Such dynamic lighting and beauty, insteresting texture and design, love the ice or whatever the illuminescent element surrounding his fingers are, it really adds to the image over all.

Nice job. I like your style of line work. I prefer mostly realistic style rather than so much Anime we see here on D.A.
The Canson paper look really sells the piece, too.

He looks like he could hang out with Cal and Pell and the rest of the Wraeththu from the books by Storm Constantine.

Absolutely sensational. -tries to rub away the watermark and pass it off as my own- ^-^* just kidding, no one would believe it was mine in a million years. Can't get the hang of Photoshop-almighty to save my life. -.-

Wow, he's pretty! Also, I am so in love with your style. It looks so much like watercolor, pastels or colored pencil on watercolor paper. Thanks for sharing such a sorft and beautiful piece!

Amazing drawing! Until I saw how you did it, I was completely fooled that you had done everything by traditional media and on such a difficult paper too. Your mini sort-of-tutorial was wonderfully informative, and even though I know how to use photoshop it seems way over my level.

The light, the colours and your character himself are absolutely wondeful! It's been a while since I saw something that amazing!I thought she was a woman, but whatever, Tristan's pose and hands' gesture are really graceful and the tints of colours you used make me think of those of Boticelli. You did something "magical"!
This portrait caught my eye immediately and I'm glad I found this.

Before reading your description I though he looked like a Michelangelo's sybil...a bit too masculine to be a girl...infact he's not! But he is angelic! Great job!
