go read silent spring, perhaps depressing depending how you look at it.

all this talk about reading is giving me a headeache, arrgh... *runs away pulling hair*, hehe j\k... reading aint so bad i like reading the back of food labels and the subtitles on TV!

ha reely good drawering but i get to go to bed when i want usually like 12-1 in the morning

I would fix the hair and eyes, but the picture refuses to load back into Lascaux. Oh, well. I think it's because I forgot to combine all the layers into one before I submitted it. And Joe, you are SO LUCKY.

Edit: Nevermind. My computer was having trouble with the applet. Perhaps I was on the computer too long the day it wasn't working.

Off Da HEEezy!

in other words, I wikes it awot :3

Hehe... Doodlibop, I know what off da heezy means... it's a glorious slang term (forgive me, I'm a dork that likes drawing lovable punks) Yah... after living in the gang capital of California for a couple years, you pick up that kind of terminology. XD I believe that some would call this picture (and most of the other ones) "the shiznit." Hehehehehe(snort)hehehe

Edit: The severe lack of background in this makes it hard for me to sleep at night. One of these days I'm gonna do one that's worthy.

Which one? I wanna know

the on with the blue hair just look on her profile

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>

thank you... senshi's eyes are always mmy favorite

this is very beutiful!!!!

=3

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
