Beautiful work, specifically love the details of the water and the helmet.
Would make a nice promo poster for 300

Congrats for the highlight, well deserved! ^^

W00t congrats for the highlight!
And awesome stuff painting this with a mouse, that's patience man, salut! *bow*
Nice find, I like the pose and concept.
Coolo, see you at Paint-o-Rama group

waaakss this is soo pretty!
much loves *muahh*
owww I wanna wall .....

Wow this is soo beautiful!
Can I ask for your permission to colour it?
I'll give you full credit of course.

I'm not sure if I have time now, but it's such a clean drawing it's perfect for a little colouring exercise since I can't draw as well as you do.
Let me know if it's fine with you, no offense taken if you say no

OH-MY-GOD this is awesome lacus, your hardwork and sleepless nights definitely paid off!
All done with a mouse as well, I salute your patience, truly.

Love the 'boldness' of this wall, the fact that you're not afraid to challenge yourself this much and to actually finished it off, that's very admirable. A lot of people including myself sometimes come up with huge concepts but then halfway realised it's too hard and give up, so I salute you again for pulling it off.

Okay, some feedback. I really like the sense of depth and the overall 'quiet waters' feel, not to mention your water reflection kickass. Everything is coloured nicely with shadows and highlights, looks great especially on the leaves and bushes. I would love to see more details on the leaves and some of the surfaces, but given the time and mouse limitations, there's not much to complain about.

Though I also have a gripe about the girl being too big, especially in comparison to the bridge and the island that she's standing on. Same goes with the lamp statue thingy on the background - which is fine now in relation to the girl but looks huge in comparison to the bridge. Anyhoos, small things, no big deal.

Well, glad I can be encouraging to you to get this wonderful piece finished - lol!
Merry Christmas to you, now you can relax and enjoy your holidays!

This is so adorable, lovely drawings!
Consider joining the Simpleism group if you like the minimalist style.
Great job!

Another first-time painter!
How did you find it? Would you do it again?

Interesting choice to go with a photo base, did you paint it from scratch with the photo as a reference or just work the photo to create a painted look?

It's pretty good so far but I think there are still plenty of room for details and more work refining the spicks and specks to really get the UPMPH! - you know what I mean. Could definitely do with more details on the hair, maybe her face and jeans as well. Her skin and the guitar is pretty well done but you can always try different things and see what happens.

Yeah I'm a firm believer that as small as they may seem, these little details really make a difference once put together. Now you know why I'm such a drawing tablet nazi.

Still, congrats for your first painting, massive effort!
Keep it up, and try to join the paint-o-rama contest if you can, looking forward for more entries

This is so sweet, definitely gonna be voting for it in simpleism. Roxors! ^^

Ohh sweetness, this is beautiful!

Some points though - I reckon the logs could be less uniform and have more details on them for added realism, could do with some water reflections for her arm and could do without the gray/brown area on the corner (what's that suppose to be?). And perhaps some water ringlets where objects like her arm and clothes obstruct the water.

But then again if you aimed for an old style jap painting type of look then you're pretty much right on the money the way it is now, I reckon.

Awesome job and congrats for your first painting! ^^

Have I commented on this wall before? I don't remember ..
But definitely remembered going jawdrop first time seeing it zonks ago ..
Totally awesome wall, love the painty stuff and the background idea+integration etc - simply amazing!

Love your original characters but I'm with candy re thighs look slightly uneven but still, this is an awesome piece that is both original and skillfully done.
Congrats, good luck with your thesis and looking forward to see more great work from you!

Oh wow this is simply awesome - love the pose, the details, everything!
Excellent drawing - keep it up!

Now this is definitely an example where painting comes very useful. Awesome job on extending the horse, love the glowing flowers and the hills on the background looks good - great soft colour choice.
Simply beautiful, congrats! ^^

Love the crisp maroon colour against soft sandy colour bg, nice swirlies but not so keen on the repeated image idea.

Love the lighting fx and the perspective - awesome scan!

I love this artwork, the sky and colours are peaceful and it's just simply beautiful.

What an aspiring image, great birdview perspective and unique unlike most scans.

Beautiful artwork, absolutely stunning ..
