Long, way overdue commission for Safyras (Another Attempt).
I did not like how the other one was turning out, so I started over. I think I got the expression down better with this one. I just hope I do not accidentally paint over the parts that really express the emotion which I do from time to time unintentionally...
I usually end up putting more time into my images because I, personally, have a hard time settling for "crap" from myself. When they say an artist is their own critic... with me it's crippling sometimes, lol. This is probably the 3rd or 4th attempt on Saf's piece, but this time I am sure I nailed what I wanted closer than the previous versions. :)
I will put the other one in scraps for now.

I agree with Zala, self criticism can be a complete and utter pest sometimes. A little is a good thing, it helps you improve; but too much is detrimental. I wish you success in finding the right balance!
That said, this looks great, and I do get a definite sense of emotion from Safyras' expression.
