I love your fantasy drawings, they remind me of characters straight out of Heavy Metal (the comic book, I mean)

Holy muffins! Great details. Nice idea and great presentation!

I'm not sure if you wanted the water this way, but if it was supposed to be clear, it'd be cool to see a reflection or the blurry lines of her tail through the water. Just a suggestion. :)

theblackbutterfly on August 29, 2006, 2:57:37 AM

admittedly, that was the effect i wanted to have, but the water around the tail is a bit denser because it's at the core of all the movement in the image and more blurred, so details naturally get lost in the water ^^

where the water's thinner, though (in front of her braid, at the bottom) one can see some of the defining lines of her hair through it =D

Pabbit_da_Rabbit on August 29, 2006, 1:23:41 PM

Oh, okay. I see it now. :)

theblackbutterfly on August 30, 2006, 6:47:42 AM

so far, you're the only one who's asked questions about this piece ^^ for that i have you to thank *gives ye butterfly-cookie*

Pabbit_da_Rabbit on August 30, 2006, 6:51:57 AM

Heheh, hopefully it's an oatmeal raisin butterfly cookie!

I know what you mean. I like it when people ask questions, and I even wish that people would critique my stuff sometimes rather than a one-line comment.
