_{I find it exasperatingly hard to believe that I hadn't thought of participating in this community activity before.}

It's feature time, home dawgs. Word to your mother.

I have been featured by *LemDoodle in her journal and I'm well up to the task of passing the love along.

The first 24 to comment on this journal requesting a slot will get 3- count 'em- 3 pieces from their gallery featured by me. I will choose the pieces I like the most. In return, you're urged to reciprocate the deed with your own feature journal, placing me in the first slot (for a total of 25 featured individuals), but I'm honestly not going to check up on you all. It's your decision.

LemDood, your light, optimistic, and appealing art has always been a favorite of mine. Your canines and felines were what hooked my stubborn tastes first. Now, you've branched out to not only well portrayed humans, but also skillfully executed comics that are simply a great pleasure to read. Colorful, humorous, and positive characters abound; you have a truly delightful gallery. In a significant addition to that, you are also a wonderful friend! Keep it up and keep challenging yourself, LemDood.

Normally I don't prefer base art but after seeing the effort and creativity you place into each picture and the stories to follow suit, I find an exception with your work. Not only do you have a good grasp on shading with the bases, you also have many a picture you've drawn completely yourself in which I see great improvement simply from practicing with bases. You have me beat in pixel art! I don't have the patience required to create an effective piece in that media. I encourage you to step out from the bases more often simply so we can see just how creative you are without the limits of a pre-set pose. Great gallery, Rose Unicorn, and thank you for being such a kind friend!

Ah, Other Half. I remember back when you first started getting comfortable enough to share your poetry with close friends exclusively. Now look! Your usage of lexicon, iambic meter, functionality, and rhythm has increased tremendously since those middle school days. I'm personally proud of all of your work and know that if you continue to press forward, you will reap rewards for it. Always introspective and ever challenging of the domestic (albeit subtly), every one of your poems has an individual voice with a significant message. Never stop writing, Teal.

Storm Crow, I must admit that I'm instantly intrigued by your line up of characters in your mixed-media gallery. I hope to one day soon see the comic in which these interesting persons reside. On the topic of comics, you have great potential for creating them as seen in the sequential art you already have posted. Many of the photographs you have hold a higher meaning than that of a simple pohoto- many of which hold a Christian meaning that I greatly appreciate and enjoy. Keep up the great work and I hope to see much more from you soon!

AM, you have always been the undying fruitful tree of creativity. From your original and fantastic characters and designs to your intriguing and well thought out story ideas, I've always enjoyed listening to/reading/viewing your work. I can remember eons ago (it seems) when you first decided to start drawing. Since then your improvements have been astounding. I'm extremely proud of you even when you yourself went through spells of loathing your work. I look forward to when we can collaborate on huge projects again (and actually finish anything other than stories, haha). After all, you were my primary inspiration for 2nd Fall! Keeping aiming high, AM, and have fun creating video games!

NEAMDAWG HOMEFRY. I'm going to be quite upfront about this: I'm extremely jealous of your mastery of color. Not only that but most of your work is lineless- an effect I find quite difficult to realize on paper. In addition to both of those aspects, you've quite a skill of rendering portraits. That, my friend, is the skill I am most envious of as I've tried. Your gallery is a such a delight to view that I automatically spend more time than I intend to simply gazing over your work. Intriguing, pleasing, cheerful, and creatively unbound, your art is some of which I would use to define artistic freedom. I know you have more than enough potential to be the illustrator for children that you desire to be. You simply have to keep pressing forward and looking for those opportunities; because that's all you need, one opportunity, and you'll see you can do it.

Emy, your gallery is certainly one I go to for a quick pick-me-up! The pleasant colors in combination with your optimistic and cheerful style always was a favorite of mine. The plots and stories you have conjured up are also ones that draw me in- especially since you love to throw in those unexpected twists that I am addicted to. Your OC designs are wonderful; I love the clothing you choose to create for each character. Not only do you dabble in photography and cell shading, I am impressed by your growing pixel talent as well. Such a compassionate friend you are! Most of your gallery is art dedicated to others. Although you are quite the busy mother now, I hope to see more art from you soon, Emy.
