Description
Started out as something to work on between my calendar art because even I get bored of just drawing scenery over and over again. So I have been working on and off this for the past couple of weeks so I'm surprised that I'm actually content with what the final result came out like. Not totally as I envisioned but close enough and I've spent enough time on it.Just a long-haired bishie and a lot of pretty purple stuff, mainly the girls will only like it but I'm sure some guys will too
drawn in Photoshop alone, no 3D or photo-manips used, as usual in my character art. My reference was a Ball-Jointed Doll here [link] I'm glad those things are so popular, I'm finding them good reference models and inspire me to make pretty characters...it's win-win 
Also my first semi-realism attempt I feel might be good enough for a print, so why not - it's costing me nothing

How do you do this? 0-0 Your work is amazing.. people say practice, practice, practice.. You just have talent.
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess the most realistic answer is a bit of both 
But practice counts. Someone may have potential talent but they need to learn how to use it, I'm sure famous artists, singers and dancers didn't become professional the day they discovered their hobby

OMG...PURPLE!!
*Ahem* Now that that's over.
This is really amazing!
I love the in-depth shading in the skin and all the detail in the hair. The different highlights and lowlights add so much volume. The clothes are lovely. You must have had so mad patience to draw all that. The silk texture come out perfectly. The flowers look fluffy. Yes, fluffy. They're also really cute too.
The only thing you should have added that was in the ref, is the dark, cold glare. The man in your drawing looks a bit lost.
Other than that, I am simply blown away by your work!

Yeah, he looks a bit lost, an alternative title was "Absent minded"

Love the colors, love the shading...LOVE IT ALL!!!!FAV

That was my intended mood, just something soft and calming (which is rare in any male art 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I figured as much. It's a really pretty name. It's like "emotion" and "gentle" all in one!
And yes, it is rare

Finally, someone who understands these are the hardest to draw

Hehe - i know that according to myself 
- Yes, you're probably right about the people - even for fantasy or alien creatures some flaws aren't important or people just neglect them as they can't compare it to some hard reference, but for the regular human chars comparison is the keyword. Good for you that with art like this you really don't have to be afraid, at least that's my humble opinion

While the technical skill and the detail put into this is ASTOUNDING (I wanna be as gewd 
On second thoughts itβs probably the uncanny valley playing up - the closer something gets to perfection the more obvious are any mistakes.

I spent so many years only being concerned about realistic colour and shading that until recently - I totally neglected anatomy and proportions in favour of it (what can I say - I'm not good enough to tackle all aspects of art at once 
The second bit was an interesting observation too

I always also speechless showing this piece of art!

I'm surprised this one's been getting more attention recently (relative to my other character ones that is) thanks!

That's for why it's great to can discover again and again latest and previous works. Each time I come on your gallery, I always am amazed by each one of your works, really! And it's a pleasure to show them, one by one, discovering a little bit each time...

You... are crazy-awesome.
It is my new life's goal to be as good an artist as you.
>=3
Also, I love all your planetary work. So beautiful!
Beware, because your page has a new stalker.

Just stay motivated, I felt the same about other artists and that wa sthe only thing that made me improve after years of being pretty much the same (especially in manga, the ones I did a few years ago aren't even as nice as yours actually, many were deleted from my gallery long ago 
Glad you liked the others too, I suppose they're better since I've been doing space and scenery way longer than characters
π: 0 β©: 1
I will not give up!
Seeing artists like you make me even more motivated to improve, since your level and skill... I can see what you did.
I can understand possible techniques that you use, and see how colors blend for an effect.
I just...
My fingers are not well-trained yet, nor is my patience very long. ^_^;
Thank you for the encouragement, though.
It makes me happy when people really reply, instead of just saying "Thanks!" and leaving it at that.

I love his hair, it seems like it must have been very complicated. I love different colors of purple so I think you picked the perfect color. Very beautifully done ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Thankyou, I havn't spent this much time on hair since my last Drawing of Sephiroth a year ago where I had to do it by mouse 
π: 0 β©: 1
You're very welcome, I love his hair. I do all my pictures by mouse and I hate it, but I'm getting a scanner soon so I won't have to white it all out and stuff ^^
My room is black and purple because those are two of my favorite colors, but it looks kind of weird. (I actually had purple hair once, I may put up a pic.)
I'm not the greatest at coloring, I mainly focus my efforts on manga pages. I love it when a picture mainly consist of one color in different shades, so you using mostly purples is right up my alley ^_^

Did you just paint the textures on the cloth. Man, you're awesome.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sort-of, I painted the individual patterns flat on seperate layers that way, and kept duplicating the layer and warping it to fit the contours of the clothing (which I had shaded already so I can see what sticks out and what goes in) and used a few layers in a few different blending modes and opacities to make it look like they were part of the material and not just stuck on top

Very nice explaining it to me. I learned something from you but then I still need to practice regardless of what knowledge I have obtained.
