Description
To know where you are going, you must first know from which you came.'s commission of her character in garou form wrapped in the Turkish flag in homage to her roots. She sent me all kinds of pictures of gorgeous scenery from Turkey to use as a background, and I chose this one. I'm really proud of this one *squeee*.
Done with prismacolor pencil on bright white drawing paper.

Aww, shucks! You're welcome.
It's always a pleasant surprise to find someone has been a fan of my own work, in turn!
*ponders* There it is! I made a comment back on May 19, 2005 on your piece, "Jonni in a T Shirt". I seriously wish I had commennted on more of your stuff over the years, but I think I don't visit DeviantArt enough.

I really love how dramatic the character looks in this picture with such contrast to the tranquil background. I love it.
You know how much I like contrast lol

"To know where you are going, you must first know from which you came."
I disagree. While it does help with undoing past conditioning and understanding your present self, people are capable of being self-determined without the past, I believe.

You have good reason to be proud of this piece. It's stunning. There's an excellent sense of motion in the flag, the colors are beautiful and, as said above, the texture is amazing.
Beautiful work.

Of course not! An artist has every right to be proud of a piece. I know that its a great feeling of accomplishment when you feel you've really pulled something off well. That feeling is few and far-between!
Like I mentioned, you have every right to be proud. It really is beautiful!

I have GOT to commission you the next time I have some money. XD Your work is simply phenomenal. Look at the movement in this piece, with the flag and the fabric. And the texture. Everywhere, there is texture. I feel like I could reach out and run my hand through that grass.
You are incredible. Don't ever stop doing what you do. :3

Oh wow, I am sure you would come up with a very very engaging idea for a piece. I really tried to make everything dynamic here. I want to get things looking more real, and I think I might be on the right track.
Thanks so much, and right back at ya, girl!
