I like how her hair came out. It looks a lot like some of the hair I've seen on people I know.

Playing with a diff. program :]

I finished the background but for some reason it didn't submit that part I guess? Firs time using this program, it's not much different from PaintBBS though so it was pretty easy to figure out. :]
Fun program, I'll probably be using it more often.

She looks sort of like a ballet dancing vampire... : O

I like the faint lines in the background that give emphasis to her motions.

Ohh really nice technique on this one CV. The way you made it look like you did the face with dabs of paint is very striking.

Pence (Feb 26, 2005)

wow creepy but awesome. very interesting color style

respyre (Feb 26, 2005)

"I am not gonna tell you what I'm really thinkin'.... just take the picture, and I'm gonna check out my hair ok"?

What are your inspirations for your art?

Shanghai (Feb 24, 2005)

What is it that inspires or motivates you to make art? Do you want to be like a certain artist you've seen or are you trying to express something you feel or enjoy? Personally I can't remember far back enough to a time when I wasn't making art. I've always just enjoyed making it and coming up with fantasy places and people I could make "real" enough to be seen by other people at least. Probably why I've never been as interested in drawing from life as from my imagination.

drawn in 35 min

I tried everything for the damn BG... BUt... I can't do BGs!!! CRAP!! *cries and runs to eat pizza* Um, pizza ^^

Shanghai (Feb 25, 2005)

I like the background actually. It fits well with the picture and doesn't have too uch detail so we can better focus on the character's face without being distracted. I specialized as a background artist for several years actually, so for me it's foregrounds I need to work on...

bakuraiscool (Feb 25, 2005)

Ooh, nice job Cacau! You're improving really quickly!

StrawberryYamichan (Feb 28, 2005)
