It's soooooo shiny! Nice work. Inara is so pretty.

Wow. I saw that and thought it was a screencap. super shiny!

I thought it was a screencap, too. Very shiny - she is *amazing*!

In low res it does, but when viewed in full res, amazing!

I honestly couldn't tell it was not a screenshot till I looked closely at the image pixellation and things.

This is just mindblowing:)

This really is lovely. You are obviosly amazing with painter.

And in the interest of constructive criticism, the shadowed part of her face seems a little low. Only a teeny bit though. If you were to move the cheek and the jawline up just a little bit on that side and make the chin just a teeny bit smaller on all around then I think it would be perfect.

That was all pretty nitpicky but when a person is as good as you that's all I can come up with. Of course, I could be seeing things.

You really are amazing at this.

thankyou everyone....
kayna: good constructive critism i can take and welcome....the best artists are those who are seeking to paint better and anything that can help them achieve that...well....
anyway, to the point of your critism, granted she does look a little low in that area, perhaps a tad....the problem is that her whole head is tilted very slightly downwards and to the side(the right), it`s very slight and can be easily mistaken(and very easily painted wrongly)...there are some slight problems there and thanks for pointing them out, but i`m not sure i wouldn`t ruin it if i did have another go at it, sometimes in correcting a mistake you have to go back and reconstruct some of the underlying anatomy....
so, i`m going to leave it there, but you`re right, some little problems to think about for next time....you have a good eye...
and sorry about the epistle for a reply lol.....

I'm just glad you don't think I'm annoying.

I know what you're saying about overworking too. This is a wonderful piece and you're right, overworking could very easily ruin it.

As to a good eye, Thanks. I've had lots of practice. My mom and my aunt are both amazing artists who use me for critcques and such.

kayna: no problem. are you heading in the same direction as your parents? sorry, don`t get time to view many entries here....

this one is absoluetely beautiful, im just in awe! i want talent lol.
