HAHA! sometimes I wonder if other people do see a Balaa trait in work. Like Ill be browsing deviant and Ill see a pic and automatically I will know "Thats Shaydes stuff..or Cat's etc" But I wondered if people could do the same with my work since I tend to err jump around so much.

I know there are bits and pieces of different styles in my toony work....unfortunately these days you cant readily admit that. Most of it is likely completely self conscious, a means to explore outside of the box. I got so tired of being labelled just a tlk fan artist and since I got my tablet roughly a year ago..Ive had the chance to explore more without being handicapped by paint shop pro. I delved more into photoshop and started unlocking its hidden doorways. So if my style resembles another..its not a matter of me malisciously trying to run them over...its me learning and growing with something still quite new to me.

I say bravo to places like deviant, just like for you...the place has been a goldmine of inspiration. It makes me just want to keep growing, keep trying new things.
