he was offered $17000 for the eagle and he refused saying he wasn't selling any of his art >3>!

recently i heard from a friend (you know who you are :P) about an anime angels artbook that was looking for artists/submissions around the world.
when i looked, i found that one of my favourite DA artists Shilin had actually done the front cover of the book, and that even more great artists had signed up for the book. Knowing this and with the enticing fact that I can get a FREE artbook out of it if my submission was successful - i signed up and put up 2 submissions forward.
Amazingly they both got accepted OoO!

so sadly i cant submit them anywhere until the book comes out in May

and the cut preview of my two submissions that will be in the art book External Image

there's a kickstarter program for the artbook - so if you want to pre-order/checkout the other artists/work - its always nice to stare at anime angels X)

an omg - some of the artists in there *Q* (reirei included 8D)

I still cant believe i got accepted =o=
