Description
So for the longest I was trying to go without doing anything too raunchy. Heck I really wasn't planning too at all . I've nothing against those who do do nudity. Normally its not my thing when it comes to my art, I prefer to invoke feelings and emotions or different senses from it even this piece. I was trying to aim for being sensual, alluring and just a sexy angst without getting to far into another domain.Though I found out its REALLY REALLY REALLY fun to do something on this caliber. Albeit its rather safe nudity and I actually prefer to show stuff like that at least for right now. I feel sexy is at its best when its in moderation and not just put out there at times.
I mean I don't know I'm a weird individual I love seeing erotic art for the shear beauty behind it. Its hard to explain its like when done right erotic art can be really inspiring. Not just on a " I enjoy it for the skin aspect" But its hard to truly put into words.. Trying to not sound like a hypocrite >.>

I was just discussing this subject with someone else in the group, about this piece: djake.deviantart.com/art/Toko-… . The consensus was something like this:
There are a countless sources of beauty in the world - chaste, sensual, erotic and otherwise. Each yields its own flavour of bliss, interest and fulfillment. Pursuing any of them can yield lovely results. The key is to treat the image - and any subjects they contain - with the respect they deserve.
With regard to this image, I like the composition. I also like the way you've managed to make the eyes stand out as the focal point of the piece, despite being off in the corner. It offers a depth that I don't think would be conveyed by just a "skin pic."

I really enjoyed hearing you bring up that point and, I truly appreciate the kind words you have for my art, its vastly appreciated.

I call it as I see it. ^^ Which app do you use for your art?

I actually just use Adobe Photoshop 7.0. And just recently started using a Wacom Tablet. Makes dealing giving it certain artist effect more possible then if just using the mouse by itself

I wholly agree. I use a Wacom Bamboo Create myself, and I love it! Drawing digitally takes a bit of getting used to - mostly due to settings, rather than interface.
If I may offer a suggestion: you may want to try shading and lighting your skin with some sort of speckled brush, a low opacity (perhaps 10%) and with jitter applied - rather than the full opacity technique you are currently using. It's a technique I've found very helpful with skin-tones, and if you're using a tablet, it's pretty easy to pull off. Please feel free to see my gallery for some examples.

I appreciate your advice. And it does I just started using the tablet less then two weeks ago so there's alot I'm still experimenting with. As for my shading the way I go about it is once I have a color base I do a vector mask on a whole new layer and fill it with whatever my base may be then with a soft brush, (I might try this speckled brush in the future tho) I increase it too a reasonable size, Lower the strength to around 15-20 % switch to multiply and artistically craft the shadows or lights or just where it looks like it makes sense to me. Though I will try out what you suggested. Just to see how I like it.

I wish you all the best with it!
For my own part, I work in GIMP - which has almost the same interface, just different tool names. I tend to start with line-work, then "dump fill" all the basic colours with the paint bucket tool. From there, I use my highlight/magic wand tool to select any specific area I might need. This lets me add tanning and/or pallor to the skin, fading to material and so on; as well as light and shadows.
Once again, your work has a ton of promise, and I've enjoyed cruising around your gallery since we started chatting. I think my techniques will help you; but even if you don't use em, I'm sure you'll keep doing well! ^_^

And this is why I love you. XD Well one of many endless reasons why I love you. You're not being a hypocrite per se. It's just one of those things. You know the stuff I tend to be into, but I don't draw it often though. I don't ever want a tattoo on me, but I love tattoo art. I guess it can be something like that. XD Hahaha Okay it is hard to explain.
Anyways, I always love that about you. You're just a naturally sexy guy. Know how to take care of a woman. You might have your off the wall muses, but like me you prefer invoking feelings and emotions and the senses. Gah, I just agree with everything you said and here I am commenting your description before the art. XDDDDDDDD
This is probably the best work I have seen you did so far. Maybe it's the lips looking much better than your previous works. XD She's really gorgeous. I love her eyes and lips. And her hair is very pretty. I love how you do braids. The shading and lighting is really good on this too. All your years of doing art is showing better than your first attempts. This is the artist I grew to know. X) Hopefully others will take notice, but don't fret if they don't. Just continue doing your best and it'll follow through if you continue being consistent with it as well as patient. :3
