Description This is Meredith, Sai Amayashi's character from gaia, actuly this was a comission *dances*

yeah that is a butterfly on her nose and not some kind of facial growth XD its supposed to be cute understand yeah there are lots of butterflies all arround her really and petals to ^^

Took about 19 hours and was done in watercolour, hard to see online, my colours are a lot richer now in real life

Old now but always willing to hear feedback

The purple-family range of colors is interesting, and I still can't get over that title. Butterfly, flutter by, I love it.

This is a really nice piece, I love the way you've splattered the paint, it gives a really magic effect, and its fab that you use traditional mediums.

Well done...keep up the good work.

Hey, thanks for your comment.
The comission was taken on gaia but the character is actuly original. I prefer original characters as they usually have more intricate clothes and are more interesting I find ^^
thanks again!

dominique871 [2005-02-19 12:15:29 +0000 UTC]

That's really beautiful - love the detail. The colours are pretty similiar to your previous tries, why don't you try experimenting with some different colous? I'm sure you'd be able to create a different and more outstanding effect with the level of talent you have.
Anyways, excellent work as usual. Good luck!

Frayed-Symphony [2005-02-19 11:42:13 +0000 UTC]

19 hours?!? Wow! That much effort is definately worthy of some constructive comments.. The dress and shoes are beautiful... I so wish i could draw traditional art as well as you ^^ you have agift with combining colours and perfecting little flaws and details.. how long did it take for you to get this good? The butterflys are so minute and delicately detailed... I honestly can think of nothing that would improve this piece... But i have no idea how you think up so many neat poses.. Keep up the excellent work!

Seriously, this is outstanding. The way the colors stand out, they almost seem like they sparkle. I know, that sounds weird but they do! It's awesome *nods*
I really like the outfit too. Excellence. ~~~ <--yes these things to make the excellence look pretty.

Wow...that's some great watercolouring skills. I myself love to use watercolouring. I wish I could do backgrounds as pretty & sparkly like this for some of my work, but I am learning, though. Yep...like I said...gorgeous watercolouring, it is so smooth & flawless looking.
