thank you so much
this piece is one of my personal favorites and successes and i imagine will remain so for years to come (as i haven't quite been able to replicate its qualities).
i need to update the description, as i believe it to be partially wrong.

You also have a really great hand with light and shadow - I saw a lot of this sort of thing in your gallery, and you're really good at it. This is my favorite of this type

I like this a lot. I really like your style, it's very expressive. It allows detail while remaining simple. ^^ He reminds me a lot of Morpheus/Dream from Sandman, too...which makes me quite fond of him. <3 Heh.

I really like the smearing effect. if that means the same as smudge?

sometimes you just draw that pic, take that shot that can't be replicated

Uniquness, that's why hand drawn are more valuable arts.

omg i love the mouth! i dont quite understand why, feels like the most "real" element in this work, maybee it's just me? Either way, i like the idea of surrounding the facial frame with really dark charcoal, add a lot on the expression. hmmmm i like i like!!
hey, b.t.w., wit all the smearing, how dark was your finger after that? jkjk
