I Thought you might like to know that I've featured this piece as a "featured favorite" in my DA journal, becase it's inspirational, and has always been a favorite of mine!!

If for any reason you'd like it removed then just yell and I'll sort it.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful work with the world

Whoa! This is beautiful. I love your use of colors, and I REALLY love the woman's face. Her eyebrow shape is really... yeah, it adds something.

The smootheness, the boldness.. everything makes this picture just amazing. I like what the image suggests, too. It would make for a nice/weird dream.. I want a dream with those sort of colors D:

X'D Well, maybe I could liquefy it and inject it into your brain when you hit REM sleep. *rolls* Dreams would be so much more fun if they were like drawings.

:'B Thanks so much, too. Its an honor to have such an in-depth look into my crapolicious artwork. <3,000,000
Though, I must give credit to the chick who commissioned this, for the eyebrow. She took a photo of her and her man, so their faces are only slightly stylized.

Kissing is such a difficult thing to draw.

Interesting color choices. I like the flow created by the hair of both characters. Your inking is gettinger really good; very confident and smooth. (I gotta work on that. )

The color blending combined with the blown out highlights on the hair at the upper left is my favorite part.

madmen In reply to EtherealPanda [2007-06-27 23:40:41 +0000 UTC]

:'D Ah, yeah, the selectively missing bits in the line art on the guy's head is also my favorite. It's something I've been meaning to try for a good long time now. <300 Thank you, hon.
X'D Though, the actual line art isn't as smooth as I would have liked it to be. I hid a lot of accidents by working them into the image in creative ways. I guess I've sort of begun to use the line art as a kind of "step one of the coloring/shading." :'D And it works quite well, to my surprise. Thanks for bringing that to light.

This is gorgeous! Love the purple and warm tones, it fits real nice together. n.n

I really do dig this style too, feel free to do more stuff in it please! The lil' wispies add to the mystical-ness of the pic. The compostion is cool too, with the faces in the top corner and the hair/robes leading the eye down. Cool stuff indeed.
