Description For those who visited earlier when the pic was truly tremendous, I apologize. Still trying to figure out this print stuff. A print should be made available of this if everything is improved and all...

This piece is dedicated to *Maeva-Pierre who presented me with the opportunity to have it printed in a 'zine overseas. I'm excited about that and thankful for the consideration! As I like how it turned out (or rather, I will in a few days when I'm not so sick of looking at it ) I decided to offer it up as my first print on DeviantArt. So, if you're interested in the piece, by all means, purchase it. My family, including the doggies, will appreciate the income.

Thanks everyone! And thanks * Maeva-Pierre once again.

Thank you very much on both counts! I thought it'd be a little different to see a dark elf with dappled/freckled skin ^^

Remarkable work ..

Thank you! And thanks for the fav. I had fun with those feet. It's rare I get to draw them outside my own characters. (maybe that's why the main cast of my manga are monkeys... huh...) Thanks again.

This is just beautiful, a little different from what a normal 'wind-dancer' would look like in my mind's eye, and a very nice image it is now... ^^ The folds on her clothing are perfect, and the hair is very nice, attracting the eye from the top tapering down to the center. The background is also very admirable as well. Very nice.

The-Z In reply to Alina-Cantha [2004-08-29 12:37:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!

And the picture is actually named after the spell she's using to levitate. I don't know if I included that in that description. I think I'd visualize a wind dancer differently too ^^

I love the incredible detail that is displayed in this piece. It looks especially good when viewed in full-view. I also like how her form is just slightly tilted, it throws off the balance, but draws you in all at the same time. Remarkable work! ^_^

The-Z In reply to VelvetMaiden [2004-08-29 12:54:11 +0000 UTC]

You're the only one that's mentioned noticing that tilt I was going to correct it, but when I put the other verticles in the picture, I liked how it added that slightly uncomfortable feel to it all. I'm usually one for stability, but I guess it just worked for me this time. Thank you!

(I had too much fun with the toes). Maybe I don't get to draw toes enough. I'm glad everyone seems delighted by those.
