Description I have for the last few years never understood the love ppl have had for my painting entitled 'nolie' in my gallery- even as i write this, it is my highest viewed work. I have never been happy with that painting, i believed it to be a second-rate rendition of a character dear to my heart that i spit out one day when feeling contrary. But i can no longer deny its appeal, but nor can i stand to have something so imperfect be so praised. Hence, my 'Nolie~ as she should be'. This is they way Nolie SHOULD look, as she has always been. I'm just glad my talent finally caught up with her.
And, yes, i will be making more now.

The purples in this painting are gorgeous (I love purple!!)
And your story idea is intriguing! I hope that you have more time to develop it!!

Much prettier now. I like the angle of her body more in this one. The glitter looks great too. I really like the way you do wings.

Gorgeous piece! I love the wings-- they look so very graceful.

Sorry, I've got no constructive criticism. I haven't seen the original, but this one is really quite well done.

*Cough* CDIgaveyou*Cough* It has an image editing program on it that's a snap to use once you have a few basics figured out.

Great colors. You did an amazing job with the wings, and everything has such a great harmony to it. You should reduce the size of the full-size though, because it's too big to see ><

everyone keeps telling me that...but i'd reduce the size if i knew HOW....XD i know NOTHING of computers.....

winst In reply to JLDragonfly [2005-02-09 03:47:31 +0000 UTC]

If you have an image editing program, you should be able to go to the image size / properties in the "edit" tab and reduce the size there.

Hummm, thats a bit long to post here. She's an angel guide to one of the main charictors in the epic i've been puttering about with for about my whole life. Shes, well, shes Nolie. Its a ll a bit long to explain, and i get a little guarded about posting any of my ideas or words reguarding my novle online, as anyone can just take it. But thank u for taking an intrest.
