    I love it she constantly talks about providing and caring for her mother. I don’t really see or hear much the young in America saying and doing that for their elderly parents. Bless her.
    And thank you to you Sir for putting smile on everyone everywhere you go.

    @TheRammMan 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +56

    Dude you're insane with your drawings! The detail is out of this world. I reckon you need to allow a little more time for people to express their gratitude to you. They take time to look at what you've done, process it and then express their feelings. Don't rush it mate. That's the best part of the experience IMO When you're dealing with something as cool as this it does take time for people to process it and I'm sure they'd love to show you their gratitude and your fans want to see it to. You rock!

    this is absolutely amazing! She was so blown away by your work, I dont think she could properly convey how much she loved it! Quick tip for the cinematographer: It seems the camera facing her was in wide AutoFocus mode, which is why it was struggling to keep her in focus (common issue when background is brighter than the subject). Kindly ask your cinematographer to use eye detect (or face detect) focus mode to avoid camera hunting for the subject. If that doesnt work, turn on the focus peeking mode and adjust the focus manually. As always, keep up the great work! Kudos my friend!
