Hey, this is amazing. Specifically: the drapery is just beautiful (the shading technique, with sort of warm shadows, just works perfectly); the forearm and hand are especially graceful; your subtle use of outlines is just great..there is some variation in thickness and color that just works perfectly to set off the central figure a bit. The owl is wonderful as well. I'm not crazy about the out-of-focus tree and fence in the foreground; to me, that just distracts from the beautiful core of the work. But other than that, just wow.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate such thoughtful feedback.
Yeah, the fence was there since the beginning, and then I added the tree as a matter of balance . . . I'm not crazy about it either. It felt so empty without them, though. I don't know. The choices we make, man. Still trying to figure it out.

I think we're all still trying to figure "it" out. Where's the fun if you know it all already?

I don't know. I guess a little relief could come of it.

I wanted to say something nice and kind, but I can't, when I look at this, I'm speechless... Amazing work!

Eksafael, this is a beautiful piece of work that you have created. I love the overall mood you have created of peace and serenity that come with the snow and frosty background at least to me in my own opinion and I also love how the background which is expertly drawn really blends together well. The anatomy of the character itself and the owl is flawless, everything is in perfect shape with no larger body-parts of somekind, and excellent degree of posture which is elementally drawn + colored. One of the best aspects that I appreciate from this artwork is the amount of attention and detail to the coloring of the individuals and background; there are tones of colors that work well-together and everything here is varying tones of white. I also love the extra added effect of the light that shines on the two individuals and how it is accurately reflected on the clothes + hair + fur and other things. Finally, I love how you have managed to take the perspective of looking as if it is a snap-shot placed in time (the blurred out tree and piece of gate) is well-throughout. Congrats

It's so beautiful!! I really love that arm/hand and the way it was colored. May I ask what you're quoting from?

Thank you!
And I'm quoting myself in a way. It's a line of dialogue from my fantasy novel series (in progress), from this character to another.
