lol whoa this is interesting. the subject matter is pretty 14A-ish I'd say lol since the blood and scars on his face in his reflection on the water is pretty intense. But overall it's a pretty cool pic. good job.

This is much better than animation cell quality. The shading in animation ('cell shading') is usually limited to two or three distinct shades per color. I think the kind of shading here is called 'gradient,' and to produce an animation where every frame was shaded to this kind of gradient quality would be an utterly insane undertaking. The shading in Disney movies is better than most, but still not this quality.

As for Disney itself, I have no doubt ED could get a job there. But unless you're 'the best of the best', you'll end up doing little more than drawing repetitive frames of someone else's characters to smooth out the work of the lead animators, and might not even get your name in the credits. Additionally, while working for Disney, any artwork you produce, even at home with your own utensils, belongs to Disney. I would hate for ED to work where her art would go unappreciated.

EverDream (Jul 2, 2004)

Thank you for your support Zack. I've considered working for the Disney companies long ago, but the idea of sitting constantly and repeating drawings of something someone else came up with just didn't appeal to me. You don't even get to colour them you know? Any wayz I'm shooting for one of three things, either becoming a digital illustrator, a game character designer, or tatoo artist. :D

Gah! I thought I had commented on this already a long time ago. Now I must slap myself.

Okay, that being done, I must say this is fantastic, Dixie. The subject is great (I chuckle every time I see your user icon) and you did a wonderful job capturing the expression and blending the skin tones. Bravo!

Very pretty picture Mister :) The choppy look is kinda nice really. I'm not sure who Monica Bellucci is but nonetheless she makes for a very nice picture.

laurael (Jul 11, 2004)

She 'is' beautiful, but when I see the thumb, she reminds me of Linda Blair in her younger days. This is awesome, actually misterJ...I really love your skills... :)

Cordelia_Pink (Jul 11, 2004)

she looks pretty. looks familiar though. hmm. can't quite put my finger to it. oh well. well, good job. keep it up.
