The Masked Shrike

Happy happy birthday Kheprera! I hope you had a lovely day and received some goodies

Lovely. So sensitive and done with such attention to the character. Bad bad scanner, no eating art!

Wow!

That is so cool!

More awesomeness. Love Madcap and Katnip especially.

More awesomeness! Firebrandi looks cute and dangerous

VERY cool!

Great pose, what a swell prize

I always like ASchell's work, and Nike does look pretty cute. In a dangerous way

Really cool, and a great gift too. The gift that keeps on giving all year

Fabulous. Love the whole look.

Love it (love them all). What can I say, I'm a sucker for winged ladies!

Every one of these is great. The expressions are, as always, compelling. Jess is particularly cute. Dewgirl is my favorite! Love that one.

Wow! For your first piece that is a doozy! Heck, it's a doozy no matter what. Congratulations, that's gorgeous. Love the movement, especially in the cape and the flames.

Great galloping grapevines, Alex, that's awesome! Victory Gardener and Bessie look swell Thank you so much!

*blush* Aw, thank you AzA! PinUp would surely plant big ol' bright red lipstick kiss on you for that. And on you too Gata!

Thanks for all the kind words, you guys. Wassy, I can't fault your logic, but one glaring exception is I haven't commissioned a Wassy original yet. I *still* can't decide which one of my gals would suit your style best. Is a puzzlement. But I will figure it out someday! *thinks on it*

Admittedly, I've gotten a lot of my watched artists on dA from TheMaskedShrike's gallery. >.> You could do worse than to watch her there and see what goodies she gets.

Aw, gosh, thanks, Morvani! I am flattered! Especially because I find your character concepts really intriguing

You've gotten loads of good advice here, Gobbledygook. This forum and DA are really great places to find artists you love. DA artists seem to have special promos and open for requests more often than you might think--just Watch some artists you like and check your DA messages now and then to see what they're up to.

Really, there are great artists out there for every taste and budget. You might be surprised!

I really think these are dynamic and exciting in a way that only sketches can be. Little moving moments in time. I look forward to seeing more.

Hmmm, most of my recent additions have involved PinUp Girl. She's been busier having art done than actually fighting crime lately

All Aboard a piece of gift art by the awesome and ever-generous ProphetX

The Rockwell Family by ASchell in his totally fun style. He also posted an alternative color scheme here which I also like.

Bombs Away! by Garv101, another great piece of gift art. I do love my nose art!

PinUp Girl and The Scarlet Specter by John Becaro, two really great pieces I picked up during his recent special. A cool different look for Scarlet. Good value, as my favorite Aussie likes to say

PinUp Girl by Oesalces,a nice sketch to round things off.

They all look great. Very cool thing to do! I dig your style.

Happy birthday to your granddad! That is amazing. He's seen so many astounding events and changes in that time. He must have some stories to tell.

If you are still looking for subjects, I'll toss a hat in the ring for one of my newer gals, Victory Gardener. An Army Air Force widow who was doing her part on the homefront during WWII, Vicky mixed up some bizarre concoctions that really gave her victory garden some va-va-voom. So she joined Allied Force and with her large and somewhat cranky vine, Bessie, brought her own brand of green-thumbed justice to the world.

Thanks Alex, hope the family had some good partyin'!

I really like the look and the lines...love the hair especially. Lovely!

Oh, I agree on that, Zekiran. Hawt.

Nice work, Sharby!

Fabulous (and the Becaro piece really is gorgeous). Nike is one of my favorite characters. Great organization! ANd so many lovely pieces of art.

This is great, and Soul looks lovely even when she's down (but not out). I look forward to seeing this in color. And a new artist for me, too
