I loved the movie when I was little, and I have read the book about four times. It is a strange and somewhat dark story. Great drawing, I really like the dark blue swirls of the water.

Thankyou muchly!

I have yet to find a copy of the book. I know I'll probably like it a lot when I do, though.

this is pretty. I think I saw this movie once but I can't remember anything from it D:

The first time I saw this was years back and I adored it, till some of the actors sang the songs (note: Don't sing if you can't) Beautifully done goat. You got her likeness and the soft look of a reflection. My favorite of yours so far.

Fried pickles, drunk chicken, craw fishing in the creek
Wild turkey, deer jerky tough as Tarzan's feet
Hot women skinny swimmin', barely belly button deep
Turn muddy river water into sweet, sweet tea
Hayloft lovin' in the holler behind the house
No doubt about what I love about the South

Broken

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Aug 30, 2006)

Wake up to a sunny day, not a cloud up in the sky
Then it starts to rain, my defenses hit the ground
And they shatter all around, so open and exposed
I found strength in the struggle
Face to face with my trouble

my favorite of your's. no doubt.

Sweetcell (Sep 19, 2006)

Something I thought I commented on. One of my favorites of yours, the texture adds so much to the piece, making it seem more like canvas. If someone were to see this they would think it was a Degas, that was my first thought as well. Just beautiful Miss Cindy.

The hand and arm seem overly large but I love the crown.

George_Goat (Jul 29, 2006)

It was meant to. I wanted the Queen to look as miserly and greedy as possible, and quite a bit manipulative.

Actually I tried to put a ton of symbolism in this, which I will probably forget later anyway. =D So I might as well write it all down!

The black pit in the background symbolizes (mostly the sphere and cat) being trapped in the darkness and chaos that the queen has control over. While the person who represents the sphere is trapped within her claws in a bad position, perhaps they are a sphere of light because they already found out what she was like and now she is draining them of everything she wants, yellow bolts of upset and stress shooting out of them.
The cat can still try to reach for the outside, the light of the situation, even if it also has loyalties to its greedy master. I also made the Queen's stomach pouchy, to symbolize an over usage of wealth or affluence. This is also why I used a lot of green tones, to symbolize the wealth that she keeps all to herself and lies about.
The golden tones in this picture are cast only by the crown and jewlery, simply material extensions; I was trying to show that her actual noble, righteous heair, is indeed only a false act she casts over herself.

The overlaying shades of pink/fuschia, what I tried to make a more unnatural shade purposely, was what I thought would look like her false sense of compassion. The cat is still affected by them, is still unsure about them, wants to believe they are real.

The red directly in the middle of her crown and pendant was me trying to show that she is ruled very much also, by anger, along with the greed, and the blue veins in her hand is her sucking the power and will out of the blue sphere, as it begins to dwindle down.

Can she magically create donuts?

Ookami-sama x Koinu-kun

" Stoooop~! I'm not gay! I'm asexual! "

xD Pook Koinu-kun. He has no sexual preferences. He just loves people in general, though not in the way Ookami-sama wants.

people aren't supposed to give constructive criticism, but people are supposed to post in the proper board according to the skill it took to draw the picture.

I don't owe you anything Airin.
I'm not required to expound and I chose not to, it's not worth it.

DieChan (Mar 10, 2006)

Not hidden because I need some constructive criticism for the (semi) manly anatomy. Just don't flame the picture, and also take my styl into consideration (i.e. the arm length. I always draw long arms/legs.)

Took fleeting_memory's advice and tried to put the arm more into the foreground. :\ Man, this lineart is fun.

sephiroth54321 (Mar 11, 2006)

The right arm isn't too long, i think the left shoulder just looks a bit odd, try making the lower half of the curve "come out" more.

SanzoGirl (Mar 14, 2006)

I think it's really good, but the forearm isn't long enough. :P

Hunters

Sweetcell and patienceisoverrated (Jul 4, 2006)

Hey one and all, I'm looking for soemone to do the male equivilent of her. Her partner. I at first thought Assasin/Ninja, but now I'm thinking more along the lines of Vampire Hunter. Someone with an eye for anatomy (though not over precise) and if it's anime I don't mind, so long as it blends in with her.

And don't worry about the background, I'll be doing that. Japanese art, chest, armoir and weapons.
