Of your pieces, I like this one the best. Really nice details on the eyes.
Im just curious, why do you do this on a computer? Why not go and do this like through oil on canvas or something? That'd be so much cooler than how already very cool it is now. haha just a thought!
Thanks for all the sweet comments guys! c:

She had watery gray eyes, along with a depressed look. Upon her hands lay her ring, what all strive for.

Thanks everyone for the likes and comments <3 I appreciate it!
I'm glad some noticed that she is wearing lilins ring, haha. And I know the hand isn't perfect, hands are very very hard to draw and even harder to paint And afterall I'm still learning!
[quote=Snowland]wow awesome, can you post the npc picture also? D: I bet most of ppl doesnt know how lili's looks like 1+ of course![/quote]

[quote=LowWillpower]It's aight, but you know how picky I am with my amazing artistic talent.[/quote]
I know, I know. I will never match up to you oh amazing justin ;__;
[quote=Zasher]Awesome ...4 weeks? o-o[/quote]
haha, well of cours I haven't been working 24/7 and not at all on some days
[quote=Rationale]i don't enjoy the symmetry and the centering. i understand that your drawings are meant to have a realistic look to them, i believe adding light cool colors (more than you already have) to the face would add to the cool effect. putting color where you may not normally see it can really change the mood of the drawing (don't be afraid xD). i'm also concerned that it took 4 weeks, i don't think you should slave yourself over a drawing. that's my opinion but i hope you think about some of the things i said and become an even more superb artist than you already are. [/quote]
You're right, haha. I am a bit afraid of doing that at times, I already tried with the blue and purples on the face, but I know I need to go into it more overall! It takes time to get used to I guess.
And like I said above, I didn't work 24/7 and I had a few days where I didn't feel like working on it at all. On the days I worked on it I only worked about 3-4 hours
[quote=twinklefish]this is so so gorgeous omggg
please link me to the da link so i can favorite it ;_;[/quote]

[quote=shademix]Dont get me wrong i am not sexist, but why only women? Make a guy art?[/quote]
I simply enjoy drawing females more, and honestly I'm not very good at drawing guys, haha. I have tried before and they always end up looking like manly girls
I won't give up trying tho!
[quote=rumflakes]her hair looks like its made from the same material as the fur on her hat/clothes...[/quote]
Uhm, you mean hair? haha, fur is just hair afterall
[quote=KrisHoe]@Lanique, do you suggest the Bamboo Fun tablet?[/quote]
Yes, I do. I think it's a great tablet for beginners and I never had any problems with it!
[quote=Usernameman]This is awesome and all, but why are you wasting your awesome talent painting Maplestory? You could do some professional work[/quote]
It's just something I enjoy
[quote=DruidMight]you are SO good, you know that?[/quote]
Look who's talking
If any of you have any other questions you can always pm me! And thanks again, It makes me smile to read all the sweet comments! (:
Everything looks great. Well played.
But if you are open to constructive criticism, the hand needs work.
you are SO good, you know that?
ugh. [i]brilliant.[/i]
i admire your attention to detail in your work, more than anything. the feathers and such are flaaawless.

i wanna create alternate accounts to like this, but im not allowed D:
I'd tap that.
You're a goddess. Just omigod and never stop posting these
Why's she crying? She's usually really stoic. But you did a great job.
it's very pretty, but sad. Why'd you make it sad D: *gets sad* lol
Oh my god. Oh my god.
She's so beautiful D:<
LF>a girlfriend that looks like that
I just...woah that is beautiful.
Haunting masterpiece.
first thing that came in mind when the window opened was WOW.
then i looked and it was if she was looking right through your eyes into your whole being.
It is realy an awsome pic and a verry nice style
it looks SO realistic i LOVE it.
Tell me, dear, why are you so good. ; - ;
I worship your realism at the throne. <--Is currently failing AP Studio Art for not being able to draw portraits
she suppose to have broo hair D:
this is so so gorgeous omggg
please link me to the da link so i can favorite it ;_;
god dam she's hairy. nice drawing
Another great work by my favorite artist on Basil. Personally I liked your Evan the most.
50 mesos says this one's going on the best of all times page. gj but that hair looks gorgeous.
Edit: that bg is so hot. fur shading and facial skin texture are lacking, but the lips, the tear, and the hairhairhair are too impressive
Oh my goodness. That is very amazing. Please teach me your ways Sensei..
This is beautiful. :')
Oh my..
for such an amazing drawing, i still win not (+1 like) it.
You got lazy, and that ruined the effect.
The hand looks like the hand of harry potter after he lost all his bones in it
The neks is ody shaped, and it just doesnt go with the face
and donot even get me started on the Back Ground -___-
The only reason i am saying this is because i know you could do MUCH better.
I'll be waiting for this picture after the corrections, or atleast remember to notget lazy on your next master piece.
thanks...
i still wonder why you only have 305 likes.....
you have such beautiful artwork, you grabbed attention to sheriffs too
