I really like this picture ! - coming back to it again and again...
She seems to me kind of ancient priestess or so,
anyway a strong and dignified woman.
By the way,the faces in Your drawings seem to me
somehow a bit similar - are that kind of self-portraits ?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I have to admit this is one of my favorites. I'd kill to be able to get those pencil textures right in other drawings.
And nah, they're not self portraits. I just have a problem with getting all my faces to look different. I need to start practicing with different facial features so my figures don't all look so similar. It's always the same eyes, the same nose, the same mouth, and it's getting kind of tiring. I'm glad you and other people are taking notice of that. Maybe if enough people mention it I'll finally get off my butt and do something about it.

Again...this is spectacular. Have you ever thought of illustrating children's books?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, definitely! One of my favorite illustrators is Kinuko Y. Craft, and she's done work for several children's books. I wouldn't mind doing that, but what I'd really love to do is illustrate my own stories one day.

Another print. Thank the Goddess! How was your holidaze?

Meh. It was so-so. Kinda anticlimactic, really. But at least I got my fill of grub.
And yes, a print whore I be.

Christmas is for children! But I too had my fill. HAM!

This is really kind of evil and alien looking. I like how the tube and the gem are so embedded into her skin. Look like it would hurt.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, my poor characters. I always manage to find some way to hurt 'em. Maybe that makes them a little bit more well-rounded or something. Heh.

woo, that's great, I love the solemnity and as I was looking at it I thought wow, that headress must be heavy, it seemed so real.

I've been trying to pinpoint what it is about your faces that strikes me so, and I finally got it today. They look like they migh be from a long-gone civilization preceding ours, something incredibly intriguing and beautiful in that mystical way. Great work again.

Another lush and lovely meditation from a wild and fully engaged imagination; put a pencil in her hand and she's a force of nature!

Like everyone else, I love the brain/intestine tube-hat thingie!
You have such a wonderful imagination.. and the skills to share it with the rest of us!

She's almost not human with those brains and talons/horns. Her face is amazing and if you stare into her eyes long enough, you will see herstory. And that name! My, my, my...
I LOVE THIS.
π: 0 β©: 0
Buwah! LOVE the brains in the hat tube! Heh.. gotta get me one of those, I bet they'd be perfect for headaches... and frightening away people who came to visit.. *ponders* Yup.. now I really need one
This is my favorite to date. I love the shape of her face... the distance between the inner corner of her eye, to her nose, and how that areas sweeps to the cheekbone. The stroke of the pencil, really works to draw the eye through the image, Iβm drawn to that eye first, then up to the hat, then my eye sort of climbs over the rest of the image a bit at a time.. thereβs a lot to take in, but I donβt feel rushed to do so, if that makes any sense?
That ... talon, for lack of a better word.. Off the side of the hat is absolutely -wonderful- I want one. Get right on that, will ya? *g* Great work sweetness! It's amazing just how inspiring a couple of death threats can be. *grinning*
*squish*

Braaaaaaaainsssss . . . *cough* Um, yeah.
And I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Your threats mean nothing! I own your soul!
*hides*

Hold on, that would be brain-age not intestinal-age...q
π: 0 β©: 1
Either one. I really intended for it to be intestine just to be weird, but I realized that since it's on the head, it could be taken for brains too. I'll just leave it up to the viewer.

Interesting intestinal tube-ness on the headdress...q
π: 0 β©: 0
Holy friggin' WOW! I just can't find enoguh words to explain how much I like this. The shading used to portray elements of light and dark...the ornamentation of her headdress, etc (I REALLY like that). Very nice!
