Haha, I think I've waited longer though davinci. I mean that one collab I started with FM way back when will probably never get finished. I dunno, I might just finish it and get it out of the way, but we'll see who the record holder is then lol.
Nice work you did here, man. I bet the frets and guitar strings on the guitar were a pain in the ass :P. I think you did exceptionally well on hid left hand there too. Nice finish even after all this time :).

Yea I forgot how long some of yours have been ...

This is really well done. Hope to see more like this in the future. good job.

I was sure this was going to be a Crimson King.. nice work here..

Yeah i was sure this was Joes... Awesome.

There is so much depth in his face with minimal shading
nicely done

Thank you everyone, your comments make me happy :)

Awesome drawing! I love the crosshatch work...

Your pictures are always very bold and interesting. This is very nice work.

I would say nice things about this, because there are a lot of nice things that you've done. However, when you only focus on other people's negative work (with the exception of the few people you think are too cool to critique), it makes it harder to do that. This picture could be a lot better if you made the transition from the waxy girl a little more consistant. I think you quit on it, which is easy to do. Good job on the nostril and the lips, but the bridge of the nose is weird and the eyes look like the skin is peeling off of it. Of course, it was supposed to be that way @_@! With more practice, maybe you yourself can be in that small group of people that you won't harass. There are degrees of crappiness and your standards are too high. And, there are degrees of tactfulness, and your standards are too low.

Okay....I just read all of that ^ and I am halfway confused because I think some comments have been deleted/removed. So KO I just want to tell you that I only visit 2draw to look at everyone's contributions and I comment on those that amaze me or those that I feel I can help out with my comment. I ignore and skip over all of the other mess/gossip/in the end just words that have nothing to do with art. This way I "protect" myself from becoming so upset about the latest topics taking place here. That enables me to continue visiting this site.

Now on to the more important thing, KO this is an amazing drawing! When I first saw it and that you drew it, I was soooo proud at how your skills have grown. Her nose, lips, chin, and cheeks are excellent! I like the extra bit of pink/purplish color you have added there. And the teeth add nice detail to her expression (which I also love). The outline of the eyes is not just right, and her eyebrows don’t quite fit the rest of the face. I also think that more emphasis would have been put on her expression and face if you made all of her hair black (or leave only a very few highlights) and remove the partial ear. Make the viewer wonder what is this girl looking at that is causing her to have this facial expression.

I am glad you incorporated your different style in the background. This will be one of those drawings that I think about and have to go back to look at it again. Thanks Knockoff :D

Welcome back, knockoff. I like the mix of styles.

yeah i like the ones you do like this. they make you think.

Awsome as usual ZEP! I really dig this one. :}

If truth is the desert, I'll stick to the fantasy. It looks so lush. :)

Very nice. It'll be super when yer done :)

EEP! How did I miss this? Oh well better late than never. I have to say I prefer Michael Crawford myself but this is a very nice rendition of the movie guy. His nose on the mask side seems a little uneven and the rose is a little flat but you're not done and I'm sure you know that. Very awesome dixie!

Zep your drawings scare me....

mmm...i hope not ALL of them Amber :)

Ohhh I like the revisions and stuff. It's like the she's in different locations; like she's traveling. hehe good job!

Lovely pic!

Thanks for the comments you guys. :'D But the sky was really a lot smoother then it is now; I'm guessing that compression left its ugly mark. D:

I'll try to do better next time, with less jagged lines. (Holy crapcakes! Did this stay in Advanced? I hope it stays there! *pinched self to make sure she isn't dreaming* Ouch...)

Oh man...you captured the pure beauty of it perfectly...I went there a few years ago...and all the memories came flooding back...

I dont really find your style that appealing, but do appreciate it for all the time you put into it with the little details. Still, the arms, boat, and water look unfinished.
