Description Experiment #3. following the same recipe as previous two portraits. Full view please, since small size distorts the image.


After making portraits of Kuchinagimaru [link] and Sesshoumaru [link] I had to do Kureha, to complete the triangle situation currently simmering in my story, "An Emergence".
(all chapters are in my gallery)

Stuff going on around her is there because I wanted to give a mysterious feel to the portrait, and mysterious things can happen around her, since she is a daiyoukai.


Kureha=> my original character. This work is foo-dog's. Please do not redistribute.

Wow. I like the way the picture seems to 'jump out'. It almost looks 3_D to me.

You have the loveliest artwork. She looks like you just saw her and painted her from memory. Lovely lovely lovely!

This is really a great style/technique/not-sure-what-to-call-it for you. It looks like a traditional painting, acrylic maybe. I like your other style too, but this is certainly good for portraits! Looks almost like they "sat" for you!

thanks. yes it's a unique look, it's still based on manga drawing, but the painterly quality seems to add touch of "life" without forcing the image into realism.

Wow... this is just... wow.
This is so beautiful, I REALLY truly would buy it if I could. Or at least have a high-def wallpaper for my comp. It's so pretty it makes me want to cry. (This could be partly bc it's after midnight and I'm very tired, lol)
The lighting on her face, the light in the eyes, the delicate detail in the kimono pattern, it's all so wonderful! I like the little white things... not sure if they're snow or fireflies or what, but they're cool.
Sometimes I wish I had a "super favorites" category on devArt. I would put this in it.

really? i'm so flattered!
i wanted to play with lighting. this style could emphasize the effect of light more dramatically.

the lighting is very nice. I really wish I could get a larger pic to put on my wallpaper. Promise I won't distribute it.

i have to look at the picture to see the actual size, but this one is squareish, though. what's the size of your screen?

Hira--Akami In reply to foo-dog [2007-10-26 05:27:20 +0000 UTC]

Uh... *scratches head* ... when I download wallpapers I usually go with the 1400x1200 thingy, I think. Something like that. Don't worry about it being square, I'll just center it. I would just like something a little larger.

hmm, usually smaller image looks better. i'll let you know when i get around fiddling with the image size.

she looks really sad. Aww, Kure-Sama; what haaaapeeened?

I speak to your drawings as though they're children. God help me.

I really like this new style, thoug I've already siad so. Her eyes are particularly noticeable, they attract attention with their interesting shade of teal. Nice work as always, Foo-dog!

What can I say? I like wistful expressions. The style is pretty good for portraits. I'll eventually work my way into a "scene" pic with this style, but seems challenging.
