New Tumblr!

Hey folks, really glad to see you all here still following my artwork :D I haven’t updated this page in a while, and this is actually a secondary to what was just at the time, an art blog where I fawned at and reblogged other peoples art. So I’m moving to a new one. the link is here if you’d like to go follow that one instead now:

https://www.tumblr.com/samsantala

I really hope you want to come with me as I try to rebuild this place, but if not, then I thank you for sticking with me this far <3

Do People Still Follow Me Here?

It's interesting the range of variation you get in Dimetrodon art. I hope it's somewhat accurate from what I could gather. Let me know if it needs adjusting!
