Artist's Comments

Edit 3/1/09:
HOLY COW thank you all for the comments and support!!! I was so surprised when this piece suddenly got a surge of views. It took me some time before realizing what had happened. Thank you so much for the Daily Deviation feature! I'm really flattered. Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it a lot!



---------------------------
EDIT: The weird cinematic style border was bothering me, so I changed it to something simpler. I hope it didn't reduce the composition quality. I also resized it so it's not crazy on bandwidth ^^; *Please download image to view in original size*


I'm back on Deviantart! I hope I improved even though I haven't drawn for some time. I loved working on this piece. I feel that it's a big improvement from my previous drawings. I'm trying to learn how to paint more now, working more with backgrounds. I loved working on every detail of this pic at 300% this size! I forgot that some things would be lost after I brought the image size down to a reasonable dimension ^^; It was a lot of fun.

Halcyon by ~Frostocelot is just, straight up, lovely! The perspective of the character is so well done and the details in the outfit are amazing! I personally love that sword a ton as well! (Suggested by `hellobaby and Featured by `Damaged927)

I always felt that I hadn't achieved what I wanted to achieve. I always felt I could get better. That's the whole incentive.

The amount of work you did on the details really paid off. This is a beautiful piece of work, from the shading and coloring, to each individual piece of bamboo. *fave*
