Well, I found this post on accident, but fatman, I've become an instant fan. Great job with what you're doing, and I urge you to keep this up. Also, I believe you should just keep doing what strikes you as interesting for now, it'll help you feel out what you'll be wanting to concentrate on later down the road, just a tip from one artist to another.
OOO and the photobucket links on your first post are down, I'd love to check them out if you could upload them again.
Unfortunately I've already deleted some of my older pics )or too lazy to look up the newer links, sorry). I do, however, have a newer thread, if you're interested.
