Nim you doing DW this year? liking the hobbit house.. wish I could retreat to a safehaven like that one.. just spend my summer days doing nothing but chewing veggies and cloudgazing.

**Robert.B** · April 2nd, 2011, 07:08 PM

love it

**JakehC** · April 2nd, 2011, 07:12 PM

i just saved some of your drawings to my computer. defenitely got some high quality pencil work here!

**nim** · April 5th, 2011, 07:27 PM

DefiledVisions: No no DW, not so fond of war themes as I once was, and like someone said the other day, the theme isn't so interesting this time around :/ yeah. I'd like to live, something like that aswell :) ground elder, nettles, barley(grass), hazlenuts, apples, raspberries and currants and eggs from hens that'd go a long way and not so much to tend either so plenty cloudgazing :P
Robert.B: cool! >:D
Aryeh: awesome, keep up your practicing too! :)
making small posts here... should've reffed that lamb but I was in the kitchen x) (hmm broken img link atm. here's on my dump)

**krysjez** · May 12th, 2011, 03:06 AM

i really like your drawings

please post more cool things for us to enjoy

**Tawnos** · May 12th, 2011, 03:16 AM

Wow, extremely clean linework! Very impressive.

**FrozZT** · May 12th, 2011, 11:48 AM

Yess! One of my favourites are back.. I hope you feel better and find joy in your creations.

Keep your chin up man, I feel you. There is so much evil and sadness in this world, we should never forget though, the massive amounts of beauty and love that is in it aswell. We can dream our experience to hell or focus on the bright wonders that pass before us.

Take care! I don't know if you'd be interested in some tips on painting, I'd love to trade it for some of your knowledge on lines..

Don't quite remember where you are living again, anyway I'm moving up to Sthlm in june, if you're around and interested I will probably start somekind of sketchmeetings up there, I also want to go to open figure drawing sessions if I can find some.

Take care.

**Nelka** · May 12th, 2011, 03:04 PM

Checking out your sketches after that lounge post. I really love your pencil work, especially the way you treat the line. Wish I could do that, mine end up going all messy and scratchy (contour line fail).

Will keep dropping in, hope to see more updates

**Kuroyue** · May 12th, 2011, 08:34 PM

Whooahohohoa, I'mma bookmarking this thread STAT.

**Choob** · May 12th, 2011, 09:52 PM

Great work man, your linework is awesome. Keep it up!

**CLANLESS** · May 12th, 2011, 10:04 PM

Wow, I love your style. Draw more bird people, they are so cool. You should make them into a story.

**Angel Intheuk** · May 13th, 2011, 02:46 PM

Amazing SB, I really love how you compose your pictures...and the linework of course!

**Alex Eh** · May 13th, 2011, 08:09 PM

Beautiful drawings thank you for posting. Hope you stumble on that special someone!

**surus** · May 14th, 2011, 01:39 AM

Thanks for posting the new environment and the beautiful lineart!

**monstertree** · May 16th, 2011, 11:49 AM

You've got a really distinctive line, love what you're doing here!

**stragan** · May 18th, 2011, 10:05 PM

**MightyApplejacks** · May 20th, 2011, 11:51 AM

Particularly the mum and child!

**nim** · June 5th, 2011, 04:21 PM

bapsi: thanks! I'll put those to good use!
krysjez: thanks, I will :)
Tawnos: cheers!
FrozZT: thanks my friend. and yeah man. like in one of my favourite films (mainly b/c of ryan gosling) Stay: "cause there's just too much god damn beauty to quit" :) (actually said by an artist as advice to a suicidal artist.. good film) and oh yeah! I'd love to sit down and trade painting savvy for line savvy :D I'm moving to an art prep school outside of stockholm (within SL) where I'll do ceramics (probably alot of pottery but will do as many busts as I can pull off!), but yeah let's both meet and see if we can pull off sketchmeets and figure studies! :) keep it sunny! <3
ArtZealot: "nonono thank you!" (spot the Hackers quote), hobbit houses never get old do they? :P
sevarenge: hehe, the typed accent ;D.. cheeah's mayt :P oi loyke yaw sketchbook lots aswall! le's keyp i' up to beat yeah?!
Nelka: thanks! lines are my business! but don't expect I draw them right off laid down. I sketch loosely and erase and erase and then fine line it as much ofcourse :)
Kuroyue: thank you for your patronage!
Droid: thanks I will!
D.M.: thanks I'm really glad you find them charming! man I have so many stories, haven't developed one around the bird people though, mainly just an idea for their world but yeah. I should! :)
Angel Intheuk: thank you!
NiaLain: thanks! and yeah I hope so too! just have to put my androgynous men ideal aside and take more interest in women (lol just kidding, not like I'm not attentive x))
surus: thanks for looking!!
monstertree: oh the fan gets praise! \:D/
stragan: don't think so! but link me to your friends art! now I'm curious :)
MightyApplejacks: thanks! I was pleased with that yeah :)

As always it's a joy to see your updates. Ceramics, that's awesome! One of my favourite artists worked in ceramics, Georges Jeanclos. Just bumped into one of his sculpts in a park in Paris and got completely hooked. Hope you find them interesting!

The sculpt I bumped into:
