Recently there is a lot of traffic in my account and I've been trying to reply to messages as much us I could. Trust me, I read all the comments and messages I receive here in deviantART. But I am really a busy person too, so please understand. This might be trivial to others but I just want to say that I appreciate all negative and positive comments. But I can't reply to them all. So if you compliment me, thank you but the chances that I will reply to your compliment is slim. But if you criticize my work, that is a different story. I will reply to criticisms because these are the of the most important comments I need to improve my art. So if you want to criticize my work, please, you are much more welcome to do so.

So to summarize it all:
If you compliment my work don't expect a reply but I assure you you have my thanks in spirit.
If you criticize my work, don't worry. I won't hold it against you, though I would reply by asking specifics about what is wrong with my work. You are encouraged to criticize me all you want because I need them to improve my arts.

Thank you and once again, please enjoy my works.

Hi there everyone! Ok, some of you may know this already but I've been getting many suggestions and requests for commissions this year. I turned all of them down because I want to improve my art first until I am satisfied. And now that I am confident enough with my level of art, I'll be starting to take commission orders. I'll just be setting up my paypal account and stuff then I will be starting business.

The money I earn through this would be used to buy my dream tablet. All my works are drawn entirely by mouse only and it would really help me a lot if I could buy the tablet I am dying to use. I know it is a long  shot but my target earnings is $2800. I'll make sure to always give my best in drawing much more awesome artworks!

Below is my commission price list and instructions. I'll be starting cheap so the first customers should be lucky.
