She looks fantastic, really, with a sort of pin-up air, I think. Her hands and expressions are so perfect, haha! Congrats, wonderful work

Her "hair" and "dress" is so stunning. I love your flower people so much, and you have unlimited flowers to draw and conceptualize.

thank you so much! ahah the only problem is I rather detest fairies. So this is torture for me to draw them *laughs*

O.o wait first you need to explain what X JAPAN is.

Moriel In reply to JessicaMDouglas [2008-06-03 07:58:26 +0000 UTC]

X JAPAN is a Japanese rock band, most recently known for the end credits song for Saw 4, and is so happens to be my favorite band.

oooh that would explain it. I... despise the saw movies x.x with a burning passion.

Moriel In reply to JessicaMDouglas [2008-06-05 22:56:17 +0000 UTC]

Me too, but the song is good.

I saw about five seconds of a clip from the first Saw movie and decided that I didn't feel like watching it. Did consider watching the fourth movie just because of the song, and the prospect of scaring people with well aimed popcorn.

oh wow I have never seen that one before. It looks like it might be some of his older work, the anatomy isn't as clean as he usually gets. That's awesome, thank you!

lol!! yup, i'm not sure - i'll find the book tonight and get you a date...or duh...i'l check the pic again...doesn't look particularly early but he did go back into this sort of style for his big slav epic series...maybe this was a precursor to that?? And no probs at all - glad it's of interest!

JessicaMDouglas In reply to Amazonofexeter [2008-05-02 18:46:57 +0000 UTC]

oooh that's a point. It does have the mass of details he's always been known for, and the slav epic was more realistic... could be one of the awkward in between phases we all go through, where two stiles kind of mush together slightly in weird ways *laughs*

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Amazonofexeter In reply to JessicaMDouglas [2008-05-02 19:29:30 +0000 UTC]

yes, and the slav epic did have the muted and limited colour palette - more of an illustration than a poster design...? always been an image which has been a ouch unsettling for me - looks like she is trapped in glass and trying to escape from something...

aw it didn't take too long. There's not the depth of coloring i usually do, because I was just whipping it out to try and hit my deadlines. So... it's really not that detailed *chuckles*
