Oh my gosh! I can't believe I was given a Daily Deviation!! Thanks so much to `
Gwendolyn12 and `
UnicornReality for the suggestion and feature, and of course extra-special Thank You to *
ocwajbaum who photographed the costume!! And thank you all for so many new faves and comments on the piece. Your encouragement means so much to me!

For all my new and long-time watchers, thank you for choosing to follow my work! I plan to keep working hard to continue bringing you all new pieces to see, and to keep challenging myself to grow and improve.
For a while now I've been thinking of combining ~
bekalou-cosplay back into this original gallery; I created the gallery at first to keep my cosplay photos separate from my traditional art, which was the main purpose of this account before I got into cosplay. However, as is fairly obvious, cosplay has become my main artistic endeavor, so the need for two separate accounts has become a bit pointless. The reason I have neglected to pull work from that account and put it into this one is twofold: for one, I hate to lose or abandon all of the kind words that have been said and all of the favorites that have been placed on the entries there. Secondly, I would have to spam this account with a few years worth of pictures, which would be tiring. But it would be much simpler to have everything sorted in one account. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this subject?
Thank you all again and I hope to update soon!
