    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi everyone! My name is Nina, and I am an illustrator. I spend most of my time creating beautiful artwork that I hope brings joy to others. In addition to illustration, I am also a reptile breeder—a passion I have pursued for many years. Having also worked as a zookeeper, I have a deep respect for all animals, but reptiles hold a special place in my heart. My experiences with animals have significantly influenced my art, as I enjoy creating works featuring both mythical and real creatures, drawing inspiration from the animals I have personally worked with.

My artwork explores the concept of fantasy worlds intertwined with the beauty of real wildlife and the natural environment. I aim to capture the emotional nuances we experience when observing fantastical creatures or wildlife. By using bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes, I convey a sense of movement and energy. I choose watercolors, acrylics, oils, digital painting, or even clay, depending on the mood I want to achieve in my work. My goal is to evoke empathy and understanding in the viewer.

I strive to show that there is beauty in all animals, including reptiles, which are often overlooked and considered less appealing than other creatures by people who don't understand them.

I am available for commissions for pet portraits, original paintings, logo designs, and various art projects.

I’ve attached a few samples of my work, but more can be seen here-
