this was copied from an old art book before an awful lot of you pitters were even born, and Orph was still young and firm, with full bowel control. :rolleyes:

i drew it for a friend, but it found it's way back to me recently. /me was quite glad to see it again. :biggrin:

i guess i spent as many hours working on it as i would on a really big, really complex map. it roughly 20 inches square, so i had to scan each corner and try to match up the 4 scans. thats what the dodgy lines are all about.

The shading on the wrinkles and all the little intricate details are really impressive. Very nice.

That's so sterotypical ... anyway.

The clothing is terrific. The only negative thing I'd have to comment on is the proportioning of her shoulders width (shouldn't be that wide, unless she's really a man lol) and her hair reflection in the mirror.

That is some beautiful shadowing though such as, her night gown looks like silk.

Just, as everyone should (no matter how good you are) don't even start detail until you've got proportions how you want them. Because everything else in the image looks pretty well proportioned.

Better then what I can do now ... i used to be able to do this sort of stuff, but ... using a keyboard doesn't really help your ability to bend your wrist :lol:

Also, the reason why I said the negatives was that the positive list is much longer :smile:

Made the year I was born. Her right shoulder looks a tad funny, and so does the reflection of her neck to head. But still dman amazing D:~~~
