Well, I'm glad you have a sense of humor about the whole thing. **puts first aid kit away**
Like I said, to each her own... I have a fanfic style that's fueled by redemption; like I want to finish two fics inspired by Simba's Pride and Scamp's Adventure - two heinously bad sequels to their great originals. I make up my own spinoff, with Disney's version as a faint template, to "redeem" the nasty story that the "officials" made up. Then I don't really care about the real sequels anymore, 'cause I know I have my own, and I know they're loads better. ~_^
Btw, great art! I know it'd take me ages to shade that third one - how long did it take you? I'm not the best at humans OR shading - mostly simple line drawings of animals (if you look at my Chinese Fireball on the thread below you'd see what I mean).
Another btw - what are your aliases, like on the AL Forum? Just curious.
