# About me
Anything is possible...except skiing through a revolving door.I fancy myself an artist and a writer at times. I spend my time working on a webcomic, Ventus , and drawing critters being crittery. If I'm not doing that, then its hiking or heading to the lake, or inside avoiding the snow at all costs buried in blankets and drinking coco, depending on the season.
Current Residence: Colorado
Lately I'm most active on Tumblr or Twitter

Your work is inspired and wonderful I cannot believe Iβve not seen it before today.
Iβd like to see more ancient griffin and monsters of legends.

Hi! I found your work while doing the regular search for mustelids. Not sure how, because I didn't find it under the usual tags, so it must be a hidden gem! I'm delighted with how spot-on the characteristics are, and I personally think we need more stories that offer insight to animals with an undeserved reputation. Mustelids aren't too well-known, either.
Thank you so much for joining the groups and for the watch- I'm truly honoured and I'll be eagerly waiting for more mink art from you. I've also grown fond of watercolours in general- it seems to breathe through the layers and give pleasant results most of the time.

Oh, thanks very much!Β I was a bit concerned when I started working on mine, that people wouldn't find it relate-able as its meant to be a realistic tragedy, and not some happy sappy outright condemnation of fur farms, where the animals escape and live happily ever after, so this is good to hear Β Drawing minks is super fun, though. Its the writing part that's killing me XD
I'm equally honored, I'm sure, your art is lovely! Your piece, When Bolt Holes Become Gaping Mouths,Β reminded me of the art you see on book covers like Watership Down, Tailchaser's Song, The Kine Saga (also a story about mustelids, weasels mostly I believe) and the like, those old classic animal books. And your grasp of lighting and color is inspiring. I look forward to seeing more of your workΒ

I'm doing the same thing with stoats (more or less), and it's like a rollercoaster ride from doubt to belief repeating itself over and over.
Some will like it, being for the realism, the honesty, the characters, the flow or something else. I'd be willing to give it a go, for all the reasons mentioned. What keeps me going is how the facts excite me and the idea of the characters starring in a story of their own.Β
I can relate to the ''sappy'' aspect. At this point things are rather grim, as they often are in nature, but I hope to find a few lighter moments to balance it with. Something positive, like, if the characters have some values or whatever keeps them going.Β
That piece turned out to be something special, and it inspires me to keep a high standard.Β I'm positively surprised that so many people liked it as much as I do! I've only recently discovered the magic of how colour and lighting works, so I'm glad it shows and even more happy that it's inspiring to others.Β
Your praise means a lot to me in that regard; IΒ have read most of those books, by the way- they were gifts, or I bought them myself. They give me an idea of where to go, what has been written before, and what to avoid. The covers are often stunning and detailed and are reminiscent of an epic movie done in the style of fine art paintings.Β
And ditto- see you around. : )

Thanks very much ^^ Unfortunately, I don't have a great deal of spare time for personal art, so I'm not to sure I could manage art for a contest at the moment, sorry :/ It does sound fun, however, so I wish you good luck with it ^^

no problem Hey, do you have a specific character at all? I'm always up for a challenge (normally a paid one... but I don't mind the occasional freebie... I enjoy art )

SargassosArt In reply to Tank50us [2013-04-05 01:43:57 +0000 UTC]
You know, I don't really have a specific character anymore o.O Once upon a blue moon ago I used a reddish wolfbeast that this account was named for, but I haven't drawn her in years, I kind of forgot she existed Most of the characters I have now are just characters in the book I'm working on
Apologies for the delayed response, as well

that's alright, no worries On a separate topic, is there any chance I can get your thoughts on a couple pieces (critiques)? (the pics in question: "Womens Beach" [link] "Always Remembering under the Morning Star" [link] and "Fiona on the Beach" [link] )

Hey, you have a very interesting gallery, to me it seems that you draw whatever you feel like and are not stuck by trying to keep to a certain style.
Just super cool, thanks for creating awesome art!
