Thx a lot Tidoko! from 6 months ago i\'ve improved a lot and even more from my browsing on cmon since september, but i think there are others that are worth more.
Thanks for your kind words anyway!

I\'m afraid you\'re going to scare a few CMON members if you start calling Alexi \'mate\' or \'chap\'. The truth is that her beautiful avatar is a picture of her. Ans I don\'t think chap goes quit well with a lady
As for most improved, I can\'t really think of any just like this but I\'m sure I know quit a lot of people who have showed great improvement. Plus all those already mentioned above, keep it up people

I have to say I am really flattered to have my name mentioned here.And it means a great deal when you get a pat on the back like this.I still have my first posts that I did before learning the techniques etc from this site,and on my shelf along side my new ones there is a world of difference.What realy pleases me is that I have got this far on limited painting time due to a full time job,2 young children a girlfriend who thinks I am a taxi driver etc etc etc.All told about 10 hours painting per week.All the minis I post are the only ones I have done bar a couple of test minis here and there.
Personally I think there are loads of people progressing very fast and there seems to be a lot coming straight to cmon at a very high level.
Also if you want to praise me then you should praise yourselves,because its through you lot that I have become a better painter.Whether its the articles,images or the great advice on the forums.I think we all deserve a pat on the back.And dont forget,when you are up there,remember you are looking down on where you once belonged and there are people who need the same help and advice that we got.

Should have been a bloody preacher


Thanks,Mark.

I just remembered another one, the very person who started this thread, LouisCypher, has improved dramatically over the last year!

i have to say that alexi_z\'s work is awesome for someone who only started painting 2 years ago. her be\'lakor is absolutely incredible. just gone through her gallery. if i improved the way she has, i\'d be officially a god by now (or at least halfway decent!) *sigh*

Done a little teaching (Photography some 15+ years ago), Would never be an Evangelist. (Probably fail the first hurdle) I suppose I could do an Inspirational book, but I\'d need some inspiriation first.

But Banana Pie Tester I\'ll sign up for that.

I\'ve been fortunate to see Mark\'s (Klute) painting In Real Life and even under garbage lighting it still \"Rocks the Boat\". Klute really does deserve a credit on this thread for his painting skills.
