Oh dear God of Hell and Heaven, here I go again. *Quavi takes a deep breath as she prepares to embark upon yet another scary stalkerish rant. Sorry if I'm freaking you out, dude.*

It was genius, the way you divided this picture into light and dark halves; and it was a nice ironic touch when you placed the "evil" character in the light half. In terms of composition, the shading is superb, the expressions and poses are so indicative of character. And don't even get me started on the hair...

I love your 'scary stalkerish rants' XD Keep them coming *swells up with pride*. I don't think I myself noticed those things about this pic, thankyou for the wonderful interpretation! and the fav

Someone loves my creepy rants! Yay! Maybe I /should/ look at more of your work. You've got so much interesting stuff...

You didn't notice the symbolism in this pic? But the composition was so appropriate and everything. Hmm. It must have been your mystical subconscious intuition whispering to you.

Maheera [2005-08-29 08:26:43 +0000 UTC]

Oh my! Holy Crap Merriya! That's beautiful. Like ScatterbrainFox I wonder how much time you take. And you DO have an eraser handy neh? I love the pari's wings. Very pretty. And shading is rockin' awesome! The dude's got a nice jawline. hehe. Great work again!

merriya In reply to Maheera [2005-09-01 16:46:31 +0000 UTC]

thankyou . I really should note the time, around 5 hours, I think...Yup, I do use an eraser. I can manage without one, but in th end the there would be some things which would not look quite right .

ScatterbrainFox [2005-08-29 01:41:08 +0000 UTC]

looking at stuff like this always makes me wonder... how long do you take for pictures like this one? And, even more interesting: do you erase a lot? o_o I'm asking this because I myself am horribly slow and take about half an hour on faces alone (and you know how the faces I draw do NOT look like that, as they're much more simplicistic than the ones you draw, for instance) and couldn't live without an eraser at all your stuff always looks like you don't erase anything I want your skills
I like the Pari's hair (swirling, d'uh xD me + swirlies = love <3 ) her whole body, especially the upper body looks pretty cool °_°d
azraq's lower third of the face (nose to chin area) looks a little longer than the rest and his mouth pretty small and pouty if you compare the length.... o_O but I'm being very nitpicky here.

merriya In reply to ScatterbrainFox [2005-09-01 16:40:24 +0000 UTC]

Wheeeee for the comment and Thankyou so much.

^______^*smilesmile* I *think* I did this in two sittings over the span of 5 hours, but I'm not sure, For some reason I never note the time 0_o. You want my skill(and remember, much impatience included)...I'm teh flattered ^____^. Well, being in art college does make a difference . I'd like to own your abilty of neat clean lines and pretty colors aswell. Otherwiswe sometimes I have a feeling i'm edging towards abstraction x_X

Oh nitpicky-ness is essential! And I thankyou for that. I can usually find larger mistakes by flipping pictures upside down, but smaller mistakes are sooo difficult to pinpoint. For instance, I felt there was a little something not quite right with Azraqs face, but I just could not tell what, eventually I thought there was something with my eye's XD. Now that you've pointed that out its all clear..and a relief.
