Hi there!

I noticed that I haven't been updating my journal here. Much to my surprise, it's been more than a year since my last update. I think dA is one of my most neglected online accounts. :( Although I really love dA! I think this is where I grew as an artist/illustrator the most. Back then I used to spend endless hours strolling through galleries and favorites lists. Back then it was only a dream to get a Daily Deviation. Right now I have more than what I wish for (just one!), I still find it impossible to believe! Thank you! *u* I also think this is one of the few places where you can get appreciation and honest comments from viewers. Happy anniversary, deviantArt. Sorry for not being around all the time.

Since my absence, I have been posting a lot at my personal blog: blog.quietgirl.net. I hope that you can visit it, if you haven't yet. I post photos, progress works and completed works there. There are times when I forget to post the completed work here but I try my best to check on that once in a while.

Thanks for sticking around my dA page! I'll still be here checking everyone's works from time to time. This is the only place where I can see some of my favorite artists' works. But for important notes/messages, please email me instead. Sometimes it takes more than a week for me to check my notes. Commissions are temporarily closed but I still plan on opening them in the near future. But if you're interested and you're not pressed for time, feel free to email me about it. :)

Thank you!

Much Love,
Valerie

Update + closing commissions for a while

I noticed that I haven't updated this journal for more than 3 months. I'm worried that I might not be able to update this journal again for a long time but that doesn't mean that I'm inactive. I still check my page from time to time. I read all your comments! But there are times when I don't get to reply. :( I'd like to express my thanks to all those who have visited my devart page and to all those who still visit, old and new. Thank you! Your comments mean so much to me.

Commissions are temporarily closed as my room is being rennovated. It used to be a guest room and I only started living in it 2 years ago. Everything here hasn't been changed for 2 decades and a lot of its contents have been falling apart. For the meantime, I'm an in-house nomad. But not to worry, if I promised you work before I posted this message, I'll still deliver as promised. :)

I haven't been doing personal work lately (hence nothing to post in my gallery at the moment). :( I really miss it. In the meantime, you can visit my blog.


Love,
Valerie

I'm open for commissions!

Since I've been getting a few requests recently, I'm open for commission work again but for limited slots only! :)

Maximum of A4 size (8x10" with .5 inch border on all sides). I can also ship the original artwork to you for $11 or less (depending on the size). Just note me if you have any inquiries and requests. :D

I can also print archival/fine art prints from almost any work in my gallery (max size A4). I will only be printing limited copies at a short amount of time. I don't want to mass produce them. Just note me or email me chua.valerie(at)gmail.com


Love,
Valerie

Daily Deviation

Gratitude

I was surprised today with a hundred messages in my inbox (it's usually less than 20 on a regular day w/ no uploads) and I thought that someone must've featured me in a journal or news article and I was looking for a note/message about it to thank him/her but I can't find one. I noticed that April, an older and less-noticed work, is getting a lot of hits and when I opened it, lo and behold, a DD message box!


What touched me the most is that it was suggested by Claparo-Sans, an artist that I incredibly admire. I always talk about him with my best friend and sister whenever he creates something new. He's one person in dA that inspires and drives me to keep making works, especially in watercolor. So seeing his name literally left me speechless that I didn't know how to digest the emotion at that time. Right now, 6 hours later, still not fully digested, I'm in genuine glee while I'm typing this. I cannot fully express how grateful and honored I am, I want to cry! Thank you so much for the suggestion, and thank you to snowunmasked for featuring the work. And thank you for everyone, both old and new visitors for liking and supporting my works. It really means so much to me. I will keep painting to inspire as how others have inpired me.


With utmost love,
Valerie
