My half of a long-ago trade I did with the absolutely wonderful :iconmilwaukeedriver:. This is his character, Little Bird. She is a non-human who's skin often cracks apart with stress. The wings are figurative, of course, but he loves birds so I thought to add them. C :

MD: This image pales in comparison to the gorgeous artwork you did of my boy, HybriD; but I really hope you like it and I apologize for taking 12 years to get this to you. You are such a great person, brother. I felt pretty honored to do this with you - maybe that's why it took so long. Straight up intimidation. :heart:

I'm so happy! This is one of the best suprises I had all year!

I had so much fun drawing your characters. It seems like forever ago, but it's not at all. I was drawing like crazy at that period, and haven't really created like that since then. Life is full of work =P. I miss arting like that. Seeing Little Bird in this beautful piece drawn as well as she ever has been means a lot to me! Thanks so much for sticking with it! It could have been easy to shrug it off after a while.

This is making an awesome wallpaper on my new iPod (wife gave me 2 days ago for my b-day!). You are a good internet friend!
;)

I'm going to figure out how to use the DA print store...

: D Oh I'm so glad you like it, MD; and happy belated birthday! You're a fantastic internet friend! I'm really glad to know you. :thanks:

That is so amazing that you are making it your wallpaper; I am just beside myself. ;w;

I know it took me a very long time to finally get this to you, but in retrospect, looking back on some of my sketches leading up to this, I'm almost happy I did not really complete it until now. I think I've improved a lot since like 12 years ago when we decided on this trade together, haha.
Work and keeping up a responsible adult life are disruptive things to the artistic mind, I know. Though I would really love to see some more work from you some time, when ever you get a moment to sit and breathe. Your work is just gorgeous and I do miss it something fierce.

As for the print store - I have no idea how that thing works, haha. I'll look into it though. C :

Thanks, it's very good to be posting again. I hadn't had a working computer to draw with for the last several months. I had done a bit of pencil and paper work, but nothing I really liked.
With my new computer though, I hope to be posting again on a more regular basis. C :
