So cute. Reminds me of my doggo.

Looks very satisfying :)
I haven't done traditional painting in years, and I never tried the varnish. Maybe if I dig up an old piece and dust it off...

Color looks cool, there's some nice variation in there!

I'm just enchanted ;)

Thank you very much! I haven't made any new dolls in a few years, been doing more painting and other stuff, but hopefully I'll get back to it eventually.

BTW I wanted to tell you, I discovered your art on Elfwood in like 2003 or so, and I fell in love with your Silmarillion and Song of Ice and Fire illustrations.
So you're one of the artists that gave me the confidence early on to go to art school and pursue a career in art :)

This shit has been kicking my ass HARD, and with serious consequences. I'm kinda desperate.

And it's also weird, when I look back at my life, there are accomplishments I'm proud of, and I'm an almost functioning adult. But why do things need to be so hard?

I never got into the second one, it was too grindy and not immersive enough.

Nowadays I play much more boardgames, wargames and TTRPGs than video games...

I was 11 years old when I played that and it will stick with me forever :D
