    Your drawing style would be perfect on the magic the gathering cards. They have rats and mice maybe you can put those brave characters there on there

    Wow Kiri I honestly didn't see this content coming from this video :)
    at first I thought of a video about the studio, which very quickly turned into advices about your life as an independent artist and a short interview about you as an artist and your works, with motivations and such topics. which left me honestly with a taste to hear more from you :)
    I follow your art for a while and very glad to see this video, which I will hear it more for sure
    thank you Kiri, a lot :)

    I absolutely love your work on Ann Moura's Green Witch Tarot. It would be great if you two could collaborate on an herbal book. So many herbal books only have sketches of the herbs and it makes identifying the plants difficult for some people. With your art and Ann's descriptions, it would be a best seller.
    Beautiful kitties also! We have 7 cats, 1 guinea pig, 1 pitbull and 2 horses. All rescues. We work so our animals will have a better life. :)

    Hi Kiri! I would like to ask you if you could either make a video or just message me back concerning what technology is suitable as a self-employed professional illustrator? I'm changing my major to illustration (I was a drawing and painting major) but my school only tells me minimum requirements for technology as a student. I want to purchase my technology not only for school but also thinking ahead for my professional career after graduation. Can you share any knowledge you have in what specs the computer should have for a professional illustrator and which Cintiq is your favorite. I've been debating over the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 or 32 or the Wacom 27QHD. I know I want an apple desk top computer but not sure what specs it should have. Any insight you have would be appreciated. I love your artwork it's very inspiring to me and warms my heart. Thank you!

    • @ValkiriStudio

      Hi!
      I'm unfortunately not very knowledgeable when it comes to computer specs. I use a PC that my husband build for me. It's a gaming rig, I know it has 32 GB RAM and a graphics card that can run most newer games. For programs, I use the Adobe CC Suite. If you look up the minimum requirements for Adobe's program, that should give you an idea of what kind of computer you're going to need.
      I've never tried out Mac, so I can't offer any guidance on them.
      Cintiq size just demands on what your preferences are. I don't think the 27" is available anymore. I personally prefer to paint as large as possible but every artist is different.

    Love your work. Congrats! But pleeeease look to the lens (us) when talking to the camera, stop checking back all the time while talking. Noticed this in most of your videos. Besides that your videos are amazing!

      I try, but it is what it is. I always feel uncomfortable on camera. :)
