Description Commission work.

I had to make five character sketches, out of which I only made this one. Not enough time. So I ended up making this fairy (after looking at my pixie painting). I hate the pose though. It's so, so typical.

What a delicate figure ... reminds me of tinkerbel from Peter Pan .... you are quite a dress designer by the way .. like the details on the costume ... this is going on my desktop .... off comes God of Wind .... i wonder how it might've looked if the whole image had been done in shades of blue ... maybe montonous ... but then you like blues ...

It's not really that typical and she looks genuinely concerned about something. I can only imagine what ^_^

Well, be proud of how well you executed it then! Honestly, it's fantastic. I wish I had your talent.

Even the execution was a one night sploosh. Oh well, lucky night I guess, since sometimes I can't get a painting finished for weeks.

Thank you! ^.^ Em.. I wasn't really thinking about the light though when I made it... it just somehow formed by itself (and I take the credit! XD).

just-joey [2005-04-25 03:50:03 +0000 UTC]

typical isn't always bad.
and in this case, you do a wonderful job at making what can be seen as typical into something that's stunningly beautiful! ~_^

the whole things comes across as oh-so-magical without being overly-so. i love the way you do clothes - all shimmery and pretty, and again i'm in complete envy of your watercolor ability.
first impression - maybe a bit too much straight out blue in the background, but on the other hand, the brightness of the colors really does the picture justice...
you continue to amaze every time... ^^

Yakra In reply to just-joey [2005-04-25 11:38:17 +0000 UTC]

Welp, I do hope the magical feel is there atleast... Thank you! You all (That is you, Exarrd, and um... what do I call him... EvilTelephone (?)) always make me feel so good about my paintings - and they're not even that good! * them all*

Em... the blue is a bit much. I tend to go insane around ultramarine... ehem.

just-joey In reply to Yakra [2005-04-27 01:43:08 +0000 UTC]

it is a pretty blue, i can definately say that...

^_^ and you should feel good about your stuff. you really really really are an exceptional artist - one of the best that i've seen in a while - and i'm not just saying that.

(oh, and Exarrdian would be Denny and EvilTelephone would be Joel...just if you were interested...)
(glad we succeed. ^^)

who cares if the pose is typical for a fairy? o.o It fits the picture and her expression. Didn't you say once that you had problems with facial expression? I think this one looks very good and expressive. And I like the perspective.
Her dress and the colors are also sooooo nice *_* I adore your water color works!

Yay I'm improving with expressions?! I'm glad, when I made this I was thinking 'Drat! Another zombie!' Anyways, thank you very much. I still don't think this is perfect though..... hem. (Must improve!)

Hmm she looks concerned? ^^ I;ll fav this looks very full of spirit and life ^__^

Yakra In reply to EvilTelephone [2005-04-24 09:31:12 +0000 UTC]

Welp... I dunno, I still find this a very typical pretty girl/fairy/any delicate girly creature pose. Aaand... em.. yip she is concerned. XD Even when I was making this I was thinking 'What a typical girly pose!' and I started thinking how the silly girly fairy must be worried about getting a split end. Ehem. Soooo, yip, she is concerned. (I didn't really mean to show the concern bit though (since I doubt the people I made this for would have wanted that XD) - unconcious drawing?)

Oww I`ll kill you!!Be more proud of your work!!Its gorgeous!!The pose the colours and the green glow makes it all so magcal!
Its like she`s sitting on some huge leaf ^.^ very creative background!Her clothes look pretty nice too!Light and soft ..something a fairy would wear ^.^
Um is it me or she looks worried? o.o'
Again...must fave that one ^___^ all your drawings/paintings are jaw-dropping good!! XD

Yakra In reply to Exarrdian [2005-04-24 09:44:56 +0000 UTC]

He he... I always feel weird placing my name all huge-like on my works (since I hardly ever sign in the actual thing... my name is usually hidden around something like a motif or barrel.) Anyways, thankee! ^.^ I'll try to like my work more, but it's still not perfect! Have you seen most of the anime gorgeous-nesses other's make (you included!).

(The fairy's worried about a split end! The concern was supposed to be subtle though)

Exarrdian In reply to Yakra [2005-04-24 12:36:22 +0000 UTC]

Aw its not about to look perfect..its to have sparkle of life!You work does have that sparkle..^_^
I have seen those so called masters of anime drawings around DA..their work looks SOO perfect ..lines..background..everything!!...and yet..it has no life...it is just missing o_o'
So..I am proud of you (and you should be proud of yourself too) because you have that sparkle of life and magic in your work!!
