[paws at your door sadly] I want to throw money at you but now I'm worried I sent my request to the wrong email or something.
Hi There! Apologies, I'm way behind on emails - I have a relative in Hospice and have been having to make frequent trips out of state to help family. Hoping to get caught up on correspondence soon. Thanks so much for your understanding.
Oh dear. Having dealt with relatives and hospice more times than I want to remember, I only hope you have someone close to lean on. Sending a virtual hug your way!
You are a scary Talent, I love your comics! I am shocked by your skill and enthusiastic, I hope one day to become at least as good as you!
I think your artwork is wonderful! But thank you so much for the kind words 💜
You're an outstandingly talented artist, Mel! Both the attention to detail and digital painting quality of your illustrations are immense; your art style has hallmarks of modern Disney, but it's also got a very original, individual look going on. You are an inspiration to us lesser skilled, gutter trash artists - and the chef's kiss is that you have no time for A.I, which is fabulous.
We're honoured to have you with us here on DeviantART - keep up the great work!
You're very kind, thank you! I promise though, there is no such thing as a gutter trash artist - Anyone who takes the time to create and love art has my admiration ♥
