Glad there's imagination.

Of course, then fail in best way.

Famale face on male body, but this is not important.

Makes me think of that "firecaster" character from that Inkheart book series I have recently read about.

The flame is very whispy and ethereal, which is how fame acts in open air, especially if whatever is feeding it is moving quickly through that same open air, so I don't see the "fail" with the flame persay. The faces does look a little feminine because of the dark, full lips and smaller face, but there are plenty of androgynous male characters, so I wouldn't exactly call that a "fail" either. (That word has such a terminally negative connotation to it ) I would have made the nipples a little darker or more explicit, since it looks as though he has another pair in his ribs, there, but meh. One thing to be proud of is the golden filigree you implanted along the outlines of the face, arm, and hand, since it vividly represents that reflection of light from the blazing fire.

Just cuz certain parts of a deviation don't come together exactly as you want them doesn't mean the thing is a "fail," Draaky dear. You gotta keep things in perspective; one person's fail is another's success. What looks like fail to you, compared to the best work of lesser artists, on this site and elsewhere, looks like a glaring success. Besides, you can always learn a little something from each attempt, pass or fail. Listen to your teacher, Mr. MacLeod, on this one

LOL another pair in his ribs yea that's true... I don't think about stuff like that when I draw on something for 6 hours I should.
anyway, "The flame is very whispy and ethereal, which is how fame acts in open air, especially if whatever is feeding it is moving quickly through that same open air, so I don't see the "fail"" interesting saying!

and those lips. they were thinner and manlier before but DAMN then it just looked like he had a friggin universe between his nose and the mouth and the mouth and the chin so I had to change it somehow. the "makeup" doesnt help either

I love the word fail it really really really does sound bad.
Also, yes I vertainly agree with you but I think it's a fail compared to my own skills...I want to progress! and when I don't, I get frustrated.
(plus I was having such a sucky day )

I looked forward to getting a comment on this from you lol what book is that though? sounds interesting

The book is called "Inkheart," and I hear it is a moderately successful fantasy book series; I hear they are also making it into a movie soon!

This is less of a fail than most of my photography is. It is also quite an awesome fail. Not to mention that I've never seen a fail at anatomy, colors, flames or faces that has turned out so well as this did.

thank you ever so much.
I'm rather frustrated lately with my abilities... nothing seems to go forward nor does it turn out as I wish... I guess it'll pass though, it's just it's been going on for so long
