Description There is no black.
There is no white.
I can see no gray,
For color is all that should be.

A gift for my amazing friend, Joana. I've known her for nearly four years now, ever since we joined Elfwood around the same time. We've spend many days critiquing, praising, and talking about our art. Not only that, we've had several wonderful conversations about life in general and have gotten to know each other quite well. Joana is such a sweetheart, always ready and willing to lend a helping hand--or pencil. Our birthdays are only a couple of days apart to, though I forget the exact date every year Ooops.

Anyway, Joana, here is your beautiful boy, Ninniach in all his colorful glory!

The bright colours are stunning, but I'm very impressed by how smoothly you've shaded the background. The only thing I can criticise is that his rump isslightly odd looking in the way it meets his leg

Yea, the angle may be off. I don't know. Looking at it now, it does look a little strange

Those gorgeous wings are making me very happy. They are so beautiful, my eyes are rejoicing! I really like the way the blue border blends into the purple. I love the pose, especially the head, neck and forelegs.

Omg OMG, I refresh my page to see if I've something new on my messages and I find this!

Oh my Ash, this is just so... breathtaking! You got me crying! Seriously, I'm crying, I need to breathe properly...
It's so perfect! I really wasn't expecting anything, you really surprised me! *looks to the astonishing piece of art again*
I need to calm down now... Still crying... I cannot believe you took all the work of drawing this guys for me, I feel so honored to have you as a friend, even though we haven't talked much lately, but that'll change. And the wings look so amazing! And I know how much trouble those used to give you, but they're perfect! You got everything right! And Ninniach is facing right too haha
Our birthdays are one day apart, yours in on the 19th, isn't it?

Thank you thank you thank you! What am I doing? Thanking you isn't enough... but it'll have to do for now!
Aww Ashley, I really don't know what else to say, I'm absolutely thrilled! Thank you SO much for this amazing gift!

PolarisAstrum In reply to SilverFlameWanderer [2008-08-20 12:25:08 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean, I started drawing my pics facing right because most of them faced left, but lately they face left mostly, again... It's kind of hard XD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SilverFlameWanderer In reply to PolarisAstrum [2008-08-20 16:30:13 +0000 UTC]

It is hard when you get used to drawing them one direction. Even when I was little and started drawing horses, they faced left. I really need to get over that

PolarisAstrum In reply to SilverFlameWanderer [2008-08-20 17:31:04 +0000 UTC]

I think it has something to do with being right or left handed... I'm like that too and it's so much easier to draw facing left for me, it feels more comfortable I guess.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SilverFlameWanderer In reply to PolarisAstrum [2008-08-20 17:37:05 +0000 UTC]

Probably because we start with the head and we are right handed, so we move away from the left to avoid smudging or something. I don't know
