Artist's Comments

Traditional art is a great diversion when you don't have access to your computer. :)

A gift/sort-of-trade for :iconjunryou-na-kokoro: of her character Pureheart, who is unique but thankfully free of excessive accessories. If you haven't seen JNK's gorgeous icons, go check them out! They are like tiny little works of art.

This gave me the opportunity to try something a little different, too. Instead of drawing right on my scrapbooking paper, I drew and coloured this on Bristol Vellum in coloured pencil. Then, I very carefully cut the form out by hand and pasted it. I was going to add a few outlines with gold paint, but it seemed busy enough as is.

Pose was referenced from The Wolf Almanac, photo by Monty Sloan.

You really amaze me with your traditional work.. I wouldn't think this was traditional until I looked very closely. The backround compliments it very nicely, too. You made it work very well with the cut/pasting. I'd be to adraid of messing up to cut it out. XD;

Oh my gosh! This is absolutely gorgeous!!! *cries* You did such an amazingly beautiful job on this, the colors are amazing. I love the background - you did such an amazing job with the cutout that I honestly thought that you drew it on there!

Thank you so so much for this! Suddenly, my icon doesn't seem like enough to compensate for the wonderful work you put into this. I'm gonna put everything into that icon, I swear an oath on that. Again, thank you so much! :glomp:

I'm glad that you liked it! She was certainly fun to draw. A wonderful character design without being fifty different neon colours. :D Plus, it was a fun challenge to see if I could do the cutout properly. Now that the first one turned out well, I might have to try my hand at a few more!

Don't worry, I'm sure I will love the icon. All of your others have been amazing! :D
