Oh man it's been forever since I've seen the NQN group! I'm so glad to see you posting art again. I've followed your art for a long time, since back when it was on fanart.lionking.net.Β I've loved watching these characters change and grow.

I think I saw these fine folks on some random tumblr post one upon an aeon, and I've been in love with them ever since. They're the only thing I knew about you when I followed you (now it's still just them, plus Canada and TMNT). If you do a single thing with these characters I Will Be There
TBH That's what happened to me with the Glass Scientists, too. I saw Sabrina's drawings once upon a tumblr post and the moment (several years later) that I found out there was a comic, I Pounced on that

Awklsdkj ;_; thatβs so kind of you to say, thank you!! And I mean, my characters, Canada and TMNT is me summed up pretty nicely so Iβm glad that came across ahaha
and yes!! Glass Scientists is a big inspiration to me, itβs so good!

Seriously though! So cool to see thee guys again, and fun to see how you interpret them now after so many years and how I remember them. Really looking great!

Haha aw thank you!! Thatβs a really cool way of looking at it, like I donβt notice a difference cos I still draw them all the time but when I look back at old drawings Iβm like WOWIE THEY HAVE CHANGED

I remember them mostly as their lion forms on the lion king fan site, but I have come to realize in a assumption that perhaps your characters were always human, but because you were a lion king fan, that website gave you a chance to portray them as lions just because, or may be you were goin through a phase. Whatever form they take, it is good to see them again.

I AM FEELING EXTREMELY SEEN RIGHT NOW, YOU CALLED ME RIGHT OUT

IT'S OKAY I DID THE SAME XD I started out on TLKFAA and drew all my characters as lions... mostly cuz it was easier than drawing hoomans. That's where I came across you!
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha for real!! They were always humans, I just wanted to draw em while still being βon topicβ π
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep! I actually redrew a couple of old pieces that I did on TLKFAA since I'm now way better at both humans and lions XD;
I can also happily say I'm able to draw humans comfortably now. Now I just gotta find the time to draw my characters more >:U
P.S. Remind me to draw fanart of Shady some time >:U They're one of my fav characters of yours and I gotta try drawing them now that I can actually draw something I'm happy with.

Dawww my dude that is very sweet of you, I will never say no to some fanart!! ;0;

I'm still waiting for you to make them a series >:U I'd even love to work with you on it too if it ever became a thing and if I'd be considered good enough now to do so.
I've watched you for so long. You've inspired me a lot over the years and I've truly enjoyed your work. ;A; I'm 27 now and have been trying to get my foot in the door for any like professional art jobs in concept art/character design/ art work in any shows, movies, games.
I have my own ArtStation now that I've tried to make a portfolio on. Do you think you could check it out and give me advice/feedback on how to improve?Β sinnamon_blacksmith.artstationβ¦

Haha thatβs so sweet of you!! Itβs for sure a passion project of mine for sure but writing is just really hard!! Itβll hopefully become a graphic novel one day!
Concept Art/illustration isnβt so much my area of expertise so I'm not sure on the best route to take for you! Life drawing is always good practice for learning anatomy and how bodies work. When you draw, try and focus on what youβre drawing and not just repeating your muscle memory habits. Try and really look at how shapes, light and forms work. Look at art that you find appealing and try and analyze why itβs appealing to you. Itβs okay to copy art that you like to try and figure out how to make your art work for you.
i hope that helps!!

Yeah I get the whole writing dealio. I actually have a room-mate who is really good with writing and is working on this project right now:Β www.mymagicgrandpa.com/comics/β¦Β Though I have helped them in writing it by spit-balling ideas with them constantly and I'll flat-color pages for them.
Thanks for the advice. I guess I just gotta keep doing what I do then XD Since that's all I've been doing over the years self-teaching myself is learning from other artists and getting ideas from other pieces of art I really enjoy. I just hope sometime soon I'll land a job in something so I can really get going OTL
