Description [11x14 watercolor] This has been sitting around finished for a week I have no idea how long this actually took so don't ask, but I did the first sketch 6 months ago. I went through several re-drawings to get to the final drawing and didn't finish it until now.

oh yeah, FULL VIEW is worth it!

It's really nice... Usually darker colours look better in something like this but it blends well and looks really nice...

Hell of a watercolor...nice work! I love the color, the trees in the background and...what is that shrine thing around her? I want to say it's like carved stone or wood, nonetheless it's incredible.

Wow!!! This is beautiful!!! It looks exactly like a character out of a book I'm writing... her name is Celeste. Awesome! wow!

MeredithDillman In reply to Lunarshadoe [2005-01-12 05:22:39 +0000 UTC]

She actually started as a character from my comic but the 3 color paintings I have of her really don't rememble the character anymore. She's more of a cute shy teenager than a nature goddess.
