Sorry for recently spamming your work, but I saw this in your gallery... took a look at it, and I felt like it was the first time I looked at it..but apparently it wasn't, cause I favourited it some time ago... The colourful markings on the elephant are just amazing.. one of my favourite parts of this..that and the way you rendered the flappyness (yes, I said flappyness) of the 'phants phace. And when it comes to the girl .. my god, of all your pieces..this piece holds in it my favourite set of hands I think you've ever painted they're so dainty and gorgeous, as are her arms.. I'm drawn to them for some reason. Love the flushed elbow. I also am I sucker for the hot pink eye colour... ahh '

oh and one last thing! The sort of..spectrum background there... I love it to bits! Blues pinks and oranges are an eyegasm for sure.

I actually think this is my favourite of yours so far.

haha I'm glad you like this Manda. I plan on reworking this one on hot press paper, so as to really get down with the details of the elephant's skin. I LOVE working with hot press now.

OMG, DARLING, the detail in her hair is so amazing, but what I love the most is the whole concept, I mean I still wonder how you handle to work with such a difficult tecnique and make it look so sweet I have missed your work I am glad I'll try to come more around to see my friend's works

you're very welcome!

though I'd appreciate it if ya didn't leave messages on my main dA page, as it will not let me hide the ones from dAStaff, and I'd rather not have messages that just say "thank you" showing on my main dA page.

It's rather difficult for me, truth be told, however I will make an effort to remember When I go through my messages, I recognise a great deal of names however newer acquaintances take time for familiarisation. If you are very much against thank you messages then perhaps it's best to just block me It's the only way to secure a guaranteed safeguard.

fridaythe13th In reply to snowunmasked [2009-09-08 17:56:17 +0000 UTC]

It's okay, I understand how many people you must deal with on a daily basis and new names to be difficult, thank you for taking the time to respond; and I don't want to block you dear! so I'll just let your memory decide whether it wants to remember, and wait and see the next time I like one of your works! lol

I mean, It's not something that drives me totally crazy...more of a little annoyance

You're improving more and more as you go along. I can see you in a years time doing a remake of the ones you've recently done a remake of

I love this one... I just adore the magenta eyeshadow - how bold and solid it is. Tis my fav colour and how complimentary it is with hair black detailed hair.

Absolutely stunning piece. The colors are so vibrant. I really like how each element seems distinct in itself, but then melts away into something else that is different and unexpected.
