Hey Tim,  thank you so very much for the watch.  Truly appreciated. :) (Smile)
Wow your art is simply astounding sometimes I wish I 
can draw like that!! Welcome to Deviantart
Thank you so much. That is very high praise. I am so flattered. With time, practice, and study you yourself could become truly great. I know it. When it comes to art, you get what you put into it. So, the more time and dedication you have towards it, the better you will be. I heard an animator once say that everyone has 1 million bad drawings in them. The difference between a master and a student is that the master has gotten those awful drawings out of their system. The student has not tried as many times as the master has failed. It takes a lot of bad drawings to get to the good ones. You should see all of the mistakes I've made and all the unused art I have. Either way, thank you so much for your kind words and I wish you the best of luck in whatever you try to do whether it is art or not.
