Ooo, it's great. Instant Fav. I love the look on her face, the pose, the hair... wonderful. Kudos to you! Very brilliant work, you should be completely flattered by everything you do. Very life-like and brilliant... just BRILLIANT!

It makes me want to cry

Heh. It is really nicely done. It portrays her emotion very well, especially the eyes.

sorry I don't like this quite as much as the other one but still, it's nice. just looks a little bin squishy. or not squished but something. dunno.
still, I love your style!!! keep it up, and thanks for using my photo

(I didn't read all the comments but you know what, I hear ppl thinking I look like avril lavigne often. even my friends/family compare me with her sometimes. also from how I act. )

achirea [2002-12-14 21:23:11 +0000 UTC]

nice.. I love the almost smooth gradiented look
resembles to a mixture between Jennifer Aniston and Alains Morisette (eyez of anains)
well it does look like avril lavigne a bit too

tarantino [2002-12-14 16:02:57 +0000 UTC]

Nice idea that her inner feeling reflects directly on her facial shapes and striking features. She really looks down and totally sad. So she feels like the title says "Expect(ing) rain" and rain can be very sad for a sun-child The character here seems to be influenced a bit by "Avril Lavigne", but maybe this similaritie is just done by chance ( cuz reference photo isn't Ms. Lavigne ). Anyway very nice work with the hard brushes and very strong and expressive shadings. Like the way how you play with shapes and lights, without following any rules or definitions (that's what's making art interesting right?). So again a damn good work.

I'm thinking of stopping commenting on you, considering you already have dozens of comments by the time I get here
The new style is very cool, it looks almost liquid in its smooth simplicity. And the eyes are perfect...

breid [2002-12-12 23:40:30 +0000 UTC]

This face looks so familiar to me somehow. I love this contented expression and the sense of ease I get from it. And as usual, your technical skills are top notch.

the-joker [2002-12-12 07:27:09 +0000 UTC]

Nice one again...It has that "sketshy" look....But it still catches her expression very well....
Those big eyes looks really sad....
Think I have seen that stockphoto before..Recognized the look already from the small screenshot on the devwatch...
Wonderful as always...

ivanovic [2002-12-12 00:38:36 +0000 UTC]

Another solid effort. Not quite as smooth and flowing as much of your previous works, but I would assume that's what's meant by change of style.

Oi, I think you're catching it is I had, your eyes are a bit crooked. Otherwise it's your usual brilliant self! And it also reminded me of a pewxi drawing. Maybe it was the eyes.
