wow, glad I looked at this thread, I would never have realized some of the people were who they were! like Ary and stuff.. I don't pay attention to names as much as the pictures I guess /shrug
I only joined yesterday, so this doesn't really affect anyone, I guess.
Still, I've changed my avatar from this:
which is all nice and beautiful and everything but doesn't really stand out,
to this:
which is much more epic and beautiful and amazing and magical and fairytale-ish and overall feels more me (as in, I like fairytale-ish). I just got permission to use it as an avatar by an absolutely amazing traditional artist that I've stalked for years and I really can't tell you how excited I am that she said yes. If you haven't heard of Swedish artist Johanna Öst, you should check out her art page (johannaost.com), because many of her paintings are wonderful!
