Foreword:
This will be moved to scraps (I have alot more to do to it) but I wanted to post it and say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who offered me good words last night and today. I almost trashed this last night because it wasnt' good enough and it sucked so bad. But instead I just went to bed with all your words still floating around in my nioggin. I woke up this morning, feeling much better but still a tad down. The added words and encouragement and advice helped a great deal and I was able to push forward and relax enoguh to see what I wanted and start working for it. This will be a picture I push myself on, but not too hard adn when I get doubtful I'll remember where I've been and keep movign forward. I'll make this a tribute to all of you and your faith in me.
Thank you friends.

I have a serious striped stocking fetish. It's just HAWT.
Anyway, Alikura(AKA Tigress) is part wolf. I've always had this duel nature, the canine and the feline. The wolf has cropped up in my interactions just as strongly as the tiger at times. The dragon is also a familiar, but one that's a bit less connected and certainly not as positive. I've decided to make it official with the canine influence however, so everyone knows it. =) So, to point that out, I'm drawing her canine side.
This is based off a photo of myself. I love those arm warmers <3

Lookin' good... don't go too hard on yourself... sure it's cliche, but practise does make perfect, we are our own worst critics, etc.
Dunno if you're having anatomy problems or what, but this is a good site for general tips and stuff:

for what it's worth, I like the pic thus far... I especially love a girl who can kick my ass :P Don't give up on it, let's see it finished :)

Hey thanks! I havn't been to Polykarbon in a long time. I'd forggoten about the place. I'll definately have to go through som eof the tutorial shtere for some of the stuff I'm doing. Thanks!
I'm afraid I was extremly generous to my true form. I'm not that buff and no that thick, but it's not too bad. When I finish this I'll be posting it with the the original image of myself it was based off if you care to see how it compares. =)

Thank you, and thank you for helping to reasoning with me to not be such a quitter. *hugs* Oh, and I certainly have NOT forgotten about getting a special picture drawn up for you. With your writting skill my little head is just filled with wonderful images. >=3 that will be somethign special for you though so email will work best for that communication. ^.^
Seriously, though, I can't see any way that this drawing isn't great. You know what you were trying for, so perhaps you see where this falls short of your vision for the piece. But others can only see it for what it is in itself. And what it is in itself is great.
Somebody once wrote, or told me, or something, that as a writer I have to believe two things at once. I have to believe my work is the greatest piece of art ever created, and at the same time I have to believe it is trash, trivial, banal, amateurish. If I can't believe it's great, I'll never have the nerve to let others see it and to try to promote it. If I don't believe it's horrible, I'll never work to improve it, and I'll be devastated, angry, and bitter (even more so than I am now) when others don't instantly Recognize My Genius.
I am no artist. I could just about draw two parallel lines if you gave me a ruler. But I would imagine that the visual arts are the same way. We all have to believe, at the same time, what we create is great and is nothing. No wonder we're so crazy as we are!
But that self-critical side can keep us from putting stuff out there from which others would get a lot of enjoyment. Hey, if anybody else would have any fun with my work at all, I should let them see it. That's how I feel. And messed up as we are about our own work, maybe we don't even KNOW what parts of it are good and which are bad. Just have to try things and see, I guess.

I do belive I agree with you. =) Very wise words and so true.
That duality is what kills me. Finding the ballance is what's so tiring. I've not yet found it and every time I go too far off on one tangent or another it takes quite a bit of effort to find my center again, but when I find it things are usually a bit clearer, as they are now. =)
I certainly cannont downplay the importance of good friend and what my fatehr coined "Good and wise counsel" as far as findnig my center again. =)
As for you being in trouble *grins* That's only if you really want to be.
