Well bear in mind I work a 5 day week 9-5 (something I wager a lot of dA artists don't do, unless art is their trade), and don't have all the evenings available to draw, a solid piece of art can easily take several weeks to power through, working a couple of hours every few evenings. In the old days, before I worked, a good piece, say something like The Prince of Crows , would take 2/3 days of solid work.I should be submitting a new proper piece (in fact, it might be my best ever in terms of style) within the next couple of evenings; it's a good example of something that's taken a good couple of weeks to get through, on and off.
