lovely work...i think the foreground hand needs some darker toning and shading to help it match in more though

Deep yhinking text and lovely drawing. Though the hand in the foreground seems a lil disturbing at first. But now I'm used to it

i haven't been on deviantart in months... but i just wanted to thank you for continuing to put up quality work. it would seem that Yaoi, Fanart, and Furries have taken the forefront as of late, and it's always refreshing to see REAL art from time to time still on deviantart.

-keep up the good work!

Ooooo, this is very beautiful. I like how it's a double self portrait, and you show yourself in two different ways. Gorgeous work on the shading and colors, this came out really great!

That is probably the most wonderful point I've seen made here, on DA. And ... well, I've been here a while.

I love the way you layer your colors and handle light, as always.
