You sure did! I can see why you'd be proud of that pic!

Nice light effects in particular.

Thank you very much. I'm very glad you like it. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything further I can do for you.

And I am grateful for any word-of-mouth you'd like to give me, as well, as it helps me establish myself and get new viewers. Either way, knowing I did her justice makes me feel really good. =)

WHOA.
this looks amazing... I can see SO much improvement in this piece when compared to your much earlier pieces...
I am very impressed.
ESPECIALLY with those hands!!

like... wow seriously I almost don't know what to say haha XD just those fingers, the positioning, the claws, the angle...
it looks very very good, and anatomically correct, too!

and the lighting effects and shadowing contrast are lovely! :D I especially like how you used the blue to shade the white rather than a gray.
it really helps to amplify the lighting around the center where the pentigram is.

this is fantastic, definately one of my favorites yet from you!

eep also /random///
aha I has a neclace that looks like that weeeeeeeeeeeee<333
just mine is a pentacle not a pentagram >w<
but that had no relavance to anything.


ooh and I really like the hair too~ almost forgot. the way it falls looks really good... I always have issues drawing bangs...
maybe I'll use this as a ref XD <33

awesomesaauucceeeee work sis!!! <3 keep it up!
I am so very impressed with this one, wow, I can't say it enough. I can't wait to see what comes next <3

*Smiles so gratefully*

Wow... I just don't know what to say, sis... Thank you so very much. I really wanted to do my very best and make this picture memorable. And I had an idea for what I wanted to do with it before I even began. I am very, very glad that the work shows through... and the idea that you'd use it as a reference? One of MY drawings...? *Blushes deeply, still smiling* That is really amazing to me...


You are so wonderful... thank you, sis. *Smiles, a little tear coming to her eye in her gratitude*

-hugs tight- heck yeaahs!
I'm not a pro you know, I still have tons and tons to learn about artwork! <3
no matter what level we're at, we all have our strengths and weaknesses...
and learning from each other is what makes us great :)

I actually learn a lot from younger artists... younger meaning they haven't been drawing as long as me, not actual age hehe :3

especially you. theres just... something in your art that makes it stand out.
I can see the effort and the emotion and love you put into it. to me that makes it better than some of that crazy good stuff other people do.

this piece is definately very memorable, you did a wonderful job. your efforts really really payed off... you better know that! ^-^ <3

I agree with you about learning about art. I know it's a cliche, but I genuinely feel that with each new drawing I do, I learn just that much more, and get better at my methodology. Like... when I first started I never, ever did skeletons for them, and would meticulously draw out every part individually. I first experimented with skeletons on the Firelight drawing, and laboriously applied them as best as I could on the Blaze and Erin drawings. By the time I got to my fan drawing for Rohein, I started realizing I really wanted to get better at drawing hands and feet. So I made it a point to very carefully picture the hand position and angle in my mind as I would sketch skeletons out, making certain I gave extra attention to them in particular.

Starting around the picture of Lenora and Tyrgana (and the other several I drew on Christmas), I really started just... "clicking" with drawing skeletons. It was just natural to draw out the shapes, connect them, add the details, and make real expressions and emotions on faces, such as on my avatar and Lenora's picture. I love getting better at making faces expressive.

I... I can't tell you how much it means to me that you see something special in my work. Because I do genuinely put my heart and soul into these drawings, always looking to improve; to make something good; to learn. And even right now, I've begun some rough general sketches for the possible Cynthia comic, and it is such an intimidating prospect. but I'm learning; I'm discovering things, I'm trying out ideas, and I'm having fun. I even have a great idea for another comic, starring a character from a great PS2 platformer called "Scaler." I can't wait to try it out sometime.

Thank you again for everything. I will keep doing my best.

:) :) indeed. indeed.

I usually do the same.... for me art is simply an extension of myself... the way I communicate. So I very much enjoy seeing someone else's artwork portraying the same kinds of emotion, expression... and just... you.

Ooooh I have that game! 8D Scaler is awesome <3 >w<

I can't wait to see more of Cynthia <33

nice! :D
