man, that's good... I find humans impossible to draw, even in cartoon-style which I find easier. No idea how you managed this, but great job.

Oh wow. She looks like one of the elves from Lord of the rings..and not just because of her ear! The skin is really pale and realistic, smooth. She must use baby lotion. You can really see the differeence between the textures of the hair and skin, the hair is just so amazing-ever strand is just visible, its like you took a photo. She has a very mysterious, distant look to her too!

Great! Glad to hear she ended up looking like one of them, as that was kind of my inspiration for the style of her ear and face. And yes, she uses a very magical kind of baby lotion. Thanks so much for the comment!

Well done! The ear looks a little unnatural though, maybe it should be covered a bit by the hair

slshimerdla In reply to cenoslave [2005-03-30 14:50:14 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, not sure why. I was actually quite happy with how I made the ear, but perhaps it's just a difference in perception on how elves ears "should" look? Who knows. Glad you liked it, anyway
