i'd like to take the opportunity to send you a compliment instead! i hope you've been sending your own strawberries in people's inboxes, but since i can't see them, i will have to make sure...
i know we've been friends for a very long time, so a lot of the things i could compliment you on such as your graphics, writing and creativity are already things i have complimented many times. but i'll do it again, just for the sake of it--these are still very good, and continue to be! i like the way you manage to make promos have very many visual elements without feeling too cluttered, either.
however, recently i'd also like to compliment your art again and how quickly you're improving! it's kind of ridiculous, if i wasn't such a good person i'd be jealous (lol) but i really do mean it. i like your usage of colour, i really like the way you do lighting, and your composition is usually cool too! i'm not as into comics as you are but i feel that it is often obvious that you're taking inspiration from them in order to set up your characters, but it feels as though you are taking what you want and then filling the rest in with your own style, which is always really fascinating to see. i think you're influenced in just the right way, to be honest.
and finally i also want to thank you for being a good friend. i can't speak for other people but i'm sure many people reading this will agree too! we've had a lot of fun times & i'm honestly glad we still hang out as much as we do. oh and i really hope that in the future i'll be able to read some of your books and send you my thoughts on them (if you even still care about my opinions in your successful future.....).
anyway tl;dr you're a good friend that does cool arts :]
