: O?! weow then this must be..

Wow gig-This is my favoritest ever! You took so much time on it and it turned out perfect-I wish I had your skills *HUG* this should so be in the showcase

Why does DBA assume he learned to draw from his mom? /:) weird.

Very nice underwater view of a skate! <smile> It makes me want to experiment with more drawings of this type -- very nicely done, but also very inspirational, and that (to me) is one of the hallmarks of a good artistic creation.

Pretty cool man, those things are wicked. Gotta take a break from programming sometime :)

this is ancient

this is very beutiful!!!!

This is quite pretty, and though I do agree that there's a bit of difference in feel between the background and the foreground, to me it doesn't come across as being quite as extreme a difference as it apparently does to Turtlebuster. I particularly love what you've done with her hair!

My one question is whether her right (farther) shoulder is a little high, or whether it's intended to suggest that she's picking up her skirts on that side, and that's why her shoulder is lifted a bit out of true? Either way I try to interpret it, her neckline seems a bit out of true on that side, and so I've been wondering what you intended.

I've been trying to master poses similar to this one, and my eye for them seems better than my hands can execute so far, but I find it helpful to learn from others' work. As a result, I'm particularly interested in details of the pose, and how to make it convincing to the eye, that's why I ask.

Regardless of the answer, I still think she's quite pretty and eyecatching -- she really stands out, even at this small size and amid the assortment of other pictures in this portion of your gallery. <smile> I'm browsing through your pictures in chronological order, to see how you got to your present skill level, and seeing your earlier works is encouraging -- it gives me hope that with practise, my own work will likewise progress in skill, from the "merely pretty" (no insult intended) to the "truly stunning", as yours has. <smile>

its Mizz Dixie outside her castle!! very purdyful

This is pretty! It rather reminds me of the Elizabethan Barmaid I'm working on at the moment, actually, I was kind of surprised to see another piece here so similar in appearance. <smile>

By the by -- in answer to your question, it's spelled "renaissance", meaning "rebirth" (which is how I remember not to double the "n", because it's re-naissance, if you break the word down into its component parts).

And, not to be picky, but the costume isn't renaissance in style -- that would be more like your classic "Romeo & Juliet" style of clothing. This dress style is more like those from about 100 years later, at least; but it's well executed, which is what matters -- <smile> -- not a slip of the tongue in labelling the era.

And yes, I know the style of dress is common at "Renaissance Faires", but they usually include a mixture of historical eras in their costuming, etc., which I think confuses people. <wry chuckle>

I think this is great...very orginal and very well drawn...

Ki~ku, good job! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ *applauds*
...You have fans. Lucky. *mutters*

This is really awesome, I can't wait to see the rest of the series!
