Description OMG. I am finally done. <3 I am very happy with this picture.

I drew it one night when I was upset from some thoughtless comments from friends. I don't think they realized that they really made me feel crappy. Hence the sad expression on my face there. Anyway, the rest of the picture... I really love the full moon. I can't really describe the way looking at it makes me feel. I love mountains and fresh bodies of water. Fireflies (even though they don't live around here) are awesome little critters too. I love the way they liven up a picture.

On whims, I tried things in this picture that I never had before... Drawing the nightsky myself instead of using a photo for one. XD I like the way everything turned out.

Please, please comment on this if you have taken the time to look. I want to know what you think of it and don't want all my efforts to have been in vain!
(comment, but I don't want harsh crits.)

I really like it -- She looks a bit like Lilo, though, in my opinion, but that's probably just the face and skin tone

It looks really good

I love that picture, and I'm very impressed with your skills. I'm also in awe of the fact that you're not afraid to put curves on women, and for that you're my hero. ^_^

i like the body.
the only thing i find odd is the face. it doesnt seem to match the overall picture. it seems to have no shape, and the eyes are a bit bright ^_^;; compared to how everything else is so nicely shaded.

i love the whole detail of this though.

I hate it when friends are inconsiderate like that. An example of this that sticks out in my mind:

I'm friends with three really skinny girls. My body is curvy and imo quite attractive, but definately larger than there's. I was invited by one of them, who is about ten pounds heavier than the other two, to go swimming. I didn't feel like it, and she was being fussy, and finally admitted that my larger figure would make her more comfortable swimming with the others.

I can understand that - but I still think it's a really horrible thing to say. Luckily I like the way I look. And I didn't go swimming with her.

Whew! long story. I love your art and your tutorials, and in this pic in particular I love your details - like the ties on her skirt, skin colouring, and sky.

plaidassassin [2006-08-21 06:12:26 +0000 UTC]

again, great colouring. her skin looks rather mottled but i'm guessing its fur? also, the mountains look a bit bland, maybe add some foliage to help break up the grey. excellent layout, works really well

Where do you live that there aren't fireflies? I love the water ripples and the detail on the full moon.

I think the skirt is riding a little low, or at least that's how it seems from the back.

zenia In reply to mamorumi [2006-07-26 00:56:26 +0000 UTC]

S'where I usually place my skirt when I wear it (well, when I am sitting). If I don't, it rides waaaay up and is super uncomfortable. XD lmao

Mardi-Anibus [2006-07-25 07:19:30 +0000 UTC]

I absolutely love this Zen D:

Your colouring always has me in absolute awe, and her curves are just so adorably perfect.

I'm sorry it came from a bad sort of day, but it looks as though you're one of the few people I know who can take something bad and turn it into something beautiful.

You're definitely one of the artists I look up to most, man.

I really do love this. You put so much work into it and it shows. I think it's pretty. I love the water around the skirt.

It turned out quite well Zenia, you should be proud of this. If you ever do want crits from this I'll have a few stored away in my brain, but nothing major .

It truly did turn out nice though . I can tell that there was some emotion that went into it - something that lacks from far too many artists work.
