Oh my God... OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!!!
That's what I am thinking right now!!! My intelligence with words is completey gone and I LOVE IT!! 8D
This was such a surprise to see!!!! I mean that too, I just... I just can't believe this ;wwwwww; I've never been so appreciated before for just trying to be who I want to be - a fellow artist among a community of artists who just wants to help and have fun and talk to people.
The art is just... it's utterly amazing. Do you hear me girl, it's freaking AMAZING. I have never ever seen Satsumi drawn older like this - Hell I haven't even drawn her that old yet!! XD Poor dear. She's totally and utterly beautiful though, seriously you drew her hair so gorgeous like, I love how you made her blond strands more like natural highlights, and more caramel colored then blond which goes sooooo much nicer with her hair. Her face is super pretty, it's so cute and smooth and petite looking, those lips are hella luscious looking. Hell if she wasn't my character.. LOL XDDD
But most of all, I love the look in her eyes. They're so beautiful and full of life. But most of all, what I love about them, is how they give off this calm and confident aura, which is something that one would hope a shy girl such as herself as kid to accomplish when she's older. She looks just so cool and collected, ready to take on the world! Or in this case, the waves XDD I also adore how you drew her with a surfboard about to go surfing, I've never contemplated that either. It's a bit of a surprise to see her in a bikini too, but hell she looks hot in it and you drew her with an awesome body. Plus as I said just a couple ago, she's older and more confident and assured looking <3333 I love the fact you designed her swimsuit off the outfit I drew her in consistently - I just think that's so neat! And shows such attention to detail ;D Plus I think it gives her swimsuit a neat design The fact that her surf board is pink makes me on cloud 9 since I LOVE LOVE the color pink, and I always imagined her to like it also X3
Seriously though, thank you just so so much, this seriously blew my mind and nearly brought tears of joys to my eyes finding this unexpected and wonderful surprise. It makes me feel so proud that I've made such a difference to you, even if it isn't the biggest difference someone has made in your life. I'm happy to have been of some help and support and I will happily continue to do so always! I don't know what I'd do if you gave up art for good - it's just too gorgeous not to be noticed by the rest of the world.
*hugs and glomps and cuddles a bajillion times* I'd fave this thing 5,000 times if I could, but instead I leave you with this:
You are awesome Abbey, I hope to aspire to your level of art someday, And you're even more aspiring in your kindness too, never let that go, ne? n_____n I am going to display this happily screaming with joy in my journal (if that's okay with you) and print it to put up on my wall!! <333

The greatest of pleasures can be found in the simplest of things.

i am so glad you like it, i just wanted to show you how much you mean to me. because even though it seems so simple, it really isnt, it is a support, it is a motivation... it is a muse of sorts. "And you're even more aspiring in your kindness too, never let that go, ne?" can i say the exact same thing to you???? XD!!!! <3!!!! ^^

this comment made me smile bigger than i have in a long time. <3 thanks again girl.

We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

Wow, very nice indeed, very impressive for a gift pic! Though I know she deserves it

I like the skin and face most, some of the other areas look a bit rough, but it's still really good!

AND HOLY CRAP, that was a long first comment 0_0

You're welcomies. ;3

i just wanted to show you how much you mean to me.
You might not realize just how much that line means to me. Whenever I comment frequently on someone's works, I always want to try and get to know the person, find out more about the artist behind the picture and not just share "Cool!" and "Thanks!" back and forth. I've made some absolutely amazing friends off dA and I hope it continues to stay that way <3333
LOL Yes, you could XD but but.. I hads to say it, I did. 8D I've received a few gift arts, but this is by far one of the most amazing and most surprising ever, no questions about it ^^

You're very welcome, I'll do my best to remain a good little muse in the mean time. I think I have just found a new muse myself X3
