)
