Description
A boy in my art class named Tony Bui called me a free spirit one day when he was either drunk and/or half asleep. He described to me sleepily exactly what he believed a free spirit to be, and to tell you the truth, it really stuck with me. I won't insult his words by trying to repeat them the best way I can, but in my mind, a free spirit is a determined girl (or guy) who enjoys breaking through normalities and conventionalism. In the photo (taken and modeled by ~ivorylily ), she just looked like a free spirit, or like one should look.No, I didn't change the photo much at all, it was beautiful as is, but I really hope you enjoy this Ivory, and I really hope the rest of you enjoy it also.

It's a really fine balance (for me) between trying to do every strand and make it detailed without having that (the seperation). I'm glad someone actually decided to tell me I tipped a lil too far to the worse side :b and thank you for the critique though. My first of the day on this piece.

Absolutely stunning! There's something about her eye that just draws me in when I look at this picture. I especially love the detail you put into her hair, showing each strand with different colors. +fav

saw this on one of those Daily Deviation things or whatever they call it. Didn't read whatever buddy had written under it. I just had to see it for myself and make my own decisions on it and I have not been disappointed. This is an amazing piece. One that doesn't need to be described over and over in flowery words.
it's good stuff and I'm glad I took the time out to view it.

Holy shit, now you're famous!
What's this, your third DD? Fourth, actually, I think.
Either way, this comment probably isn't helping to speed up your sorting through all these wonderful comments. So, I'll just be on my way.
And congradulations, of course.
