Definitely stole the title from a song.
So I'm still doing these headshot thingies! This one isn't very interesting, but I wanted a similar pose to this picture of mine so that I could use it as a journal skin over at my Xchange c:

But also I really wanted to draw Shin! It's been so long since I've drawn him, and like REALLY drawn him, that this was really nice. I had to jump through a hoop to get the gradient map to work on him but I think I'm becoming more flexible with this type of coloring. It is really quite nice and relaxing.

I'll also take this time to tell you guys about the #ShinXChange. It's an old exchange I ran four or five years ago that I'm in the process of reviving! So if you like an exchange, drop by. If you don't know what an exchange is, it's like secret santa but with art; every month

I haven't started the actual exchanges up again yet, but I'm working on it right now and applications to join are open. The exchange, however, is quality controlled. If you'd like to apply, feel free to request membership as a 'contributor' which is the rank required to join the exchange.

Don't apply if you can't handle being declined, though.

_{Well the song title matches the dragon that it's for; he has such a radiance to him that makes him hum with all things joyous and fantastical. I have always been an admirer of your work (and have finally taken the time to go through and start to comment on them). You deserve high praise for you craftmanship.

I get tons of inspiration from your work, and I love all of your creations! Wonderful work (and I saw it on the ShinXChange group site-it looks fantastic).}

Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments! I have to say, you changing your avatar just now really threw me off because I've been looking at the old one in my message center for a few days already xD

Anyhow! I'm also glad to hear you think the Shinxchange is cool. I hope to see you join it some day!

~bonivich May 11, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

_{You are quite welcome! Sorry about that; I uploaded some new things so I went ahead and changed it; this is my first avatar change in awhile so I am sure it is freaking everyone out who follows me, hahah.

I hope to prove my worth eventually, but for now it is practice practice practice!}

Don't be sorry to me! XD It's your avatar, you can do whatever you want n_n
