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

In the thumb this pixelation reminds me of that spheres from nightclub. Trip-ish drawing :)

don´t know what the hell "Bill and Mandy" is but those are some trippy pants! sweet.

its got a nice feel to it, i especially like the fragmented colours (top left) - works well

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 really like the background on this. The floating island thingies and the clouds are very cool, and his skin tone is very well done.

I like the longing look he has in his eyes, and the little trinkets he has on his forehead and ears =D It's a really nice touch with the body and everything. I was never the best at drawing humanoids (Computer or Traditionally) and this is truely stunning =D Keep up the great work *claps*

mmh yummy collar bone <33 The face could use a bit of work *at stated in earlier comments* but I love your shading <3

fish! :D:D:D
I wike

yea, great colours, mood, everything - very good

oh how very cuteee :D <333

It is a little blurry, but the colors and composition are very nice.

I own a couple of kimonos; I find Japanese culture fascinating. I really like this picture, as is said concerning the composition and all. I don't really mind the lack of detail, it reflects the simplicity of ink paintings. I think, though, that it would be really effective if you maybe sharpened the lines defining the change between her back and the kimono, to really draw the eyes in.

Thank you everyone so much for the comments <3 I'm glad you noticed the kimono, I hated it as well but I left it as it was, I didn't want to make it look overdone but it could use a bit more work. And lycenee, thanks for your comment I'll think about that next time. ^^ <3

Thanks. I thought about leaving her unclothed after version 4, but that would have made it much more sexual than I intended this piece to be.

Very Good shading the gold looks good and that is one whicked thumbnail she got. Good Draw.

this is fantastic! the detail is wonderful..if yoga makes a body like that, where do I sign up?

What can I say, I'm a sucker for black-and-white. I really like the simplicity of this.
