Description
Hehe, I guess this is my christmas painting, of a sort (*shifty eyes* so what if it's a few hours late?) even though it has nothing even remotely to do with christmas ^-^Ehh, *scratches head* a sketchy painting I did rather quickly; trying out a new style of drawing/painting (one that takes half the time, I might add)...I'm not too sure if I'm pleased with it or not O-o
A character of mine, Alayandrei Ravean (Alay) a Song Mage; a pretty little dark thing with enough temper to blow up a palace who often wears her hair back in a messy ponytail.
Ignore the demented hands, and YES, that strange brown...thing...is supposed to be a flute. She IS a singing mage, after all. And ignore the *dead* background...I'll go back and redo it when I have time ^_^;;
*ahem* now for the ranting...
...eh, not quite up to snuff, *shifty eyes* it's the 'watercolor' next to the 'oils' of the paintings I usually do...not that the ones I do are good compared to the greats *awe*, but still....
Oh well. I kinda like the sketchy style of painting/drawing...if only because it's SO MUCH EASIER TO DO!!

OMG!!! Aiko!!! How dare you be so good! Xp I wanna color like you SOOO bad!! That's amazing!! And those hands look completely fine to me ^.^ (And I'm typically picky about hands all the time, even when I need work with them myself) TT_TT This is gorgeous Aiko! ^^
She looks awesome, Aiko!! I can't wait to hear more whenever you're not busy or something XDD
Nyah X_x I wanna color my characters now -3- I guess I'll finally give in, dig out my colored pencils and start practicing my coloring... along with many other things.

^----^ thank you!....I think O_o
Hands...blargh...sometimes I wish our arms just ended at the wrists; would save me a lot of time and effort - sketching those things probably takes longer than anything else x____X
*cheers* Huzzah! I'm glad that she turned out well! I guess I'll stick with this coloring style for a while...it's tons easier than my usual one, and apparently it still works.
Yes! Color those characters! *Chants* I can't wait to see!

*winces* yeah, my hands are never the best....
The idea was for her fingers to be hidden behind the rest of the hand, but I guess I didn't do it correctly, neh?

nice, I think this has become my favored pic out of all of your pics. but i must critique, one of her hands is either missing fingers or it is in the wrong pose.
