thank you! I assume you mean, "the drapped material"? When I started to draw it I didn't think of it, then somehow I thought but then...I have some other idea about the contest... So, who knows, perhaps this will be one

No way it's a WIP. Everything looks just great. I love the sketchy feel to it and I have to agree it's a very powerful image. In my opinion, it's one of your best works.

Oh wow, this is really well done. Is she blind? Ah, she looks like such troubled woman...at times she looks rather young, and at times she looks rather old, it's a very interesting picture. *nod nod nod*

fallsmet In reply to mercurium [2007-05-10 03:02:39 +0000 UTC]
I lOVE this one, so...more of this? Or maybe you can try different subjects other than humans...lets say, something like what you did for "Musician's Life", I really love the concept behind that...
or something new all together! I really like your realistic art, it is soooo good :3 >.<
