lovely, i like their faces so much.

The whole drawing is awesome :)

Love this!

I've been meaning to comment on this since I saw it some time after you first posted it, didn't do it just then and since have been too lazy to go looking for it when I was here, which isn't often anymore. Just now as it came up in the Showcase thumbnail strip I realized if I didn't do it now, I might never. You know I've always hated you because I'm so jealous of your talent, and loved you because you're so very real, which is rare. (and because you always inspired me to strive to do better)
This, I believe, is one of your best paintings, because as a self-portrait I see in that expression the Staci I think I've come to know and love/hate here. ;) Along with being absolutely perfect realism, you've done the impossible "capture the expression" thing... something that almost NEVER happens in a portrait. There's depth in those eyes, something fascinating behind them. Some people see that in the Mona Lisa and say that's why it's so upheld. (One major difference there is that I think she's ugly and you're beautiful, so... ONEUP on that one for sure... hah)

I've looked at this a lot of times and been blown away every time. I just now realized what I like about it most, the way you slightly exaggerated the things a camera does when the shot is a little overexposed and the flash is causing it. How the light shows the details in the skin in a way normal vision would never pick up on. And the corona of color around the iris. And the way the hues of the skin tones are uniformly off. It's a great painting of a 'bad' photograph. That and the killer cupid's bow mouth.

yes! you totally get it. this is a HORRIBLE picture, horrible. Bags, blotchy skin and all. if I had a zit that day I would have drawn it in as well. thanks!

Those swans bite, you know. I'd cover my boobs if I were her. lol
Can't wait till the finish!

That's awesome.

!!!dang!!!

wow! this is awsome and it looks very tasty!

*rams iinto screen* I CAN SMELLL IT!!!!!

dang. its really awesome that the highlight is pink. miss you.

..... gorgeous.

Yes babes?

dang, all versions.

Oh so smooth.....and I love the depth this has, especially there where his arm/shoulder disappears. Fresh and new with a classic look about it...luv it!

Very nice details on the skin! Awesome the way it's coming out of the water.

dang! miss this shit.

you know, i had a dream once about a six-winged red dragon. This is really awesome, the colors give it a really ethereal feeling

wow, that's literally one of the nicest images I have seen in awhile when it comes to oekaki. The lines, the blending, and compostion are very smooth and well done. It flows nicely and has no hard edges. It has a dreamlike quality. ♪ I also really love how you made the color of the clouds relfective on the scales of the body. ♥

dang :O

eek <3

This picture really is thought provoking. When I first saw it it struck me as being very cool but didn't really understand the story it was trying to tell until I just stared at for a few minutes to absorb everything. I THINK I know what it's supposed to mean but it probably is one of those that means something different to whoever looks at it. Every little part has some meaning. Very cool and wonderfully drawn.

dang. know-what-i-mean?
