You've really captured a great expression here. I especially love the depth to the eyes and the detail, great stuff!

Thanks a bunch. Detail is a four-letter word! :)

Oh wow
The eyes are really pretty :O

Thank you! So many crazy hours spent on them.

Looks really beatiful,not detailed but still awsome ^^

I absolutely love it. The only thing I wish u'd do is add more value into the white fur...i know it's supposed to be white, but it's too flat and all seems to just blend together...no texture and what not.

Thanks for the complement and suggestion. Always welcome. If I can get the energy to come back to it, I'll add in some more details through the white. It's so easy to obsess over every hair, but then I'd never get anything done.

It's so beautiful tho. Yer pics like this are the kind of pic I'd wanna frame and hang on my wall.

Thanks again. You didn't even notice the complete lack of a background! :)

i like the lack of background. it contrasts the subject well.

Wow not only the eyes but the detail for the nose is there as well. Amazing job coloring this one.

Glad you like. It's where most of the time went. :)

The red adds just enough color to it. I think it's great. :D And the deep blue eyes I just can't stop staring at them....

Beautiful, beautiful eyes. They really are the mirror of the soul. =)

I'd say you captured her most excellently! I hope she likes it :)

One could get lost staring into that face. :3

<3 She's precious! <3

Wow. WOW. That's Marian, right down to a tee. That's simply gorgeous, a pin-up shot and a personality portrait all in one. I wish there was a +++fav button. Just beautiful!

I'm barely qualified to comment on technical stuff but I agree with various people above, that work on shading and depth will pay off at this point in your development. Not that there's any lack of it in those wonderful eyes!

Yay!

pure awesomeness XD love the eyes :)

Thanks!

WOW....this is very very Amazing and Stunning seriously,

amazing eyes and face~

Hey, I know her! :)

The other comments already say most of what I'd say besides that. Keep up all the good work, though!

Thanks. :) She is definitely her own inspiration for me, and you understand.

Nice!

Though I'm not familiar with "OC", I take it it's a paint program of some kind? The sides sort of look that way. As for the rest, it looks good! ANd personally, I find it actually easier to paint paint with traditional materials, as well as being faster. I've not yet met a digitizing tablet that.. "feels" the same as working with a real brush. If it was traditional materials I could offer you lots of advice on how to speed the process up and give you the look and feel of fur and what not! But when it comes to digital media, heee.. I bow to your superior kung-fu. And EVERY peice is a learning experience, I REALLY like the eyes. Wonderful job on the eyes. THat's almost allways where I start, first the eyes, then the nose and mouth, THEN everything else. :) If I muck up the eyes, I either fix them, or throw it away!! But the eyes are everything, at least, to me. Keep drawr'n! (as they say around here)

Thanks. I'm finding that electronic media is at least a bit more forgiving than real media, which is a blessing. I'm not getting as frustrated and tossing it all out. I can just back it up a bit and try something else. It's been more positive than real media for me. I'm sure people's mileage will vary. :)

Oh yes, working with 'real' media can be a challange to be sure, but MOSTLY the challange is to just 'accept what happens' and call it done. :) Like, for example, watercolors. You *CAN* fis things up a bit, but usually you just kinda have tohave a vague notion of what you want and try and get it in a couple strokes of the brush, unless you like uber detail, then it's paint little marks, let them dry, paint a bunch more, let it dry. etc. Time consuming, which is why I just splash da shit on. :)

hOLY mOLEY! That is quite awesome!

Thank you thank you. Wish I had the urge to put the finish to it but I spent so much time on it already.

I know this is old, but I'm setting it as my background. I could really use a husky right now. I'll have to settle for a warm blanket and this picture.

Once again, thanks.

=^-^= love it!!!
