Trancua...just wow. Normally I'll have a few points of improvement for you, but none today.
The first thing that strikes me is her hair! It's so beautiful, so detailed. I love the way you've done it.
Your anatomy is so great! You've made so much improvement with this one drawing alone. Her face is very interesting. I rather like the way you've done the nose and the eyes. It's somewhat reminescent of anime, but most definitely not it. I like the mix very much.
I've nothing else to say than "Wow."

And I have got nothing more to say, other than: "Finally. Klaora finds one of my drawings worthy of her time!".
Believe me, I'm overjoyed!! This is the first time that you think that I've hit the nail right on the head? Oh man, I could scream! I feel good for the first time in a long time!
Yay!! Oh man, oh wow!
Yay...! Ok, enough about that...
*cough* Very well, then.
Firstly, thank you. Secondly, I love you. Thirdly, thank you for noticing the hair! It was a pain, let me tell ya.
Now the body... Yes, well, thank you again! I thought that you would crucify me about that one. I found it to be rather disproportionate in relation to her head, but I like the way I defined it, so I let it be.
And the face, let me tell you, I'm proud of her face. Yeah, she's not exactly breathtaking, but thank you! Through faces, I want to let people know that there are other styles other than anime out there. I may be selfish, but my objective right now is disproving the general conclusion that says that anime is the only good style of drawing.
I love my Klaora. She always makes me feel good about meself.

HAHA! I'm glad that you are overjoyed. But do know that all of your stuff is worthy of my time or else I wouldn't bother with the critique. XD
Wow. I never expected this kind of reactionfrom you at all.
And I can imagine the hair to be a pain, trying to get all of those strands to flow correctly without them getting too dark or too light and not jagged.
And, yes, it's true that it's disproportionate, but it's a cartoon. Cartoons are supposed to have larger heads than normal people. Keep that in mind and use that to your advantage. And, nah, I wouldn't crucify you. XD I haven't the power to do so.
Well, keep in mind that not all women are supposed to be extraordinarily beautiful. That would just be unrealistic. But she is pretty for the character type that she is, in my opinion, so her face is very well done.
You're just a wee bit assumptious on the anime as always. XD Lighten up on it a little. I've learned to tolerate, if not like almost every type of art form there is now. But do know there are people out there who dislike it just as much as you do.
Other than it's overrated, what do you dislike about it, might I ask?
=3 I'm glad that I can finally give you the confidence that you have needed for so long. You work is never a waste of time.

<333
Hair... Drawing hair can get hairy, sometimes. At least for me. If I am drawing in my Wacom thinguie, in my haste and rush, I tend to draw hair in all of the layers that I'm working on. Then I realize it and go 'ah, screw it' and go to sleep.
Oh, right! I can always fall back to that! Thank you for reminding me of that!
D'oh, but when I look at girls, I always see them as the most beautiful beings in the face of this side of our galaxy. Maybe that's why I get dumped so soon and so often. Oops.
And anime... I already told you, didn't I? I think I did.
I said that I found it to be a little too degrading for the asian culture, too leeched on by non-asian cultures, not to mention offensive to my culture and religion and a little overrated and porny. Full of stereotypes and clichΓ©s... Not to mention shallow stories and hard to believe characters. They lack that ceratin grasp that other forms of entertainment have. BUT, I digress. I know that you're gonna own me in this kind of argument, so I'm gonna stop.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and hope that you, yourself, can overcome all the demons that haunt you. May the blessing of Tlalloc always be with you. <3333333

Indeed it does. XD
Aww, that's a shame. I'm sure that they'd all be even more wonderful if you took the time to finish it correctly. =3
And but of course.
Awww~ That's sweet. XD
But we girls, although beautiful in your eye, can also be evil. I wish you the best of luck in finding her, though. =3
I know that I've asked you, but I don't remember you ever telling me. Anyway, I do find that to be mostly true, but also, you are grouping it all as one thing.
Manga and anime itself, while an artform, have several different genres and there are those that are high-fantasy and those that actually are realistic. You just gotta look for them. =3
And, well, I'm not sure, so I'll just avoid this debate altogether. XD
You're very welcome as always. And I must thank you for that as well. Again, you're always far too kind with staying up with me so late on these hard nights. And I am so greatful.

Aww, you have to wait and progress naturally, though. Do your best with everything that you try and you'll get the furthest, fastest. =3
I am hoping that you can as well. I hope that you find that special someone.
Speaking of which, mine IMed me for the first time in weeks. I apologize for such a wait for your reply.
XD Awww~ You're just so nice at times. And know that I'm trying to do the same for you. =3 I'll help as much as I possibly can.
