OH MY GOSH I WAS TRYIN' TO BE SNEAKY WITH MY TAGGING IN MY UPLOAD (IDK IF I SUCCESSFULLY DIDN'T TAG YOU) SO YOU WOULDN'T FEEL PRESSURED TO REPLY AGAIN BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TAXING IT CAN BE TO WRITE COMMENTS AND STUFF BUTYou have no idea how happy I am to hear that x___x.. The overwhelming support I have gotten for this painting is just FRIGGIN CRAZY I AM JUST DYING RIGHT NOW. The reason I am saying that is because I am really feeling for you when you mention you don't want to render stuff forever and in general just want to be more lax with what you upload I guess?? This piece is kinda that for me. It is proof that I don't need to render stuff forever for someone else to like what I make besides myself (I honestly most of the time can't care less about rendering everything - as long as the image is(still not sure what this means tho but working on it) and gets the idea across, then I want to stop, GOOD ENOUGH.. but I couldn't make myself stop because of pressure I guess, because I was convinced more detailed rendering=better drawing.I absolutely hated to render stuff out forever. I absolutely hated drawing ever since I started digital the past 2 years. BUT THIS DRAWING HAS CHANGED THAT FOR ME. I just want to THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME THE ENERGY AND INSPIRATION TO MAKE IT FOR YOU. The moment I saw you on AF I was just "OH BOI PALU IS OKAY WITH GETTING HER CHARACTERS DRAWN BY RANDOM FANS,!". I realize the amount of intricate detail in your characters is a big part of your style that I personally LOVE, but I firmly believe that there should be a way to still keep it through imitation without you needing to feel like a slave to rendering your work. If there is a way for you to be more free and have more fun, then I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO FOR IT AND FIND THE WAY because THIS PAINTING I MADE IS PROOF OF IT BEING POSSIBLE.IDK if anything I said here even connects with you but I figured that IF it does help in some way then it was worth writing it down and risk sounding like a complete dummy in the case that it didn't dajkrhksdsdgsdTHAT RANT/SPEECH ASIDE... You're incredibly welcome, you have no idea X.X Thank you so much for letting me draw Liaorune and in general being so kind to me and everything ;__; YOU'LL HAVE TO TRY VERY HARD FOR ME TO NOT LOVE YOUR WORK BECAUSE YOUR VISION AND IDEAS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, AND I SEE THEM SHINING THROUGH NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU CHOOSE TO RENDER OUT YOUR WORKS.
