Description I guess I felt like doodling something a little generic last night I'm not too happy with the way the shoulder/back came out, but in general I'm happy with it for a 4 hour work that started as a tiger face practice sketch.

I've posted it for sale on furbid: [link]

Very nicely done. Really jumps out especially considering it's monochrome. I love the look on her face, she has a kind face.

Truly amazing. The details in the fur, the ribbon, the butterflies, the circlet - everything is gorgeous.

I don't see any problems in the back, though I think I see the problems you find in the arms.

Great work, I hope it does well on Furbid.

Kudos!

SirMartin1 [2006-07-06 00:32:24 +0000 UTC]

yeah the back should be tilted at an angle away from the shoulder and down as far as the line of the corsette runs but too late to fix it now i suppose other than that wonderful work i love the emotion that comes through its like a Bn'W photo meets a dreamscape

Charisma-Love [2006-07-05 23:12:18 +0000 UTC]

are you good at everything?! XD
Inspired by Balaa a bit? I noticed that you love her art, and quite rightly so! I had no idea you were so good at this genre too, but then you have been pretty awesome with all the other styles I've seen you work with as well, like Sonic the Hedgehog and chibi styles for instance

I think the shoulder is fine, but if she were turning her head at that angle I'm not sure you'd see as much of the breast. But then maybe I'm only thinking that because mine are quite a bit smaller? lol

I love the mouth, it looks as if she's actually talking our language and I can imagine a soft, sweet voice speaking to the butterfly

I wish I was less 'ecclectic' art-wise, it would make it easier to focus on one style! As for the boobs I guess I thought the corset would've pushed 'em up a bit I love Balaa's work, yes, but actually this is the type of thing I used to draw a LOT... more of a non-cartoony side I'm generally too impatient to try. There's a lot of it on my old VCL and further back in my DA gallery as well.
