Wonderful pose! So emotive, the lineart is very elegant and the soft tones suite perfectly

Her poise is very weary and sad. It matches perfectly with her story. I like how shes standing outside the box of color. The brown is very warm and inviting, her standing outside mof it makes it feel more like she is not a part of that warmth.

Raven207b In reply to Shironotenshi [2005-11-27 07:00:44 +0000 UTC]

So, ya think she is worthy of being my first print? It took me a long time to make something I thought was worth it...

That's just fantastic.

The name Yuki comes to my mind when I saw the picture... she somehow looked like a snow princess.

I'm always hard on myself...I should be much better by now than I am. Not drawing for 8 years really killed my skills! I'm practically having to relearn it all....

It does get a bit distressing when I see where I was, and where I am now....seems rather unfair! But I just keep going and try not to think about what was...

Gunblade-Specialist In reply to Raven207b [2005-11-28 17:07:22 +0000 UTC]

Hey there ya go ^ ^ and try to not have many regrets, it just wastes time. I've learned that you just need to live life the best way you can or share it with someone else ^ ~ And a lil music helps me from time to time if i'm stressed, or a good nap...or if i'm just hungry ^ ^

Raven207b In reply to Gunblade-Specialist [2005-11-28 17:19:01 +0000 UTC]

Music is definitely a factor for me....some of my inspiration comes from it. I just keep working at my art, and keep trying to improve.

Gunblade-Specialist In reply to Raven207b [2005-11-28 17:21:15 +0000 UTC]

That's awesome, have you ever just blasted your music and sat there with your eyes closed and imagining things in your head? I do that often and i hope to create animations like the ones i imagine someday ^ ^

Raven207b In reply to Gunblade-Specialist [2005-11-28 17:25:26 +0000 UTC]

Definitely! That's where 'Billy's Got a Gun' came from...I was driving to work, and was listening to old Def Leppard. The mental image hit me so hard, I couldn't get to work fast enough it seemed, to get it sketched down! And it actually came out exactly as I saw it....that was quite a piece for me, and emotionally exhausting.

That's kewl ^ ^ But it's crazy when you imagine full videos of it. Like about my Rp character "Will" I imagine alot of stuff about him and what he does and he kicks A$$ ^ ^

Raven207b In reply to Gunblade-Specialist [2005-11-28 17:36:07 +0000 UTC]

Certainly is! I'm busy imagining stuff about Kodachi...can't draw fast enough! Poor thing has been ignored for almost 20 years and then I dig her up and go crazy....
