Description The theme was supposed to be about a beautiful princess who was doomed for eternity to live at the bottom of the ocean... but I figured if she was going to spend the rest of her life there, why not make her cage look nice?

Go easy on me ya! Personally I really think the background looks like crap... but then my hand was already aching a lot while I was making that part... So... guess I'll just leave it at that...


Happy V~day in advance everyone.

I can't believe I hadn't noticed this before! This is exactly how I've pictured Gaia, you know...trapped by *cough*ADVANCED*cough* technology and man-made things. It's so beautiful!

Trust me, that is why they are beautiful! You still have room to grow and become even better than you can ever imagine... Besides, you do your work in traditional art. These days, unless it looks digital, it seems it go unnoticed, which is a crime! Your work is gorgeous and deserves praise despite those "flaws" you mentioned.

Beautiful mix of soft colors, the whole picture is done brilliantly and the details are amazing
I really hate telling that something is wrong... it makes me sad to critisize other people,
espessially when my work isn't even close, but her fingers are a little too thin, and long...

Lirica04 In reply to RedAssassin [2007-02-12 17:31:59 +0000 UTC]
