I'm about to head off for San Jose, but I just wanted to post this piece before I did.
This piece has now become a little bittersweet, for me. . . it's a piece I wanted to work on for a long while, but now, it's one of the only originals I'll actually have in the FC art show, thanks to a mail error. In fact, it seems at this point like all of my other originals might be lost. So. . . I'm. . . I don't really even know how to express how I'm feeling right now.
I flipped the eventual painting of this because the right handed rings were confusing people. other than that, I put a lot of my heart and soul into this thing over the last few days, which, since hearing about my artwork being lost, have been very difficult for me.
If you end up at FC, and you happen by my panels in the show. . . give them a look. Maybe even this little painting. My show will be very small, I'm afraid. . . but. . . .
. . . can't really think what else to say other than that. It's sad that I'm always going to associate this piece with losing so much artwork in the same weekend.
8 x 10 Acrylic/Watercolor/pencil

I'm incredibly sorry for your loss, Ruki's. I know how you feel. Back when I was in college, I had trusted my entire artistic output-from the time I was a kid up until I was in college-to a teacher who promised that it would be safe in his office, since I didn't want to have to drag it all home and then back for the next days show.
The next day, it was all gone. About ten big portfolios and several smaller sketchbooks. This was in '94. My output since then has been painfully small since I let it convince me that it was fate telling me I wasn't cut out to be an artist.
DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. Ruki's, I know it's painful and I know it might upset you to read this but you must go on. All tha work was not for naught. Your skills improved, you moved and inspired others and learned something about yourself in the process. They're not gone, they're within you waiting to be reborn as new works of art, only this time they'll be better, brighter, even more meaningful.
I sincerely appreciate all the hard work and effort you've put into every single piece. Few artists have moved me the way you have. I know i'm not just speaking for myself when I say that. Again, you have my deepest sympathies.

Its always to hear that something you put your heart and soul, and time as well, into has become lost. But there is always the upside to it, as much as it may not seem comforting. The memory of knowing you did them, and the joy they brought to bring them to life, as well as them being up on the internet here for people to enjoy them, even if they can't be enjoyed at FC. That should be of some comfort. May not seem like it, but that's how I see it. Have a safe trip to FC!
Gotta be similar to how I felt when all my sketchbooks got soaked in college from a water leak... when I found out how much had been destroyed I honestly cried. Finished pieces, many of which weren't scanned (scanner was at my folks' house, I didn't have it with me in the dorms)... unfinished pieces that had been going SO WELL. I lost the will to draw for quite a while after that. :(
This is beautiful as ever... hauntingly so. The love in their eyes is quite painfully obvious... makes this old dragon almost want to cry.
I'm sorry for the loss of your work... I know what it's like to pour your all into something, to push and push for an important event, to put yourself through tons of extra stress all for some random person to foul it all up beyond any hope of recovery or recompense.
I know it's not on the same scale, but USPS lost a commission of mine last Christmas, which I've never been able to track down. Even tried the 'lost mail' centre in Atlanta, but it never turned up. There are times I want to do very painful things to people, slowly, and this is one of those times, too.

Really sorry to hear of the problems you've had with the postal system, and really hoping that things do turn up. Art isn't something you can put a price on in my mind. Will be keeping my fingers crossed that things get sorted out.
On many occasions this is where I'd make some witty remark in an attempt to cheer you up, but I don't think it's appropriate this time, rather just reiterate how much I hope that things get sorted.

D'oh...Would have helped if I'd remembered to actually type the comment I'd intended to before hitting add reply...FA really needs an "edit comment" function...That and I need to pay more attention.
Despite the mixed feelings you might have about it, I really love what you've done with this piece. It conveys the warmth between the characters very well, is a scene I can well associate with, and everything else aside, is very, very well drawn and painted. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

I know what it's like to lose work that you put so much into. And hopefully, it will turn up. But like every artist out there, where you start is NOT where you stay. You grow with your work, and I firmly believe that your BEST work is yet to come. You're an inspiration to the hundreds of thousands of people that know who you are, so keep your head high and your heart open. Best of luck to you!
Oh gods... that's awful about the other originals! Don't give up on them - press the mail company about it and don't let up on them. I hope dearly that they find them for you. I would so offer a hug for whatever little comfort that gives. :( As for this piece, it's beautiful and heart-warming. Their story was a great one, and it's so nice to see them this way at least. Good luck at the con, I hope all things turn out for the best for ya.
Wow, that is a bummer. It's a lovely painting. I hope your art shows up!!! I know how that feels, I lost thousands of photos once when my laptop was stolen. It is a terrible feeling. At least, you have so many people reaching out to you in support! I hope you still have a good time at the con. :)
I really wish I had been able to make it out to FC. I heard about what happened and it... well... I can't begin to imagine how you must feel. I sincerely hope you make it to FWA at least - I would love to pick up a print of yours while I'm there. Your art is very moving, and I really admire the passion you put into it.
You know I have found this very Amon-esq for some and i just noted why. They eyes Marcus has one closed and just so angled that if you made them each more green and less brown and blue respectively you have his eyes. At least to me and that is far from a bad thing. I mean damn Amon and Luther as a couple. SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I know how to even point it out but I do not I mean seriously they look so bound to one another yet clearly are not so involved so obviously a couple without being just a token "gay couple" tossed in because you want that. It is very real looking despite its obvious fantasy.
Every time I re-favorite... I just have to bring up how perfect it is. I mean look at them... LOOK! So in love! If you think they should not be married go DIAF in fact get all that agree with you soak you selves in gas and DIAF beacuse A you are wrong and B-Z-3928 you are wrong.
Two people in love, not allowing there marriage is criminal, Honestly it should be punishable by law to stop such a union.
