Description I go through different phases of obsessing over drawing an object or person. Well, this is the result of my obesession over carnations! ^_^
This deviation has taken the longest time to make, mainly because of the water. I spent ages trying to find a good tutorial on water. Finally, I just combined all of them and came up with the water the girl is standing in!
I'm quite pleased with how it turned out actually except for the background which is non-exsistant! I can never draw a good background...very frustrating.
I also started to experiment with the lineart to make it look softer and less prominent..hopefully, I got the right effect!
ANYWAY! Hope you like and enjoy!

PLEASE FULL VIEW! The thumbnail looks bad! >.<

I see that you have taken quite a bit of time on the water, which looks reasonably realistic. Well, its surface should account for the reflection of the character, right? The outfit design looks very nice and it seems to go very well in this picture.

I guess that this picture is fine without a complex background or no background at all, although this picture will look better with a background.

Well, maybe you're style of colouring is not that. Some people colour soft, some people dont. Thats what makes us all unique as artist ya? ^_^

Spirix In reply to rose-opal [2006-10-11 18:43:33 +0000 UTC]

True true
I just can't seem to make it soft. I am excellent at contrasting, bright colours but soft stuff doesn't work
Oh well

lol I just never like the fact that if I went into a foreign country, no one could look at me and be all like "She's Canadian" they would either think I am American or northern European. Canada doesn't have a look.

haha..thats true! ^_^ But heck, American or Northern European isnt too bad! Its very exotic?!

Spirix In reply to rose-opal [2006-10-19 15:37:28 +0000 UTC]

lmao

When I think of exotic I think of like Amazon Women warriors. The kind with with fur bras and spears that are 8ft tall. Or old world Eygtian.... with all the silks and gold.
