Still wondering though... are the irises too close together, or the eyes as a whole?

And I can assure you the real thing looks mucho better than Michael Jackson! Though they have been mixed up before... lol

I dont see Michael Jackson. I like the right eye. She is pretty. Man you guys are harsh. haha
Oh..This is Somebody. I forgot I am on my Step Daughters id. lol.

Heh thank you Straw.... Some.... Sin! Well it's okay that people are harsh, I guess you really learn more and faster when people say what they think. Plus, compliments are much more meaningful too when you know people will tell you your draw sucks when it does.

kejoco thanks for the support ;) -I m not very familiar with all this oekaki stuff so your explanations where also very usefull for me- it seems that it isnt possible to fake an online drawn oekaki -which is a good thing- Im so tired of all that photo overpaints and stuff
Its no problem doing such a quick doodle in that time- I would guess some people would be much faster than 17 mins =) References are a good thing- especially for practicing basics like anatomy etc- but personally I usually tell that in the describtion along with a link =) so no this doodle was just something that evolved from doing it

Any hey maybe he ment that in a friendly sarcastic way =) in either way I found it funny ;)

kejoco-You really shouldn't assume that he/she was in fact insulting Elleth. It's like Elleth said, it could have been a sarcastic way to say that it's really well done.

As for the picture, that's pretty impressive for the amount of time spent on it. I saw some of your other works too. It'll be nice having you around on the boards :).

Nothing about the post indicates sarcasm
And seeing how it is still the only comment or anything done by this user i still say it was done by a jealous person who already has another user name here.

I'm also free to assume anything that I want

love the link.

I'm sorry. That was a generalized statement; not directed all at you.

Isn't that how all this got started in the first place?

nice rant. i agree. copying is a fine exercise as long as you credit the original photo. using your own voice is always a greater risk--which is why it's much more fun on all sides. in the fine art world, artists who do this sort of thing always add an indicator in the title. they'll say, "after ____insert artist's name". what gets me are those "pros" in galleries who blatantly lift another artist's style and call it their own.

I think the tongue and teeth should be a bit sharper, and the lips, a little softer-particularly the top lip.

The toung looks real, well done!!!

Nice job...
>_<

I actually used a picture from deviantart as a reference.
If you were on there you might have seen it
if i can track it down again i'll post the link

I like how you did the shine on the hat. You have a nice style that's coming along wonderfully....

niceee :D

Aural mollusc...please.

very interesting, i like your approach to drawing.

One of the only ways to give form to the impossible.

Looks just like him.

Creation by Frankenstein?

Cool. Same one I did last year. :}

he ROCKS! This reminds me of your Batman drawing from a while back. Brilliant.

american smile????

How do those crazy americans smile??

Literaly, right? Nicely done.

Amazing eyes, colours, style. I look forward to seeing more from you.

i find this painting of mine a bit odd....it reminds me very much of some russian style paintings/statues...almost communistic, but not as good of course

I don't know what you had in mind as your initial intention for this piece, but if it isn't what you envisioned it would be.... be satisfied for what it is now... it's a very interesting piece of art. I like the way the lines and colors meet and are all fluid together. You achieved something very aesthetically pleasing here.

i wan on i want one good stuff mmmm
great pic really like the fome

That ice is some of the best I've seen on here. Excellent job, laurael.

Mmm... why. must. you. advertise. Coke. Mesa wants. >.<
