I guess she also illustrated that cephalopod avvie of yours? Tell her she has an online fan. I just spent my day looking at illustration books in two bookshops, and I couldn't find any artwork in any of the books with that kind of quality. She should put up an art blog and get famous if she isn't already.
Her illustration style is super cool. I also have a wacom tablet and photoshop, but I'm using illustrator right now. I think I can improve my skills if I learn how to use photoshop. Thanks.
I've already replied to that as best I can, crystaluni... I can do no better as long as you have your account so tightly locked down that no one can reply to you =P
So I guess that illustration style is a trade secret, huh? I can't find online tutorials for it. Oh well. I'll just go on drawing the way I usually draw... Nice new avatar, btw.
