Artist's Comments

*does a little dance* what a way to start off the month of July~ >3 deviation time!

Hurr. I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out (( *Gasp* satisfaction! Blasphemy! T__T )) at least... for now. I've always sucked at childish features/chibiness, so I hope the ugliness doesn't offend anyone. XP But I tried~ I'm very pleased to go back to my strand by strand hair, since I always thought that fit the best with my art. I was just... experimenting :ninja: yes, that's it.

EDIT>> Here's the other version, in which I added wings and a halo. But I didn't like it that much, so I didn't use it.

She's supposed to symbolize hope, of some sort. And for the overall color scheme, I wanted to try soft pastellish tans, but place emphasis on the eyes (( Hence the blue )). I hope it doesn't look -too- bad. I'm hoping to go into some sort of color/mood series, so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them! :3 I already have the blues done, and will be submitting them .... later. But I'm at a loss for what else to make now.


^^ Full View would be loved~

Those eyes are so cool. XD They remind me of those dolls everyone seems to be getting lately. :) She does make me think of hope, but also of curiosity and innocence. I think you did a fantastic job on this one. ^____^
