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.

Wow. I went to the features and noticed my friends photo...but it wasn't a photo, it was digital art.

See, Kendra's my best friend...I just made a journal entry dedicated to this feature. So happy for you and her.

Congratulations *shakes your hand*...

LawlessPriest In reply to ??? [2005-05-04 02:06:35 +0000 UTC]

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.

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.
