I haven't said much in a long time (to anyone - yay, school... :P), but I had to comment:

Your work has been progressing in leaps and bounds and has become exceptional. Congratulations! I always enjoy your pieces when you post them!

Hehe, I haven't been posting many comments lately either.. same reason, obviously. Thanks for the feedback though. I think one of the most amazing things was looking back at the first mini-portfolio I put together to get into the school, and comparing it with the final product of the year. It's amazing how much I've learned.
