Updates


Now wouldn't it have been nice if this had happened two days ago, on November 11? Well, can't have everything.

I guess it'll happen extremely soon; just saw that I'm nearly at that number. So if you're the lucky one, make a screenshot (NO fakes!!) and tell me. ^^ I won't have time for a full colour pic, but a pencil drawing should be doable.


On a different note, I was positively overwhelmed by the reaction to my last journal. Thanks for all your thoughts - it took me a week of steady work to read them all and reply to most! I've once made it a guideline to reply to every comment that exceeds two or three lines; there were a few hundred that were comprised of several paragraphs! So many interesting thoughts and exchanges of ideas. You guys rock. Thank you! And I'm profoundly sorry to all those who did write longer comments but didn't receive in-depth replies - there simply wasn't time. But you can be sure I read them all.

I'm a teacher for English and Latin living in Germany. On the side, I do illustrations for books, games or comics. Right now, my two children are taking up most of my time, however, so I have less time for art than I'd like...

Hello Ms.Dolfen!

A long time ago I discovered your work on Elfwood. I love it so much! I was very sad when I noticed you did not post new pictures on Elfwood, but when I discovered you were on deviantART I couldn't have been more thrilled. You're still as wonderful as you ever were, I'm so happy your art hasn't lost it's beauty and magic. Thank you for not disappearing completly from the internet! <3

Hi ! Your watercolors are fantastic ! You're a great artist !!

--
Excuse my french accent !
:icontaiman:
I'm curious - about those Chronicles of yours, are you actually thinking of getting something published? Artbook, or a actual novel? It's always interested me when artists have their own characters in stolen scenes from a story that only they know ^^ Anyway, your gallery is such an inspiration - the watercolours are FANTASTIC, you're a true inspiration. :blowkiss: Have fun!
