OK, look, I am really busy over here, and I like drawing, but I just don't have the time to draw your Pathfinder requests. I am sorry about it, I really am, but please don't ask me. There are plenty of other artists out there willing to do it for a low fee. Have a nice day...
I thought I nationalized you!
[Checks identification papers]
Do you have permission to be outside of your assigned "Reeducation-Through-Labor" camp?
No? I thought not.

Back to the salt mine, you scurvy dog!

Look, Burgomeister, I don't see why you are attacking me here. I just want to make it clear to everyone that I won't drawing their Pathfinder requests. That's all. I thought I was doing you all a favor.
Your mother called. She was worried that you were lost. You are hereby summoned back to the Phantom Zone a/k/a her uterus. I did not perform my proscribed duties.
I am ashamed with myself.
<gurgle>
What?
how about non-pathfinder requests, like wod requests?
I would have to say no to that too...

That's not what your mother said. Hoo-ha!

I can't believe you said that! The only thing I was attempting to do was to let everyone know that I cannot draw their Pathfinder requests. That's it! However, because of just trying to communicate with all of you, my own mother gets verbally attacked! My mother has nothing to do with this!
LEAVE HER ALONE!!!

Yeah guys, lay off Leafar's mum.
She's a classy lady.
Yeah, I got off your mom. Gnarly gnarlingtons. Lost her on the way out the door.

EDIT: Check out that subtle disco guitar!
There go Leafar's greasy mama.
To work at Denny's wiping pancakes on her forehead.
Hey, cool! May I not do art request in here too?
:)
What?I love your user name and avatar.
Um, kay.
Another failed attempt by Leafar. Someday he will get it right.
Never! Get to work!Hey, cool! May I not do art request in here too?
:)
Awwww....
I have been drawing! Have you seen my paper minis?
You have been VERY bus, that's a lot of fantastic work in there!

You too!
Oh and by the way I have been trying to upload my sketchbook. I will post a link for you when I do.

And is this a non-FB link?
Yes I have and I am waiting till I have the money to purchase a few.
Yes I was trying to figure a way to get my deviant art account to work, for some reason it hates me

We need to have a Jack paper mini fund drive!
And I am so-so on deviantart, the site controls annoy me sometimes. I have not uploaded anything for a while, probably should.

I wish I had the problem of not being able to take illustration requests, but I can't seem to give my art away :(Link to some samples, so that we can make an informed choice to whether we like you not to draw our art requests!
Major love for the Rock & Rule quote in the profile, btw.
The reason for the aforementioned statement was due to the fact a 3rd party publisher (who shall remain un-named) told me I would be better served by taking up brain surgery and leave the art to those with talent. I realize that not everyone is going to care for my scratchings, but it gets tiring hearing it time and again.

Sounds like someone was a grumpy-pants. There's useful criticism, and then there's people being unprofessional and b~@~!y.
Your linework is a little rough, and sometimes the eyes look a little creepy (too big, perhaps? I can't put my finger on it. They almost look like real eyes peeking out from behind holes cut in a portrait in a Scooby-Doo sketch, if that makes any sense at all...), but with pictures like Lord Theomen, I can see some Hugo Solis-potential. Keep polishing the stuff, and maybe work on your own interpretations of some genre-specific 'classic' images, like one of the Iconics, or that Hellknight picture, or some beastie, and I think you've got what it takes to step it up.
Your proportions are good, and you don't pose people unnaturally, which automatically puts you a step above some other amateur artists who *do* get published in 3PP.
The perspective on Kazura's spellcasting hand is particularly neat. By comic book/fantasy-art standards, she's got sausage fingers, but fantasy art is almost always a *bit* unrealistic, anyway, drawing women's fingers as tapering from the hand to the nail, even when the artist isn't Rob-Liefield-levels-of-clueless about female anatomy.

Thanks for the critique! I'll keep your suggestions in mind. Ha ha, I know what you mean about Liefield levels of cluelessness about anatomy!
That's a great observation about Kazura's hands btw, and I'm proud that there's some "sausageness" to them because Kazura is a halfling (she's got stunty toes too!)-just the look I was going for :)
I'll keep drawing, and as you aptly pointed out, my line work is pretty rough, but then again that section of the website is meant to show the rough stuff- my problem has been, and continues to be ink and color (and it doesn't help that I'm colorblind either!), and I want to aim for more "completed" pieces.
I have been drawing! Have you seen my paper minis?You have been VERY bus, that's a lot of fantastic work in there!Wait 'til you see my Rune Giants, I just finished them!
(And where's my froggie paper mini reviews!)
:)
As soon as I buy them! I'm running CotCT right now :)
Here one that I won't draw...almost :P
