I can see your point Disney Duster and I must say you're totally right. I can't give promises that I may not keep again though, so I'll leave this matter open. I want me to feel completely free again and who knows, maybe I'll be able to finish the remaining requests at some time. Thanks for your advice and understanding.

Hey Al from Ag, I as well know what you mean, I only draw when I feel like it, and they always end up being pretty good since I want to do them and pay attention to it more than if I felt like I had to do it. But than again I always draw at like 3 am :lol: I hope you have fun with your newfound freedom :D

I must say, Im saddened and dissapointed by this news. But dont think Im being selfish or misunderstanding about it, cause Im not. I completely understand how you feel and know that you want to not feel pressure, especially from certain people, and you want to draw whatever flows through you at the time. I would want the same thing if it were me so its totally ok. I look forward to seeing what you will surprise us with next and, whatever it is, I know that it will be beautiful!

Al from Ag, we should be grateful that you did any of out requests at all!

I usually draw Disney pictures for birthdays and xmas cards, but it gets hard when you don't WANT to, but you HAVE to instead. Totally understand it.

I look forward to your next picture, whenever, whatever it may be!

Thank you for all the time and effort you have given us all!

Yes, definitely. Aladdin, take a break (or stop altogether, if that is what you want). You gave us so much of your talent, we should be able to give this to you.
If you were still planning on making the Princess Christmas picture for me, you don't have to. It's after Christmas anyway, and you shouldn't be made to do something without the proper inspiration. You've given me enough with the fantasmic! Peter Pan picture already, so I respectfully withdraw my second request.
At least now, you can have a UD life outside of this thread :lol: :wink: !
:pan: Love It.

Thank you so much guys. You've been so kind to me even after this unpleasant announcement of mine, that I feel now such a selfish pig for not doing requests any more. And I want you all to know it's not each of you that made stop, it was the whole feeling of the expected perfection and the big amount of work that I couldn't stand.

Fantasmic! Peter Pan pic? Okay, I know that Disneyland has the nighttime show Fantasmic! with Peter Pan fighting Captain Hook on the ship (complete with crocodile!). But that picture of Peter, Wendy, and Tink flying doesn't seem to have anything to do with Fantasmic!...

Aladdin from Agrabah, don't feel bad! We were realizing how much the requests were piling up ourselves. It's logical for you to be stressed. You aren't an art machine...or are you?! I knew no human could produce such incredible pictures! You're an artbot! Artbot from Agrabah! Ahhhhhhhh!

:wink: Just kidding.

I was just using the word in place of "fantastic" or "amazing." I wasn't referencing the show. I was just expressing how much I loooved the Peter Pan picture. :wink:

Haven't kept up with this thread like I should have, but I went through and looked at all the artworks I hadn't already caught. Really tremendous work, AfA. Very impressive. Hope to see more from you, but by all means take your time and only paint what you want to paint, when you want to paint it... and then share only if you want to. :)

I just can't believe how you all guys continue to support me after the bad news. Maybe it'll sound too much, but I definately LOVE you all! :) And I know that some of the remaining requests were something you really wanted to see -like the Christmas Princess picture- but sometimes a delay is for good, considering that I would do them wihout being in the mood and the result would be quite bad. But we'll see...maybe in the future... :wink:
Aaron, I'm honoured that a very important contributor to this site appreciates my artwork. Thank you very much, I'll give the best of me in my future pictures.

Oops. I made a mistake. Can you make a picture of the Scooby Doo gang, including Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred?

How come I've never seen this post before! It is A M A Z I N G !
It's sad news you are taking a break, because I got really inspired by your artwork. It is the best thing I've seen in a while! They all look like taken from a model sheet! And believe me, that is o hard to achieve, I've been drawing since I can remember and th only character I can make without any picture or guide is Ariel.

Thanks for this unique collection, it really inspired me. I hope too see som dazzling work on a near future.
