I think it's gorgeous (sorry it's taken me so long to comment) I love the softness of it...... and that mesh.....that looks like such a lot of work....did you have to negative draw it in? Great work Jeremy!

Novastar2486 In reply to RTyson [2007-01-30 21:20:23 +0000 UTC]

Ah don't worry about it I kinda figured you were busy, we all have lives outside of DA right I wanted to emphasize the softness in this one so I am happy that it stands out As for the mesh I was gonna try drawing it negatively but it didn't look translucent enough so what I wound up doing is shading things from the back forward and then making eraser cuts for every strand of the fabric. The tricky part was figuring out which way the treads should be running in order to make th fabric look like it was curving in a certain way.

Thank you Ruth

Thanks Ken I am glad you liked it. The reference had the same soft feel to it so I wanted to try and do it some justice. I am happy that you noticed that!

I am just blown away by this...what talent you have! Amazing how hard you are on yourself...I think we all are really. In the end, it's what makes the work great rather than just o.k. This in my eyes is flawless

Well thank you soo much! I am glad you you like it that much. We are all our own worst critiques I suppose, but I agree that it does keep us striving for a higher goal.
Thank you for your kind words.

It is very well done, although (and not to be critical or anything, just a suggestion) I would make around the top of the eye socket just a little darker. But that's just me though.

Thank you for the tip. I haven't worked out all the kinks yet. So, I will keep that in mind when I go back and do some touch ups. Thank you for the comment, critique, and the fav!!
