I'll claim both of you then c:
If I haven't commented on your art in one of these threads before, then that's a crime, because I've long admired it. Your art is so lovingly detailed and draftsmanlike-- I couldn't hope to know a fraction of all the historical details you do, but I always love seeing your art and characters because your passion for the research and your interests is incandescent and inspiring. You put so much effort into your art and I love your painting style, the soft but colorful way you render shadows and highlights-- it's different from what I usually see on Toyhouse, but between the style and the grand posing you use for some characters, your art often reminds me of oil paintings.

I've claimed you in this thread before, so I'll talk about a piece of yours that I like!
This is gorgeous-- I'm sure I've said before that I admire your real media work, but there's so much texture in this, and the contrast between the white piercing eyes and snow?freckles?stars?, the deep stony blue washes, and the black lines makes for a compelling image. The picture stood out to me in your gallery and when I look at it closer, it's like he's staring into my eyes-- it has a quiet intensity.
