Hi. I had found your photo of the Leafy Sea Dragon by searching for Sea Dragon images. But just now, because of your nice thank-you, I took a peek at your gallery, and I just wanted to say that you take the BEST photos of food. As you know, it's hard to make food look appetizing in photos ... but you do it successfully again and again. Brava!

Awesome! Thanks, I'm glad you took the time to browse through my gallery! I strive to make food look amazing and delectable! I hope to go into some form of profession doing it as well! Thanks for the feedback and the good opinions!

Hi again, Vince! β¦It seemed only appropriate for me to send you some Lembas elven shortbread as a way of saying βthanksβ for the βs on my 100+ Elves Project imagesβ¦ [link] And since just one bite of these cookies is supposed to be able to keep a full-grown adult on his or her feet for days (according to Elven loreβ¦), I figure this should tide you over nicely until you can come back and visit me again β lol!
I appreciate the support, sweetie!

You're sweet too. Thanks! I don't know if I really want to be on my feet for days, though. Dreaming is also important! ;-D (Forgive me for being old-fashioned with regard to emoticons ... the animated ones freak me out a little ... at least when I use them!)

Hi again, Vince! I just wanted to officially say thanks for the β¦ I hope that you will always continue to find something new in my gallery of fantastical creatures, beautiful Elf maidens, support stamps, and exotic cookies that catches your eye!

Hello, Vince!
I just wanted to thank you for the on Dragon Tattoo⦠[link] I really appreciate your support and taking the time to browse through my gallery of fantastical creatures and beautiful Elf maidens, strange cookies and support stamps!
As a special "thank you," I am continuing to offer cookies for faves! So enjoy and come back when you're hungry again!
~Ellen
PS: I'd be interested to know how you found my artwork, if you remember... Was it just random browsing, or part of a group, or in someone else's faves? Or maybe you've come to visit me before and I just don't recognize your username/avatar yet?... Just curious

Ellen, thanks. I originally found "Dragon Tattoo" while searching specifically for dragon art. So I've only seen that one image and just now started browsing your gallery after reading this message. I'm pretty new to DA and still learning. Anyway, I'm now watching you ... sounds so stalkerish! Thanks for the cookie! --Vince
P.S. I have this vague memory of some Boris Vallejo image of a woman with a (dragon?) tattoo coming to life. Does that ring a bell?

Thank you so much for the feedback - I really appreciate it! As a token of my gratitude, please accept this carton of dancing milk to go along with your cookie noms!

Was this the Boris image you were thinking of? [link]

Ellen, this message is actually after the one directly below.
I looked through a lot of images and think I must have misremembered this one [link] as being about a tattoo coming alive.
Though you'd think I might have remembered this VERY creepy image with the soap more accurately.

vincegotera In reply to Valedhelven [2011-04-04 21:29:01 +0000 UTC]
No, I know that male one ... the one I'm thinking of was a woman with a tattoo on her leg that's coming alive. Let me google. Back in a minute.

Valedhelven In reply to vincegotera [2011-04-05 04:00:13 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I remember seeing that one before - I love his paintings! Pity he had to die this last year We all lost a great artist...

vincegotera In reply to Valedhelven [2011-04-05 21:55:53 +0000 UTC]
Boris died?! Are you sure? I hadn't heard that. I just now googled all over the place and can't find anything about his dying.

Valedhelven In reply to vincegotera [2011-04-06 04:23:01 +0000 UTC]
omg, now you have me guessing... I had heard that a few months ago, and several other artists here on dA had posted tributes to him then, but now I cannot find anything about it, either... I wonder if it was all a hoax or something! Oh, I would feel so relieved, but also SO stupid - lol!

vincegotera In reply to Valedhelven [2011-04-06 05:55:40 +0000 UTC]
I just now looked at his and Julie Bell's blog, especially his bio and nothing. On their blog there's a post from a couple of days ago, so the blog is kept up.
No need to feel stupid. If indeed it was a hoax, you weren't alone in thinking it was true. Especially if there were artists' tributes. Maybe Boris himself started rumors to see who would make what tributes! ;-D
Hey, check out my new thingy . Second in a series.

Probably, but something tells me she could hold her own in a pinch - lol! Takes quite a woman to tame that type of a man
