Thank you very much

Glad you think so, although this an old work and not so refined. You've got a very nice gallery too.

Yes, yes. ;__; I get 100 messages daily from all the damn groups I'm in! Now I just pretty much click the delete tab if the first image doesn't look that good. >_>; I really need to edit those.

That is so gorgeous! I love artworks that showcase culture. Excellent detail on the accessories and of course in capturing such a human expression. I love the wispy-ness of the hair too.

Thank you so much
I'm trying to work my way through the other (numerous) ethnic groups in Borneo, but I don't want to rely on postcard pics.. so still looking for the right references

Whoah, awesome! You're really good at painting. In small-view I thought this was a photograph.

Love the background. Also, love the costume – those beads must have been really hard to paint, hahah. And her hair looks so real. So does her skin tone.

But the thing that I love most about this is how much she looks like, well, a Lotud girl. Or just how much she looks like a Malaysian. (Or Bornean. Haha) Her eyes, mostly, and her smile. Her lips.

Thank you very much for the kind Really pleased about her looks too Wanted to make sure that she does look like a Lotud/Bornean/Malaysian. Think the likeness to the girl in the photo was pretty good.

And yup, the beads were a pain. Did them twice O_o .. finally painted them in 3 layers.
