2005-08-13 [xenocentric]: awesome...there is actually awe here

2005-08-13 [Galatea]: Thank you my love! ^_^

2005-08-17 [Lashana]: My favorites are: Mermaid Sorceress, Wind Goddess, Ocean Guardian and the wolfie!! Keep up the good work!

2005-08-20 [Galatea]: Thank you very much! ^_^ I am glad you like them.

2005-10-21 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: I love all your art on here! Do you have any more fairies? They are my favorite art subjects...

2005-10-24 [Galatea]: Thank you! I don't think I have any more faeries than what is on here..sorry about that. I will try to draw a few more when I get the chance. ^_^

2005-10-26 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: Really? Oh Awesome! Thanks!

2005-10-26 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: Also, you're really great at anatomy...how do you do that? It's my most difficult subject...

2005-10-27 [Galatea]: Thank you so much! ^_^ I just practice and look at anatomy books...I have also taken some anatomy art classes as well. I wouldn't suggest those unless you feel comfortable drawing nude models though. ^_^ Just keep watching people, I like to look at myself in the mirror if I am trying a difficult pose or I just can't get something right. Just keep trying!

2005-11-09 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: i need to get on the ball and work on human anatomy...you seem to have it all down though.

2005-11-09 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: I would have trouble looking at a nude model. I'd probably blush the entire time...lol...

2005-11-10 [Galatea]: Thank you [The Monochrome Rainbow]! I wish I felt the same....I hate my anatomy, and I should really start working on it again. And to honest be [Every Rose Has Her Thorn] I had a hard time at first but after a while I stopped noticing that they were nude. 

2005-11-10 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: Hmm....*ponders not noticing that a nude male is standing on a dais in front of me* I guess that would be nice...I wouldn't be able to look at him or even a her for that matter. I'm so shy about peoples' bodies. I won't even change clothes in front of my mom...^_^

2005-11-14 [Galatea]: Heheh, after all those years of playing soccer and changing in front of the team in the locker room (or on the bus), I guess I was slowly desensitized to it. Then my art teacher started having anatomy drawing classes and I had to get brave and go to those.  I guess I just pretended in my mind that I was just looking at a picture instead of an actual person. I can certainly understand being really shy about naked people, it still gets me every now and then! ^_^

2005-11-21 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: I would be the brightest color of red...did you ever have to draw guys?

2005-11-22 [Galatea]: We did draw guys but there was a younger lady in our class both times so the first one dressed up in full civil war officer's uniform and we drew him like that and the second just took off his shirt and left his jeans on. 

2005-11-28 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: oh...good...I will still blush a little with the shirtless one, though...was he cute?

2005-11-29 [Galatea]: Actually not in my opinion...some girls may have found him attractive but I didn't. What he was, was interesting looking! He was very fun to draw!

2005-11-30 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: really? Why?

2005-12-01 [Galatea]: He was just really interesting looking, really skinny and kinda bony but really talll, he had a big nose and wore really interesting clothing.

2005-12-05 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: oh, interesting clothing?

2005-12-05 [Galatea]: He wore really tight low riding pants and he folded up the bottoms of the pants legs, he wore some interesting pieces of jewery, and he had many piercings...no tattoos though.

2005-12-07 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: hmm...that is interesting...

2006-01-01 [Subject37]: I like the Anthro Wolf... But as it turns out, the main charactor of my story's name is Anthros... I did not copy, please so not report me to the Gaurds

2006-01-02 [Galatea]: I see no reason to report you to the Guard, the name Anthros isn't mine. I am glad you like the picture though. ^_^

2006-01-03 [Cia_mar]: i like the last one the pic of your "soulmate" very nice profile!

2006-01-06 [Galatea]: Thank you! ^_^ He really is my soulmate. 

2006-01-09 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: Isn't love wonderful? ^_^

2006-01-09 [Galatea]: It sure is! ^_^ Especially when you never expected to find it in the first place. 

2006-01-12 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: I know about that...that just makes it so much better...

2006-01-12 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: would you like to join my new site?

2006-01-13 [Galatea]: Yes, I would like to check it out! ^_^

2006-01-13 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: http://phpbbplanet.com/forum/unitedarts.html

2006-01-20 [Chelsea2]: [Galatea], I love the fairy wings! They remind me vaguely of Amy Brown's style ^.^

2006-01-20 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: Amy Brown is the most wonderful fantasy artist ever! But you're gettin' there, Galatea. *hugs her friend*

2006-01-20 [Chelsea2]: Do you like Nene Thomas' work too, [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]?

2006-01-23 [Galatea]: Hehe, thanks Lina! *hugs*, I dont think will ever get that good. I love Nene Thomas's work...I was so happy when I got to meet her last year at dragonCon. Have you ever heard of Ruth Thompson? She has some awesome artwork!

2006-01-23 [Chelsea2]: you got to MEET Nene Thomas?! That's so awesome!

2006-01-23 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: Nene Thomas? Ruth Thompson? *scratches head*

2006-01-24 [Galatea]: Hehe, try google searching them darlin...I think their sites should come up. ^_^ I really think you would enjoy most of their artwork!

2006-01-24 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: okies!

2006-01-24 [Chelsea2]: =^.^=

2006-01-26 [Galatea]: Awesome, I hope you like their work!

2006-01-27 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: Yes, it's beautiful!

2006-06-10 [General]: *Sways* Niiiiiiiiice

2006-06-14 [Galatea]: Heheh, thankies! ^_^

2006-06-19 [Airawende]: The wings on the music faerie are downright mesmerizing!

2006-06-20 [Galatea]: Wow, you are probably the first person to ever comment on her! I'm glad you like the wings! ^_^

2006-06-25 [Entropy]: I agree that your wings on the faeries are abosoloutely beautiful, and I especially like your watercolour and the drawing of your soulmate, that is very well done! I love your style, good job on that horse in your horse with elf drawing, I've always found horses hard to draw for some strange reason..

2006-06-25 [Galatea]: I find them terribly hard to draw...something about them just makes them impossible to get right...I am glad you like the faerie wings, I was going to take the Punk faerie and put her on a t-shirt for DragonCon this year. 

2006-08-14 [Draymond]: Brilliant work again, it seems to show improvement form your older work. I especially like the Desert Wolf anthro, Music Faery, and Ocean Guardian pieces. 

2006-08-14 [Galatea]: Thank you again and I am glad you could see the improvement from my older work, every time I feel badly about my artwork I go back to the first page and compare it too the rest. 

2006-08-15 [Draymond]: I do that too...but usually work that is years old compared to now, makes me feel loads better. ^_^

2007-02-06 [Chrysilla]: Hey, I thought I should pay back the visit :)
I love the faeries and the mermaid on your house ;)
Good work!
(p.s. I think I have something that suits you... Portrait)

2008-07-18 [Obsidian Tears]: I really like the bored school girl, reminds me of myself in high school. :o)

2008-07-18 [Galatea]: :D Thank you, ahh yes, I think there was a little bit of her in all of us during highschool.

2008-08-09 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: MAKE A BRIDGE OUT OF HER!!!

2008-08-09 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: G, you have been featured on Rose's Featured Artists/Writers. You're colored witch is the one I chose. Love ya chicka!

2008-08-09 [Galatea]: lol! Where is that from again? Is that Monty Python? 

Awesome! Love ya darlin! :D

2008-08-09 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: Yes, Monty Python and the Holy Grail

2008-08-09 [Galatea]: Heheh, its been so long since I have watched it! We used to watch it religiously in highschool. :)

2008-08-09 [Every Rose Has Her Thorn]: Yeah. I'm a big Python fan and I tend to watch all of their movies repeatedly. And all of my friends and I drive people mad quoting them

2009-01-29 [wicked fae mage]: more awesomeness =3

2009-01-30 [Galatea]: Thank you! I am glad you like them! :)

My style tends to be mostly pencil sketch, inking, then coloring with markers. I can't use PS to save my life and so far I haven't really tried. Though I would suggest if you are interested in learning how to use computer graphic art programs start with free OpenCanvas, its simple and easy. Plus you can connect with another artist over the net (I do this with [Dint]) and they can teach you about layers and all that stuff. :) 

2009-01-30 [Galatea]: Oh and here is the link to the download page for that program.
