Description ///EDIT: I have a commercial buyer for this piece, so I made some touch-ups -- not so much that it would change the look or feel (because the original is what they saw and they had to like it to want it), but enough so that I wouldn't run around in circles screaming and ripping out my hair because this untouched piece of ancientness was somewhere out there representing my art.///

I walked a mile with Sorrow
And ne'er a word said she;
But, oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me.

Sorry, it's been a while since I uploaded
I haven't had a lot of time to myself, what with friends and homework. Then there are all those pictures I start but don't finish cuz I hate doing backgrounds....
haha.
Anyway, I've been practicing a more realistic approach... I looked at a lot of photos of people so I could understand how things work, mainly colors. I hadn't been using enough pink in the skin, it turns out
Well, here's another attempt at dragging myself out of anime style. Tell me what you think!!!

Its really good! I really like it, you showed a lot of emotions with just the eye, although I think for realism it should be redder.
Either way, faved +

This is beautiful o.o I especially love the colors in the eye, and I love that he looks so stunned... Not that I like seeing people in pain of course, I hate that, but I mean I love that anguish isn't written all over his face.

ShrunkenJedi [2010-11-24 00:39:17 +0000 UTC]

This is a nice one! Well done with the realistic approach (I tend to do cartoons but sometimes cross over myself). And the cropping is great to create the effect (along with that expression!).

Oh my gosh, the detail! I cannot restrain myself from staring into that eye, even if it is fake and made up of different colored pixels, which, though they form a splendid image, are still unreal none the less. And yet, I am still staring at it, but who cares? Anywho, I love this picture, and I must say, the tears look outstanding. Very nice work on everything; the lines, color, shading... just, very nice, really.
