At first I was wondering how you would carry liquid in a truck. Then I imagined a fuel tanker.
That's a lot of drink. :1

Haha imagine trying to transport liquid in a nornal truck! There would be nothing left at the end of the trip!
Well she doesn't need to drink it all, just enough to quench her thirst

Indeed! It would be fun to see just how much liquid her stomach could contain though.

Definitely! I'd film it haha

I know enough about priceless vases in the desert to know that there must be some kind of enchantment on it to keep it from ever being empty.
...Just a hunch.

Eeeehhh? You're posting again 
Well, anyways, this pic came out really well as far as I'm concerned, in fact this might be the best full-body model you've done thus far 
OK OK enough about the belly... *continues to stare* Um... Her hair! Yeah, I really appreciate how you not only included highlights but created a gradient that tells the viewer where the sun is, some really beautiful attention to detail ^w^. In a way it's cind of the invers of your last peice where so much detail was placed into the background that it took (a little) away from the beached whale in the center while here all the detail is rendered on this closeup profile :3 (although Alice was still detailed too, I'll get more into that when I type my comment on that pic). And of course adding in her little tongue was a really cute touch 
I honestly can't find too many things to criticize, your model is spot on, the side profile is artistic, the background is intentionally up in the "back seat" and your level of detail is superb. If DA had a rating scale it would be an easy 9/10 if not a full 10^^.

Where do I find the energy? To be honest, I have no idea, but I think I may be going partially insane.
Glad to hear you like this one so much. Thanks for the comment! I figured it was about time to paint some more of Sophia. <3

XD sanity is quite a common repercussion for obtaining a dangerous power.
Heh and I'm certainly glad you did^^, not only because we get to see more of her but because you were able to give us something new^^. I know you're really only just started your gallery and are still "testing the waters" as it were, but but already I'm beginning to notice some common elements resurfacing in a majority of your uploads. In a way it's kinda funny, here you have some quality painting skills that could potentially rival the higher tiers in the belly community, but your quality in both color and rendering details is offset (held back even) by how so many of your pieces share the same "energy." To get a better sense of what I mean look at these ones from your gallery back to back
fav.me/d76i9kj
fav.me/d78q29c
fav.me/d7bj1fj
fav.me/d7c6rar
fav.me/d7dfgrq
fav.me/d7ee5hb
While each looks fairly nice as an individual piece, the emotion or "energy" of the pose each character reads similarly (if not identically). In each one you've depicted a character as stationary, stiff, reserved (some more than others on this point), and "on their butt;" if these were songs they would all share the same beat with maybe a few different lyrics. There is nothing wrong with this set up though, let me be clear on that, I've already told you in great detail what I liked about fav.me/d78q29c . If fact, if you only had fav.me/d78q29c and fav.me/d7ee5hb in your gallery and not the other 4 drawing, then I wouldn't actually have the concern I do now. True both drawing have girls "on their butts" but the scenery and the their difference in sizes make the two pieces feel different enough that they aren't trying to tell the same story. But but the fact is you don't just have those 2, you have 4 more tracks that all sing the same tune.
Maybe it would help if I provided an example of pieces that are similar but do feel different. Look at these images from back to back

Now I realize not all the characters are actually "stuffed" (and obviously your styles are different) but my point is that each pose has it's own personality to it, has it's own "energy." Even though most are just standing around they all tell a different story, the first post is "tense," the second "playful/relaxed," the third "relaxed and inviting," the fourth "pleasure," and the fifth... er I'm actually not sure about that one XD. But it's unique and that's the key!
Now I'm not telling you this try and bring you down, you've done some really wonderful work here and have a skill-set I couldn't hope to match, I only want to see you improve. Do I expect you to suddenly change overnight, no, but I want you to be aware of how similar your poses are so that you might experiment more in your future uploads and find new ways to "energize" your characters.
