Epica is awesome. Especially their newest album. This is a fantastic piece. It really jumps off the screen and you really captured her trademark red hair.

Excellent :)

thanks so much :) very glad you like the painting!

I haven't been able to get my hands on the new album yet. :( I'm really hard to find symphonic metal albums around here, so I'd have to order it online, and I don't have a credit card. sad day.

I do get a kick out of the album's title, though. XD sounds like a definite drug reference.

The new album is definitely one of their best. If you like Epica, you HAVE to get that CD!

GIMP and a mouse!!! o_O I have those same things, I just suck with them I see, because I can´t get anything done with just PC... This is awesome, the top part looked like a photograph to me, seriously! :D Great pic!

^^; hee yeah, I got quite lazy toward the bottom, which is where I finished... and I was kinda crashing off of a caffeine high XD

thank you so much for the comment :D keep steady with the GIMP usage, that program my second love after poptarts.

SimplyZippy on July 18, 2007, 4:47:26 AM

yep, I have no tablet, so the mouse is a good enough substitute ^^; plus it's taken me over a year to get to this point, so I'm very happy to hear the awesome feedback! :D

thanks so much!

You did this with a MOUSE?! You're either fantastic or lying yer bally head off... but mouse or no mouse, this is brilliant

SimplyZippy on July 18, 2007, 4:46:14 AM

XD XD XD

honestly, this took me maybe twelve hours to paint :o I'm glad it turned out well enough for you to think I'm lying, but I have no tablet so the mouse is all I can use for painting ^_^

thank you so much for the lovely comment *free biscuit for you*
