Description Wahey! Did the preliminary drawing this *very* early morning, but did the painting this evening, just as I planned.

Well, her hands still look funny, but I think her face looks slightly better than the line-art version. Done in acrylics, touched up in PS CS2.

She is great, but from which game does she come?

Oh, not a problem hun! Your watercolor (hehe, am I right? watercolor? <_<;; ) is so amazing. Especially with the Water dragon. <-- was the watercolor medium for the Water dragon intentional?



Lawl, sorry. You'll have to forgive me for being a reTARD.

LoL. Well, I'm not that great with watercolour, but I really appreciate the compliment. And no, the watercolour = Water Dragon element wasn't intentional.

Hun, don't lie. You are amazing with watercolor! No joke. I would kill a thousand crickets to have your watercolor ability! But I can't kill a thousand crickets, since that is a hate crime against crickets everywhere.

And hehe, I find it hard to believe that the watercolor wasn't intentional. But it *is* very smart and gorgeous.

With one word: wow.
Really cool painting, and I like the colors you chose.
Only one thing is indistinct, what's under that shirt? Something white?

Hehe, thanks for the great words, Teemu, they're very much appreciated.

About the robes... Lol, that's a good question. Well, since it was her human avatar, I guess something white... and scaly.

::shrieks in delight::

Thank you so much for the favorite, too. I'm very flattered, since your favorites gallery is filled with really advanced/stylish work which I could most likely would never be able to do. Thanks once again - it means a lot to me.

You're very welcome. And I think you can't say what's good art and what's not, there are only different styles and techniques.

Beautiful. *applauds* You're right about the hand (especially the right one) but it's a minor niggle compared to the rest, so no worries.

Crimson-Nightingale In reply to Amber-M-Forrester [2006-04-11 11:41:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks once again, I'm glad the rest overshadows the issue of the hands, and I'm even more flattered that you find it beautiful. It took me a while to do though, what with all the tonal blending and outlining the pattern, etc.

Awww. Thank you for the appreciative comment about the detail, I'm happy that you like it.

Anyway, anyone can get a high degree of detail, but it does take patience and a steady hand. On a side note, you have a lovely vibrant gallery, but usually anime/manga style stuff is less-detailed, so you could always try working into your deviations, just to give it that extra "oomph."

Though I dislike anime/manga in general, I think you've done a magnificent job for all of your work, especially the ethereal and otherworldly-looking Yrael. It's beautiful. You're very good at blending colours and choosing complementary colour-schemes, so I don't know what you're moping about. Keep up the lovely work, mmm'kay?

Wow, I wasn't expecting such a lovely, detailed review of my work. And I disagre with your statment of "anime/manga style stuff is less-detailed" as detail is one of the many reasons that I read/draw/watch animes and mangas, but I do respect your opinion.

Thankyou for commenting^_^
