While I'm still waiting for my artwork appearing in gallery, I decided to upload some of my drawings here.

Lovely !!!

I hope to see more of your art soon !!!

Sonion, these beings - "Tala Deli" - are not human... first, they are supposed to be both gender and, yes, you were right - proportions of their bodies are quite elongated, as well as their sculls - in accordance to their creator's taste... this race is of artifical origin and genetically modified; sensual, bohemian and decadentic creatures... they doesn't live long, as well... i did all the best to give 'em as beautiful appearances as they deserved... glad you've got this message - it does mean i didn't put my efforts in vain... sadly i cannot tell the same about the Masque' art, but you already know my opinion, so i won't repeat myself...

btw, both these pics are illustrations to the unfinished novel of mine...

Sonion, i am sorry to inform you, but i NEVER tried to follow Wendy's art, being honest, it's too much american for a guy who goes back to his asian roots - and your servant is sorta like that... yes, i enjoyed EQ before and i still consider it's very good, i've been witness how much of my friends were influenced by this, a lot of them has turned to drawing exactly because EQ encouraged them to start and try, but i wasn't one of them... these days i was into Beardsley - but it passed, as well... a person that inspired and influenced me the most was a genuine japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano... yes, he's god... and if i work hard 30 years after i'd probably reach his level... i am not so sure, thou... as i already told you - HE'S GOD... but keep your fingers crossed...

actually i wonder how a man who condsider himself being an artist matched in my poor androgynes Wendy's influence... but probably Wendy is the only artist he ever knew  and he just didn't heard about Amano before?.. well, here's a link http://www.elevenland.com/amano/amano.php3 - the more you live the more you learn... it's interesting that even common people at vampirefreaks.com, where i posted my illustrations, as well, has matched Amano's influence almost at once... it's good to know there are a lot of people accross the ocean that doesn't consider Masque the center of the world and are familiar with much better values... :)

and, of course, it's very nice from you to blame me the inaccurate proportions (you see, i'm still too young  and i confess, i missed a lot of lessions in art school as a kid, but i'm trying hard now) and close your eyes to innacuracy in Masque... watch the last chapter, smth wrong is with this new guy's hands at a couple of panels, don't you think?... i didn't want to put it up at all, cause i like how this character is presented, but if you insist, well... "All animals are equal, but some of them are more equal than the others..." Orwell is still actual, won't you agree?

I have to say, I really love your style Angel_X. Especially your choice of a limited colour pallet.

 There is definitely potential here. With a bit more experience it will look very sweet.

Your attitude though...your very defensive and needlessly aggressive. I really do not understand what you are trying to prove to everyone.

Personally, I feel that you are coming off as very narrow-minded and pompous. This may not be your intention, but it is what's happening. I would suggest that you take more consideration as to the tone of voice your writing is portraying.

Internet writing is very tricky. Thank goodness for smilies!

I erased my comments here. They upset Angel X so much that he sought me out on myspace and left many tactless messages basically asking me over and again to delete my comments. Obviously this hurt his feelings tremendously and my only intention was to make a point.

If you want my honest opinion I do not think your work here is "Absolutely brilliant" as you say. I would say that it has a lot of potential and given the right paths of discovery and perseverance some day you could quite possibly achieve something that is absolutely brilliant.

Personally, I don't believe that I have ever achieved anything that was absolutely brilliant.  I also hope that I never think so. I think art is never absolute. If one reaches such a pinnacle there's no room for improvement.
