Description This is a character design of Dez that I cooked up for 's contest. The background is supposed to be her bedroom. It's morning and she's getting ready for school. I think it turned out quite nice. I wanted the floor to have a washed-out effect.

Painted with Painter 7 and the original graphire 1 tablet. lol (yes, I'm that poor)
Time: too long.

Edit: Wha!? ...Ahhhh!!!! Whoa, I'm in total shock. My first daily dev! Never dreamed of this actually happenin' to someone like me. This is almost embarrasing. I should have fixed a few things but now I'm too lazy to go back. Seriously, thanks everyone!

...phase one complete. Time for phase two initiation...WORLD DOMINATION!

You're really "trying" to get to me but you're failing miserably. If you knew anything about print, the artwork you see here has been compressed in quality for the web at 72 dpi (print quality is 300-600 dpi). So if you were to print it and hang it on your wall, it would be the size of a postcard or less. If you were to print it any bigger, the pixelation and quality would make your eyes bleed. I could always give you the source file if you were to pay me - even if it were a small sum, say 1/3rd of what you were offering as your prizes, but it seems you can't even afford that which is a crying shame. I'm not greedy, I just want to be compensated. If you're not too embarrassed already, you still have a chance to redeem yourself and state your offer.

Thats interestin, and i wud hav taken it had u not destroyed that contest. By the way I dont no what ur talking about, it about the size of a poster and it works fine, the quality seems great. I used a print service, they told me that wud be a problem, but they also said they could make a rendering over it to fix the quality when it was inlarged. Appreaciate the offer. But your to late, but maybe ill consider it. Whats the price. [URL=[link]

Not many people know about it but the only way to enlarge rasterized images is through interpolation. There's only one software I know of that does it but it costs $300 and the results aren't perfect, meaning it won't be as good as using the source file at 300 dpi (dots-per-inch). I don't know about this rendering method you speak of but I doubt it works. If it worked, then why would you be interested in my file? Anyway, why don't you name your price. Pick a number, any number. If you must have me decide, I don't think I can go any lower than $30 without breaking my personal morals. Still, it's up to you. Just give me a number and I'll think about it. The file for the artwork is 3170 x 3588 pixels at 300 dpi quality which is pretty big. Just her head would fill up the entire screen at 100%. If you don't want to talk here, you can also note me.

Pretty good! Your color usage and style is great. Watch out for the anatomy of your faces though. This one appears a little too warped. As one of my Masters tells me, study the planes of the face. ^_^ Good job!

Thanks. Yeah, her face looked really distorted and her pose looked all wrong when I tried flipping the picture horizontally. Strange how the brain works sometimes. She looks normal to me now but that's only because there's probably something wrong with me. XD

Congrats on the DD, and don't worry about the flaws! It's minor flaws that really add to a piece of art, giving them character. I love the way this picture flows, the colors blending together. It's a dyniamic combination of sketchy and sharp and I congraulate you! Lovely!

Reminds me of Francis Bacon's style of art. This is a good thing, because I love Francis Bacon's art.

+Fav for sure.

.. She's beautiful, she looks like one of those girls I'd be too shy to approach for their phone numbers yet would secretly admire from a distance knowing that I'd shower them with love if I could only get the bravery up to speak to them and show them how much I can care...

..Sorry.. I went off on a tangent there..

The painting is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
