*squints* I'm having Issues. And I don't like it much. Issues with Photoshop, to be specific. I can't seem to find the appropriate balance between anime and painting, which bugs the hell outta me, cause, hello, anime fangirl here. I want to paint, but anime fanart kinda requires a certain degree of sticking to the lines. Am always bugged by anime art that doesn't resemble canon much. Translation = I'm in major, major artistic pain. And ravensilver suffers for it. I'm sorry, hun!





Now, I'm quite happy with how this picture turned out. Not very complicated, but made me happy. I think I might be getting the hang of the painting thing. Something's still missing, but we live and improve.

I'm not an art critic, but I know pretty when I see it. I'm seeing it now. ♥

^____^ Thank you! I'm all for pretty. Pretty works. Gimme pretty over some of the art and I'm happy.

oh that is just lovely. i love the color and the style. i can't tell the difference between anime and paiting. it's just beautiful. :)

Thank you! I'm very happy with how this turned out.

The main difference, as I see it, is lineart, which this pic doesn't have, but most of mine do.

Don't worry about it. I'm quite used to waiting on artists... ;)

I'd rather have what *you* are happy with than what you think *I* might want. :)

*hugs*

I'm still sorry. x____X I didn't want to mess it up. *glares at piccie*

*hugs back*

[ravensilver.livejournal.com]

Nah, don't worry about it. When it comes, it comes. I'm quite willing to wait. Better than having something that you're not happy with... :)

That's the prettiest thing I've seen all day (and that's saying alot considering I've looked in the mirror... totally joking about that part XD).

I love the softness and I think you've kind of found a balance between your paint style and anime drawing. You can feel the influence of the original art style, but you've softened it. And made it your own. I like it. It's dreamy.

:D I should add it to my job description: "providing things prettier than what you see in your mirror".

*huggles* Thank you! I was really trying to nail the painting thing.
