Description This is supposed to be a commission for Ludi, an old friend of mine, of a couple of her characters- but I'm not happy with the results. A better version will probably come along sometime after much procrastination, but for now I figured I'd show the world (ugh) the version I don't like.

You are much too modest. This is fine - I didn't expect any great work of art anyway, just your impressions of the characters, so this is really great to see. I like the way you've juxtaposed light and darkness so effectively and I think you do shading very well. I think perhaps Elu looks a bit cross-eyed, but otherwise I quite like the 'vagueness' of it. I'll be interested to see the final version when and if you do it.

Well... thank you. I did purposefully try to harmonize a nice contrast between light and dark- but I think the shading on the faces, though it started out well, ended up too much. And you can't see the stairs below them (dangit) so it looks like Locud is shorter than Elu (which should be completely the opposite way around. I miss your old drawings of them, you know? Whenever I get the whim, I'll try again. Sorry about a crosseyed Elu! >.< Nevertheless, again, thank you- I need to get back in practice, really- I just can't see myself doing that very soon.

Well, I figured they'd be standing on different levels, so no worries about that. Don't apologise for anything, this is a great pic and it gave me a buzz looking at it! As I say, I wasn't looking for a huge masterpiece, I just wanted to see your vision. Thanks so much for contributing it!
