Description My character Lana Moriem having coffee for breakfast at the crack of dawn.

This is the 'morning after' her big fight with Serinue ( [link] & [link] ). ... But the title also has a dual meaning! (Exclamation point!)

Did she let him live?


Drawn entirely in Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom tablet.
Approximately 5-6 hours.

Wonderful in expressione.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā€¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> I truely feel the emotions in this art work. And the awesome fact that it is neopets related, well i hope it is, just make it , to me, even more wonderful. The detial is amazing. The coloring was just right. The shine in her eyes, BEAUTIFUL. Sometime i wonder, what is she thinking. It is a she, right? lol anyways, yeah. Once again, very good work. It's original. Bravo for originality. You really give neopets a great name and i wish you the best of luck on your other art work cause I know you'll do great.

The lighting is freaking amazing! Well, frankly all of your colors are always amazing. The dark greens contrast nicely with the orange-red, and make the bright yellow light and Svetlana's light green eyes really pop!

The painting-like look of the background and props makes Svetlana stand out more without making her look out of place. However... the layer of the leg of the table seems to be above the layer with the main part of it (unless it's a different type of table than the kind I'm thinking, in which case, my bad! o_o' )

Her expression is perfect for what she must be feeling. This is really top notch work, Ms. Natasha!

Thank you so, so much for the critique! I see what you mean about the leg of the table, it was because the edge of the table and the windowsill were the same color. XD Made it look weird, so I bumped the bottom of the sill up. Hope that looks better! If not I can add a shadow on the leg of the table. Again, I really appreciate the crit, it really helped and definitely made me feel pretty good! Haha.

'Looks fine to me without the shadow. 'Happy to help.

I keep trying to be more active with my comments on your pictures. When I saw you were asking for a critique, I figured it was a good opportunity to put my subscription to use and try and be helpful. I mean what I say, you know. Your colors really are gorgeous.

Great job, as always. I really love the soft glow coming in from the window. It's incredible how realistic you can make unrealistic characters look x)

She is; this is just her non-neopet version. ;D No Aisha ears or White Chocolate marks, hehe.
