Description Spiritual Grimorums are changing RP heavy pets on Gaia. I decided to make a different persona of myself to be the keeper of my Grimorum. So then I wanted to draw her.

I spent 3 days alone, working on the sketch, refining the lines. Then nearly a week coloring it. This was the first major drawing I've been able to finish during my block. Overall, I'm pleased with it. The shading on the nose is a bit off, but that's just an area that I have to work on. The proportions are probably off as well, but this is what I wanted XP I really like how the hair and the ear turned out.

Cool! I love how her earrings and hair clip look next to all that blue. It plays it off very well.

Absolutely gorgeous. The shine in the hair and the overall lighting is incredible! I can see what you mean by the nose being slightly off, but its so minor I really didnt notice until I read your description.

Amazing work! The highlights in the hair and the shading of the skin are quite the eye-openers. I wish the blue from the lighting would reflect a bit more on the skin, but that's probaly just me. Overall a great piece, that is quite pleasing and soothing to look at!

the nose shadowing does look off, but not by much. I'm guessing most people would just not notice it. I didn't until you pointed it out! and I love the way you colored her hair. I get the feeling I'm too chicken to really experiment with color, hence the mostly neutral tones coloring jobs I do!
ah well, I think I should go home to practice... oh wait, I need the money... dang, stuck at work again!
