So ... I'm back home after a long trip to England (going by car sure takes a while). Well, what can I say? I kind of liked it, I guess. The weather was nice, the people were awesome and the drinks were good.
Sadly, my stomach didn't quite agree with the food there. If I happen to attend again, I'll need to find a proper solution for this. :')

Anyway ... a big thank you goes to everyone who stopped by at my table at the Dealers' Den to say hi or even purchase something (be it a print or a commission). Also, thank you to whoever looked at or purchased one of my pieces in the art show! :)
Honestly, I felt almost undeserving of so many nice words - though they always made my day bright and shining (even before my first cup of coffee). Thank you so much, everyone! :)
Sorry to everyone who didn't manage catch a commission slot (boy, do they run out fast) and to everyone I wanted to meet but didn't make it to their tables (shyness, time, ... shyness ...).

Well, for now I'll try to further catch up with my messages (I'll answer all unanswered notes and emails during the next few days), starting new and continuing old commissions and preparing for Eurofurence.
Aside from that I'm happy to be home for more than a week (I'm sure my cats are just as happy).

After getting back I also noticed a lot of new watchers (about 50 O.O) - so welcome new watchers and thank you for watching me! ;)

Special thanks this time goes to :icontabalon: Eisfuchs and :icondinoex:, who helped me a lot during my time in the Dealers' Den (bringing me food, news and helping me carry way too heavy boxes).

Also, there are two more people who deserve a big thank you:
:icongab: for being such a cute and nice person (and of course for picking "Let me tell you" as her "Guest of honour's choice"). And Ultrafox for being just as awesome and spending several hours in the bar with me, making me forget for a short while that I knew almost no one at Confuzzled (though that will hopefully change in the years to come).
They are awesome. So go and watch them - now!

I missed the dear :iconswandog: there as she had some issues and couldn't attend on short notice. I really hope she will be feeling better soon!

Alright, it's been a while since I last wrote such a long journal entry all by myself (thanks to my old f(r)iend Tenosynovitis ...) and I hope no one fell asleep while reading it.

Stay well, everyone!


Cheers!

Germany
I'm a professional illustrator and freelance artist from Germany.
While I also do some digital stuff here and there, I'm mainly into traditional art and hope to find other people who'd rather stick to good old brushes and real paint. :)
Also ... thank you in advance for any favorites and watches you give me. I'm usually very busy, so I probably won't be able to thank you in person. However, I always do notice it and I really appreciate it. Thank you. :)

Hi there! It's always nice to see someone from Germany here. :)
I don't have a diploma though I do wish I had one at times.
Good luck, I hope you will be able to attend university and major in art. :)
And thank you! :)

I know that you are professional...but sweet mother of god.... What I would give to be able to do traditional art like that :iconblushplz: Could you do me a favor and tell me what it means to be classified as professional and how you reach such a title? I never really understood... I mean the job I'm looking for in the end of college is a game designer...and it says you HAVE to be professional... please help me out :")

Hi there! I'm sorry for my late reply to your nice comment. :)
Thanks a lot for complimenting my art so much!
Being a professional and behaving professionally isn't exactly the same thing. Basically being a professional artist means doing art for a living (be it as freelance illustrator, game designer or something else). However, not all professionals behave like ones (sadly).
If you have to be professional it's more like an attitude you have to put on: don't get defensive or angry when someone criticizes your work or suggests changes. Keep calm, think about it and answer in a friendly manner. Being a game designer is really hard as rejection is a normal part of the designing process.
And that's why it's important to have a "professional" attitude: being nice, always doing your best and never getting angry, no matter how many of your concepts were rejected. Always keep your cool and continue working hard and I'm sure things will work out for you. :)
