Holy Moly how did I miss this one. It does look just like a photograph - wow and it didn't take you very long to draw this either - man I'd love to have one ounce of your talent. I hope you get paid for your talent because you could make some serious cash.

Holy Moly is right! I don't know how I missed this either. Your colors are always so intense and beautiful. You have such great talent that anything and everything you draw is such a pleasure to look at.

This is howcase material! Perfect and even better! That soft light flitering through the drawing is gorgeous!!! How very real this little creature looks! And the beautiful flower! Perfection Star!

Excellent job. I love all the different textures.

Hey Starz - the sheen on the gold satin is just TOO real! the fringing, the bell, the embroidery on the face - all amazing.

Terry......I can't believe I missed commenting on this. I have looked at it so many times and I guess I was so engrossed in all of the detailing I thought I had commented. I love the whole draw, but my favorite part about it is the one piece of cording that comes down from the bell. I can't quit staring at it. It looks like you could reach right out and take it from the picture, seeing the side of it and the perfect details you have put into it. Wow! Masterpiece is quite the understatement for this. Mardi gras memorabilia has always taken me aback, and this would be a perfect addtion to all that I already have.

Wonderful work. :)

So real looking! Right down to the tiny hairs!.....and oh those wings are so delicate looking!

haha that's cute. reminds me of the movie i saw last month: "The Bee Movie"

I just realizes Starz.....you are new here. I go look at so much art on these sites I see you so many places with your fine art. I just thought you had been here forever until I read that comment. Not that I take your art for granted. It is wonderful and I look forward to seeing it anywhere and everywhere. It blows me away! You have to be one of my favorite online artists.

Nice textures :)

Awesome draw Starz! I just adore your use of vibrant colors and details! And congrats on using layers! I imagine it'll be a long while before I stick my toe in that "paint bucket"....lol.

Wow , awesome! I love flowers, I have hundreds of flower pictures I've taken, close up and lovely, this would fit right in with my collection. Beautiful!

this is very pretty pink rose. I do not see many fo your draws here and it is nice to see one. You are so good at commenting.....and it is good to return the good wishes......
Flowers are fun to do, as are birds, ballerina's, faces, well......don't you just love to draw?

Thanks...yea I like to.. but I often don't have the energy, inspiration , or time.. so I just root through and comment

Well done sir. Well done.

Great job. The hair looks very good. I love browsing your gallery. You do excellent work.

*gasp* Hermione!! She was always cooler than Harry and Ron--those nerds. I knew it was her the moment I saw this. nicely done.

ah darling no you don't fail at realism, you are just a good manga drawer, is all. I stink at manga and do better with realism, our talents lay where our hearts do...but you have the potential of realism, it just takes plenty of practice is all, realism is a subtle art form, and manga is bold and decisive. I stopped on this because it is a good pic and well done, and is visually bold! good work

Looks like water reflection in a way :) Lovely art! I love all thouse colors, you are fantastic!

This is very cool. I love the bold colors

Glad you like it! My stepdaughter is getting married in Mexico on Wednesday. We're leaving in a few hours to fly there. I'm SO EXCITED I CAN BARELY TYPE!! This drawing conveys my excitement and the bold beauty of Mexico to me.

I thought nobodied ask xD
The nomain thing is really for a comic me and some freinds wanted to make..then gave up on.
Ok, so, a Nomain is like a neko. They have bunny ears (sort of) that hang down..not up(bunnies are freaks) and, depending on their type, can have medium, long, or really long tails. We had 5 kinds of nomain, earth,wind,water,fire, and 'fighting'(there's no good name for that element >.<) I'll do a little chart or something lateh that explains it all.
:] Happy Singles Awareness Day!

Oh...I get it.
cool
