blargh I put some glasses on and realized the hair looked bad, fixed it a bit

It's probably better this way. >_>

hmm looks like a little child..should it? ö__ö

but well done!

yeah, I accidentally deleted my comment. It's a little girl I turned into a mermaid

Beautiful definition in the face - And the hair just flows. Kudos mate!

I've done better but I felt like colorin' (Original by TRIP)

daaaamn what an awesome way to use the dodge tool! I tend to go overboard when I try to use it and it never looks as good as this LOL looks good to me! :>

I couldn't use ShiPro, so I retouched with normal, lul. Sry I just wanted to try out makin' lingerie. Original by tonma

I'm glad this happened and she didn't just get a penis for Christmas. nice colors and even the fluff texture brush works

I didn't use a texture brush, did it by hand. But yeah I almost gave her a penis &D

Well good job, then!

:D You did a great job, thanks. And the ear xD
It's open to any corrections, you know :)

Very nice! Tasteful, and still tasty.

I like it a lot!

only critque is that i think there would be more.. heighth of the top peice, it looks like the boob got painted, as appose to a thin peice of cloth on it. Still uber sweet though.

(Uploaded by Gendaru) Thanks again Gendaru ; ; I had that upload problem again, so it wanted to upload my turtle. Anyway, Just sort of disregard the bottom half of the picture. I don't know how to draw rocks or fish. (Edited on May 23, 2008, 10:48 am)

this makes me want to watch that show of the guy that drew "happy trees" and stuff. this is gorgeous.

that would be bob ross, he died a few years ago, was a nice guiy to introduce painting to people. That said, this is great, my main artwork is oil paintings like this. I think you did a great job with depth. I like how you massed the shadows together and showed form only in the light. Nice work i was looking over your devaint page and i noticed you had a question about water colors. Something if you don't use that helps is the acrylic medium you can mix with them. That will allow you to do layers, cause otherwise it just pulls off when wet again. Also gouache is nice if you want to put in opake areas. Homer used to use gouache, which if you don't know winslo homer, he is one of the masters of water color. I have been into using gouache on black watercolor paper. I personally don't like painting on white surfaces, and watercolor is transparent, so you kinda always work on white. But you might want to look into working with gouache along with your water colors. (Edited on May 23, 2008, 2:07 pm)

Amazing! O_o

I accidentally deleted a message from Matt that said "oh wow, I love you" I think that link needs a confirmation dialog... Anyway, this is really neat. I like how you put so much attention into expressing both the water and air environments, even the red tinge refracting through the surface layer. It must have been a challenge.

That is a beautiful ugly salmon. It's bizarre how much they change when they migrate. I really like the viewpoint and how the red of the salmon just pops. But, I can't make out whether that tuft of greenery on the right is grass in the foreground or skimpy trees in the background.

I love the details of the background o_o

That's awesome. Very pretty background above the water, and the line where the water begins looks really cool.

I've really enjoyed the pieces you've done so far. Keep up this great work. :)

lol I thought of Bob ross when I saw this too ^_^ I love the trees and clouds =]

Thanks for comments :3 I've been called Bob Ross more than a dozen times, haha

Wow, really beautiful. I love the water line. Makes me want to connect to my NW surroundings :p Really amazing job.

Lord help me, I love that salmon so much haha. Damn you and your beautiful clouds and stones and, well, you know, everything T_T

This is very pretty..even though the salmon are very ugly at this stage...I like the overall though..

(Uploaded by Gendaru) Yay thanks for uploading ; o; For some reason, when I pressed submit, it didn't send my turtle but sent my flower instead like I had been retouching it :C Anyway, this am turtle. Used a ref, durr

Holy shit, this is amazing! It looks so real!

This is TOTALLY fantastic!! Amazing job! The only thing that could make it absolutely perfect would be some sort of shine or shadow/highlight on the eyes, they look very 2 dimensional and dark compare to the rest. Otherwise, this is FREAKIN SWEET.

Erie, I know what you mean, but in the picture, he had NO shinies on his eyes. IT WAS DEMON TURTLE.

cool ground and nice water blending XD

Holy crap. Dude, you got skills.

this is incredible. What amazing detail. Those markings to the left and the right of his chin are tricking my eyes into thinking they're his mouth, covered partially by a large beak-nose, or even two nostrils. Making him look hilarious.

Literally, this loaded and I went "AWWWWH!!!!" really loud. Then I studied it more and went "WOAAHAHHH!" ...This is just -amazing- <3.

this is so realistic! the colours and everything! <3 i only miss the sparkle in its eyes. but otherwise - demon turtles ftw! buahaha...

O_o Amazing!

dude i just got back from that place! :o unfortunately i was too slow to see the turtle. this makes up for it. <3

This is sooooooo adorable T_T I love turtles <3 I wonder how long this took you to complete :d

O.O

Oh man! That’s super cute! I’m going to that place next week I hope I see one of those!!

D'awwwww!!
My only suggestion is that when you are copying a photo, make sure you have a good framework for all the three-dimensional structures of what the photo is OF, or else little details will end up looking kinda warped, such as with the belly plate in front of the flippers not quite seeming to line up with the rest of the shell.

If you're already doing that, well, it still needs a bit of tweaking, but otherwise, really nice job. This turtle is adorable and the colours are beautiful.

Woah. It's so vibrant it smacked me in the face. The turtle is very cute, too. Awesome.

wow...so nice...i like this turtle

And then I was "LIEK WOAH!"

Freaking awesome.

very good :D colors are nice and rich.

this is so incredibly, wonderfully, mind-explodingly amazing in its detail and colours and light and shadows and everything. the turtle looks so real! and the sea-floor and water in the background radiate peacefullness.

I forgot what I wrote here. (Edited on May 7, 2008, 9:27 am) (Edited on May 7, 2008, 9:28 am)

good grief, that's amazing O_O

That's just way too amazing. I'm really awestruck. You, my friend, are made of win.

I loaded the page, and out of my mouth,
"Oh my gosh that's pretty"

proceeded to click and save as! lovely work.

Wow! This is amazing... I can't think of anything that should be different. What stands out most is the composition. I really like that the flower is off-center... There's a swirling kind of motion going on that starts from the center of the flower and winds itself right back from the right.

whoa. more than i am impressed with the technical skill, i am really impressed by the awesome use of such a classical subject matter. good job!

*3* Wonderful! So detailed!

Brilliance. I love the shadows, they're perfect.

maaaang, that's so fresh. the color are so rich i wanna nibble on this picture. you really nailed the texture on the petals and the smooth way they appear... and the background adds a ton without distracting the eye from the central subject... though honestly it would take a lot of horrid color and gnomes or something to do that. mmmm. lovely.

Damn, this looks awesome. Love the shadows on the purple outer petals.

I have always been fond of purple colombine. :)

I absolutely *love* how you got such a tangible looking texture on those petals. It feels almost photo-realistic! Great shadows too <3.

Oh! Columbine! I have severasl varieties including this.
*saves*
The green is utterly vibrant.
But I suggest blurring some of the petals just a tad, they look a bit...thready?
Kudos for drawing a purple one, purple is my favourite colour.

very pretty. the colours are absolutely divine. i love the texture and the incredible sense of depth; the play of light and shadow. it looks so tangible, like i could pluck it from my screen and feel soft flower petals.

Um...I've been flower-obssessed all semester.....and this just made me have a mental collapse of wonderful-ness!!! You are AMAZING. DRAW FOREVER!!!
