Nice one. :)

[miktar.livejournal.com]

I like to keep the horsies happy.

[ceralor.livejournal.com]

And the draggies?

[miktar.livejournal.com]

Of course, the draggies too.

[ceralor.livejournal.com]

Yay! *purr*

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Really? You've got to do some healing first. ;p

[miktar.livejournal.com]

I'm well on my way; never underestimate a dragotaur.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Well, no. I wouldn't want to do that. XD

[hellmutt.livejournal.com]

Oh now that Tivo-pic is just adorable. I like the lines on the mouth'n'chin particularly. *thumbs up*

[miktar.livejournal.com]

Thanks. ^^;

[kildoo-lonewolf.livejournal.com]

Wow! Very nice. :)

[tygercowboy.livejournal.com]

Very nice! I really like it!

[ceralor.livejournal.com]

He is!!

*purrs and nuzzles*
excellent picture

Seeing that has really cheered me up.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

It's an amazing likeness. The mane is almost like my real hair, same length and style. The eyes and glasses too. :D

[avon-deer.livejournal.com]

*strokes yer mane* Nice 'n' silky. :)

I need to get a new character pic done for myself.

This is the only one I have so far.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I like that one. ;)

[avon-deer.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

I am hopefully going to get some more pictures done. I need to ask my artist-slave. :D
More risque pics needed I think.

[songcoyote.livejournal.com]

That's really cute! I like it a lot.

In a way it feels more... accessible than the your current default, which has that very beautiful model feel to it. Not that there's anything wrong with this, mind you - it's a gorgeous picture - it just has a different feel to it.

Besides, I'm certain you are a beautiful model; this is just a different interpretation of that beauty :)

Light and laughter,
SongCoyote

My own mane is more curly, like the one in Chris Sawyer's drawing (the default icon) but does like flat and close like Miktar's version. I have a pair of glasses that look just like the ones Miktar supplied. XD

They are the photosensitive kind, so I don't wear them all the time.

As for looking like a model, well, no, probably not. Not even for the AARP advertisements.

[flaredragon.livejournal.com]

This picture just resonates with how I see you in the first place, 'tivo. =) It just feels right inside. I'm listening to your song while I'm looking at it, and they kinda click too . =)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

I'm not used to nice gifts like your music and Mik's art. It's kinda overwhelming. :P

[flaredragon.livejournal.com]

Why not? it's not like you're undeserving or anything like that. Silly pony. *hugs*

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Well, no, not undeserving I suppose. It's just a lifetime of carefully teachign myself not to have expectations maybe.

[corelog.livejournal.com]

Oh, now that is most excellent. :)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

I think I need to do a new userpic for you, wuffy. This one is cute and I like all of them, but they all show the tough side and I like the soft cuddle side. :)

[corelog.livejournal.com]

I -do- have a cuteness icon, you know... :) Not good enough/numerous enough?

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's reasonably cute, though it's so black that on both my screens I can't see your eyes. Still, none of your userpics quite make me feel an uncontrollable urge to reach out and stroke fur. That's what I think you need. ;) When I get a round tuit, I'll see about doing one.

You again

[goldenstallion.livejournal.com]

Dear Rider,

Looks just like you. Great job, Miktar, you caught his size and strength but moreso his gentle good-spirits and studious nature.

Imperator, Tivo's flap pony forever.

Re: You again

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Pony! *hugs aggressively and grins*

I agree with you. It actually looks like me.

I got stuck on the front desk for two hours this afternoon. Eeew. But I got out of attending an all day meeting on August 30 that I didn't want to go near, so it evens out.

[linnaeus.livejournal.com]

That is really nice. Of course, I'm a bit partial to critters wearing glasses.

So is that a halter on your muzzle?

[altivo.livejournal.com]

I need those glasses. Can't see much without them, certainly can't read.

Yep, it would be a halter. There's a little artistic license obviously. You've heard of strapless evening gowns, no doubt. Well, this seems to be the equivalent in halters. What holds it up? That's part of the allure. ;p

It's rather intriguing, no? The thought of actually adding the crown strap is actually disquieting. I like it.

[cabcat.livejournal.com]

That's real swish, the eyes have real depth and it's got a nice softness to it. Plus it's well coloured and cute too without removing any of the studious look that I always think Altivo has. ^.^

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Studious? Or just near-sighted?

Yes, it's a real nice piece of work. I printed it on a color laser printer and it looks like watercolor. The brush strokes are natural and clean. I'm very happy with it.

[pioneer11.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thats so you.

^.^

[heavens-steed.livejournal.com]

That's a wonderful rendition of you. I'll add it to my collection.

I've been wanting to do my own drawing of you but all these other artists have done a better job than I can do, so what's the point? Besides, you probably wouldn't want art from a crazy, idiotic conservative fundie anyway. :/

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Heh. You leave me no way to answer that. If I ask you to go ahead and draw me, then I'm being greedy. If I go ahead and say that I really don't need you to do it, I'm tacitly agreeing with the "crazy, idiotic fundie" part.

I do not understand fundamentalism, that's true. To me it is utterly irrational. But that's not a judgement on you, it's merely a statement of fact. It has nothing to do with your art, nor with you as a person.
