I still cant believe I am getting complimented on my poses..I still think I am the klutz queen so it makes my unbelievably happy to know I actually look graceful.

Thank you so much!!!!

a camera captures the moment -im sure your not a klutz 24/7 -and your probably not as bad as you think -have confidence

don't worry about it thats why photographers take lots of photos even pros don't get it right on the first shot it takes a lot before they pic which ones are the best and use them

Thank you for the kind words. I always think I look awkward and clumsy....you can't believe how happy it makes me to read that. Thank you!!!!!!

DylanebennetDA In reply to VariaK [2012-04-22 18:52:45 +0000 UTC]

What?!? O_o
You're absolutely Awesome! I can't believe it, be sure that the pic is perfect the costume is perfect and your expression and the pose are really beautiful, and I'm not joking about this, you're really beautiful.
Wow! If so can I ask you one question? If you agree can you give me the permission to make a drawing of the photo? I was uncertain to ask, but I really will be happy and honoured to add your pic to the gallery of hyperrealistic portraits that I'm preparing.
If you want, you can see on My page how I work, at the moment the first protraits "Vampire Princess Miyu" is almost finished, so you can judge My style and say to me if you like it.
If you will give me the permission I will give all the credits to you and to the photographer and the link to the original image.
Again don't worry cause you're really perfect. ^_____^

Really?!? Yay! I'm honored that you like My work and that give me the permission!
Ok I decided your drawing will be painted in colors not only with pencils, I love too much your shot. ^____^
I will start immediately the lineart so you could judge it, before I start the painting process, critiques and suggestions are very welcome!! ^________^

DylanebennetDA In reply to VariaK [2012-04-26 15:32:44 +0000 UTC]

It will be done with mixed media, and I will use different materials, I think I'll do your face and skin with watercolors (because I want to use a material that is more delicate as possible in the final rendering), while for the costume and the rest will be a mix of gouache and, I think, oil paints, because I want to create a warm atmosphere something like a dream, I really hope to get as close as possible to the work that I have in mind. ^___^
