Hi!

This is pretty cool! I like the design, and the colouring style does really remind me a bit about Hyung Tae Kim's!

If you want any crits, I think the best thing I can come up with is that her face seems kinda flat, and her eyes doesn't really draw much attention. You know, since the hair looks so shiny and cool, I don't really focus at the eyes at all. That doesn't need to be a bad thing though.

Also, I see this was posted about a year ago! I hope I can get the chance to see some of your newer stuff soon.

See you around Uni!

Hyung tae Kim is awesome!
Although i don't see much of his style here... but it's your very own IMO.

you have hair like that? as in colour too? i'd kill to get my hair colour that way XD cuz my hair isnt very tolerant of dyes so nothing sticks, it just washes off.

and haha oh hell yea, i wanted to create a character that has an attitude and away from the mary sue's that's invading so many plotlines these days. ugh.

thanks for liking her dear X)

I HAD hair like that Just a tad brighter. I had lotsa colours, including rainbow (see my dA webcam thing). The most recent being pink, but it's pretty much blonde now... thinking of dying it blue without telling anyone XD (I have pink, blue and green still.) When it was red, my hair was also pretty much the same style as on the drawing, especially the front. The back was a big shorter, I think...
What kind of haircolour do you have? And not all colours stick very well.. Blue only lasted 2 weeks or so with me, while that red (which was a special thing) lasted for months, though it did fade away slightly, of course.

Thank you so much for that! I can't stand all those stupid girls in comics and TV and everything... It's why I started reading boylove, there aren't any stupid girls (that get all the cool guys...srsly, wtf?) in it

*_* so cool.

my current hair is like usual asian hair tho not jet black but black-darkbrown-black. last time i dyed my hair red, part of it and oh the colour was awesome but it only lasted like what a month or two? and i think before that, it was blonde for a while, cuz of the bleach then i wanted to put blue, but it turned green and i didnt like it so much so i made it red... ooh here's a pic of it - [link] (and oh yeah, that's my other account, photography account hehe, excuse my shameless plug)

after that i just left it and after a few months it just looks like it was "rusted".. so i dyed it like jetblack -blueblack- and lovedloved it! (pic lol- [link] ) but then it didnt stick and my bleached 'rusted' hair underneath starting showing again. DDDD: so i just chopped off my hair, and it was really short but now its grown out again and gosh im pretty much scared to dye it again!

you have to tell me how you maintain such shit ya know? i just have no luck with hair now :/

You're pretty^^

I still have the blue-ish green in my hair form the rainbow, but it turned blue...XD Too bad it was REALLY expensive to get all these colours, so I won't be doing it again anytime soon >.> My red hair faded to orange and yellow...

There's this brand called Stargazer that's cheap and very handy. You can actually use the bottles for a lot of times, without it going all bad. I had green in my hair from a bottle that was a couple of years old (did the test on my skin first, of course ), and it worked like a charm <3 Just the blue wouldn't stay, but it was a very light one, so I'm thinking of buying a darker one this week, if I can. Since the colours are so cheap and stay good for so long, it's great to try stuff out with.

I'm about as white as can be, and my natural haircolour, though it used to be blonde when I was a kid, is middle to dark brown. So I don't know if the things that work on my hair would work on Asian hair as well... I think you might need something stronger Always wondered how all those Japanese Visual Kei stars keep their hair so spiffy, but I guess the answer is lots and lots of money and stylists XD
Also, since I'm a very visual person, and I'm rather colourful in both personality and choice of clothing (my nickname is Skittles for a reason XD), I guess I don't mind spending money and time on the colours of my hair Even though I'm really, really lazy, and usually wait until it's all faded til I recolour it... >.>' Plus, if I look relatively 'normal' for too long, I go crazy XD That's why I've had so many funky hairstyles (I should make a slideshow of it sometime); I don't do piercings or tattoos, apart from earrings in the normal place, but I use my hair and clothes to express myself^^

...I have the same hairstyle as my comic alterego (a boy) now, and when I get it blue, I'll even have the same colours XD I got two long black (though they're kinda brown now...) tails at the back, and a wild bob as main style

Wow, I hope everything made sense... it's almost 2 AM here


PS: if you can't colour it, why not try coloured hairextensions or something? I was thinking about little braids with funky colours myself sometime. You could even use normal threads of coloured fabric!

Haha, will do! ^_^ How often are you actually online though? Sounds to me like you got your hands too full to chat. xP Although I think I spoke to you last month, but you had to go.

And question: Would you get mad if I used "Azalea" in a wallpaper/sig/avi set? Even though I'm only an amateur? ^_^"
