Description
**EDIT: Fixed-up version --> [link] . Because I agree with the border thing some people mentioned....I was a bit unsure of them too, but the comments convinced me. :] Also, I liked ^zlim's grass suggestion~Feradis of the House of Kamion, youngest sister of Day [link] (boy on the left). I have a migraine from coloring this--I originally wasn't planning to spend so much time on this one, but for some insane reason I did anyway~ O_o;;; Gah....I *hate* backgrounds....I'm so bad at them~ ;___; But I think it's because I've been looking at 's art a lot recently, and her uberpretty backgrounds inspired me. @_@ Anyway, technical info: 9 hours coloring, 0.5 hours sketch, Photoshop 7.0. I have mixed feelings toward this one--it took me too long to dislike, so I will say that I think it's somewhat decent. O_o (btw, zoe, i do see what you mean by jul's cenedra pic....it never crossed my mind until now~ @_@; )
And, as promised--the accompanying excerpt from the story I put her in:
"I thought about his words the next time I looked upon my baby sister. Little Feradis Kamion, fifth of our House, the girl who didn't speak. I tolerate her, I'll admit, mainly because of the latter; she has yet to learn the arts of politics mastered by those around her. .... A round and curious face, full of enough innocence to dole out to every one of these damn Senators deciding my fate. I guess she'll be one of them soon enough. I wonder why I even bother. .... I doubted she realized the crimes I'd committed in order to receive my title. To her I was just another arrival, probably meant to keep the Suzerain company. .... We sat in silence, and I saw her yawn and remove a gold ringlet of hair from her mouth. She moved closer and, heaving a contented sigh, leaned her curly head on my arm. Within minutes she had promptly fallen asleep." -- Dayneth Kamion.

Good gob on the hair and jewels. I'd say that the water needs more reflection, and some ripples, especially in the front.

Very nice work. Your choice of color is wonderful, and the picture is very soft and flows well. I do however second the comment that you have recieved previously on the background. It has the effect of a filter and flattens out your picture. And it seems like the tattoo on her hand is an afterthought. I would have liked to see the same love go into that one that went into the others, as it seems unfinished.

The color panel is gorgeous, I think - really enhancing the character (especially these golden tones in her hair, added to the reflections), and giving the whole picture an atmosphere full of light and peace. The look in her eyes make her seem very thoughtful, as if she was in fact seeing and knowing much more (about her surroundings, about the world...) than what people could usually think of her. I'm not very convinced by the borders, though... they seem to cut and disturb the picture rather than adding anything to it.

I really like the way you did those sparkly jewels. The back ground looks really awesome too as well as those plants in the foreground.
I also love the detail you've put into her hair. =3
9 hours or more worth the effort! I luv it!

Very bright and shiny colors. Catches your eye fast and stand out nicely. The hair is very nice also. But it took me some time to see what was going on. The reflections in the water from the grass makes it look like it's the same grass under water. Maybe that was your intention. But it's hard to catch first. Perhaps you could make the grass under the water a bit darker? Maybe that would make it easier to define. And also the borders in the top and bottom doesn't really fit. But other then that it looks great. Remember I don't want you to change anything. Just keep it in mind
