Description "I promise, no matter what happens, no matter where the road ends, someday I will find you... and not even death will tear us apart."

(lawl. how many times have i fixed this? xD)
Fullview, plz! :3
ALRIGHT, PEEPS! I REALLY need to hear it this time! which one's better? this one or the old one? or even the semi-old one [which i would not agree with you on any level unless you made a valid argument haha]

Here, Blaise remembers his promise to Elena, the promise that keeps him going for over a thousand years.

hope you enjoy!

My apologies, but I can't recall your previous version in detail.
So I'll give this a go again.

Yes, I can sense his determination in his eyes. A very strong determination.

Allright, on to technicals. Well, I don't see anything that looks strange... your choice of strokes on the hair and feathers is more of a matter of preference and style so I'll refrain from commenting on that. Skin rendering is smooth and nice, and though the face is beautiful, I can still tell its a guy after I look at it for a while. Overall I think whatever you did in the past, as long as you keep improving its a good thing.

I am also interested in the story of these two. What is it actually about? Of course, if its still in secret you don't have to tell me yet.

lol thank you yeah, i understand the hair's a little rough.
well, its a series i've been writing for almost 5 years now, so you can understand why i'd be iffy about telling the story. if it ever gets published i'd probably tell, but that's a while away i'm sure.

I love both of the two versions. .:The Promise:. +REVISED+ is like winter, but this one's like winter almost over.. I love the warmness in the skin color.

But in the end I have a hard time deciding who's best.

I am not sure which one I like more. In this picture he has more depth, he is sadder and his eyes have more expression. So I guess this one is better. However, in the previous version he was more... lighter. More angelic. And so I can't decide.

Eksafael In reply to Elestra [2008-12-07 20:30:25 +0000 UTC]

lol thanks. i guess he didn't look as human in the other?
anyway, thanks for the imput

Elestra In reply to Eksafael [2008-12-07 20:54:28 +0000 UTC]

He didn't. Maybe I misunderstood something, but he looked more angelic and I liked it. So actually he wasn't supposed to be an angel? Oh...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Eksafael In reply to Elestra [2008-12-07 21:06:01 +0000 UTC]

well, he's technically not an angel (: lol but he has the stereotypical qualities of an angel, like the wings.

lol no, i won't be releasing any of the writing onto the internet. i might make it available to certain people privately if it's published.

This is really good, I like this colouring best, but I liked the expression in the first more - it might be something to do with the lips rather than the eyes.
But I really don't know.
What I do know is that this is a beautiful piece of work

Hmmn~ I like this one a lot and I like the hair from the one yesterday and I love the eyes from the one submitted in July. It's a hard choice. :3
I don't think the eye-sparkles should be so big, it takes away from the realism of the piece though

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Eksafael In reply to Teefie [2008-12-07 17:22:08 +0000 UTC]

well, i added them because of those sparkles of light that are hovering around him. i thought it would be more realistic on that level at least.

Teefie In reply to Eksafael [2008-12-07 20:17:18 +0000 UTC]

Mmm, i see. I dunno, I'm not sold on the sparkles, I think just a high light would have sufficed.

This is really beautiful. I love the pale, muted color scheme and the sharp details. It feels like this person is standing right in front of the viewer; very intense and yet still very gentle and beautiful.

Amazing job!
