it would be a really good thing to see you at AC next year if you could make
it. I really enjoyed meeting you at that one con (can`t remember which one
offhand) and look foward to being lucky enough to get another con sketch
someday.
As far as the new pic you posted.It`s nice.But in my opinion,it may be a
little bit too realistic for my tatses .(espiciallly if it took you so
long ) But I am glad you`ve reached a point where you`re reaching your
artistic goals instead of being frustrated.
