dear god, this is nice. I love everything about it - it's realistic, it's proportional, hell it's perfect. I have to give you props on the design and idea of the drawing as well, it's all brought together very nicely.

kudos.

I almost think that a babboon could come up with a decent work of art so long as he kept his eye trained on ` snowmask , though...

Tell me what you mean, vietkat...
Not convincingly life-like? Not convincingly expressive? Or not convincingly similar enough to Katie's eyes...?

Aw, thanks very much, my old friend...

I've discovered in my work the exact same thing I'd discovered in my personal life, years ago: if you don't respect and admire the subject, don't even bother to get involved... but if you do both respect and admire, some really wonderful things can come of it...
Thanks again for the fineness of your eye, beckiss.

dark2 In reply to ??? [2005-04-23 17:43:32 +0000 UTC]

:gasp: wow...this is ABSOLUTELY stunning!! very beautiful...love the innocence and real-ness of this...very cool shading and composition and it looks EXACTLY like the reference!! good god u're so talented it's scary! lol...great job in any case!!

one thing i don't get tho, how come the stars in front are hollow (only outlines) while the rest are filled with colour? i was also wondering whether the moon was hollow for any reason...maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but the hand seems a little tiny for her...i'm not an expert in perspective but that's what it seems to me right now...

i love her hair in any case, `snowmask should be happy in any case!! even tho the reference had not much hair u managed to do hers so nicely...just...wow all in all. heh.

SRaffa In reply to dark2 [2005-04-23 18:56:49 +0000 UTC]

The hollow effect of the stars and the moon are because this is the universe as drawn, with a crayon, by Jim Henson's `snowmask baby... there's a cluster of snowflakes around the moon whose negative spaces become the stars we see, eventually....

Thanks for looking, Jo
