Description
So she stands with her back to winter, facing spring with a mask of indifference. Its warmth and colors hide unwelcomed transitions. With a slight flicker she opens both fans. Nothing but frail golden shields against the changing winds.(Ok, so I am no writer... but this is the same litle girl next to the waterfall here: [link]
She's grown... a little.)
Colors are kept very de-saturated for mood and the fact that I had imagined this (for some reason) occuring at evening/moonlit-night/early dawn. The Fans are cloth. A little over-used, but sturdy.

Very awesome and very beautiful! I love the cherry blossoms and the irridescence on the hands... not to mention the deep, voluptious look of the eyes.

Oh wow, so amazing! I love when drawings have pre-drawings. That way you have a little story-line. I am sucker for story drawings, to say it like that. hehe
She is very beautiful. Glad to see an up close image of the girl. Great clothing as well! Just awesome, alltogether.

I like the fans, and the out of focus flowers and flower petals, nice touch.....
It throws me off that she's european tho...... I keep looking at her and expecting her to be asian.....
Not that it's a bad thing. It just catches me off guard...

*lol* thanks! She's actually *supposedly* eurasian, but I think I could have made her eyes thinner. It's hard without a reference.

The gold of the fans pops so much, that I think I keep drawing my eye to them, and not to her, which would fit.
That hand pose, for the higher-up fan (left hand?) is amazing!

Ah, much thanks!
Hands are probably my strong point at the moment.

Wow! She looks like she can dance at the same time as she stabs something sharp into your heart. A deadly elegance! Love it, as usual.

Thanks for remembering! *blushes* It is going a lot better, as I have been experimenting with opacity and different brushes! I think I am getting brave enough to try realism, lol. I do love your work, though
