I 'awwwed' pretty hard! This is so sweet, and a great composition. Bear hugs are the best hugs <3

BURR HUGS <3

this came out looking great in both art and sense of uhh... care? i dunno what i am trying to say here.

it looks wonderful sinny

i know what you mean :D

Rachel, I can't thank you enough for this... I was just sitting here feeling pretty mopey when I saw this, and you brought a smile to my face. I loved the original, and now that it's all colored and shaded it is even more amazing. You got all of SW's little details correct, down to the scars and everything. I really like the shades of brown you used, and how you did the fur textures. And I can't say again how awesome it would be to get for real big beetle-bear hugs <3 I can only imagine that bear hugs would be the best, really.
It means so much to me that you took the time to draw me something while I've been so down. Sometimes I forget that people care (stupid right?) and it's nice at times to be reminded. I love you so much, thank you for always being such an amazing friend to me for so many years.

Awe... this is really sweet. <3

thanks :3

This is so flippin cute.. I love the anatomy, coloring, expressions.. very warm and real. I can definitely feel that bear-beetle hug! Great job! <3

Can't stop looking at this... so much love

I'm glad you like it so much, if it looks to dark it might be because i make my monitor as bright as it can go so i probably like shitty on other monitors

It doesn't look dark at all!! I can see all the little details, don't you worry. I gotta draw you somethin new, soon! I am gonna try to work on lots of art when I am in NC this Christmas <3

I AM EXCITE. You don't have to draw for me just case I did for you, unless you want to, no pressure <3

Pffffft I know this!! I've been wanting to draw beetle-bears for a while now ok. Do you have a ref of sorts? If not is ok, I can get what I need from your gallery <3

I'm actually in the middle of working on a ref i'm trying to have one up in a couple of days for Carlas secret Santa thing

damn gurl your coloring is getting better! they look so furry and real <3
