Artist's Comments

Time for a new ID. Hopefully this'll fit on my display page properly.

And this is what i look like, basically. I like self-portraits, i think they tell a lot about the artist. I also think i'm not very good at them, i tend to glamorize folk. So, this was an attempt to show me for what i look like, including the sloppy messy colouring. This is pretty much accurate.

I think this is absolutely gorgeous. I love your pose and expression, and the soft colors and messy lines. :'D Very lovely style, on a very lovely lady. <3

thanks, i'm getting more comfortable with not fussing to 'fix' things, and just letting my raw original concept show through in a finished piece. i really appreciate artists that can do it, so I hope someday to be up in their ranks.

:heart: you're the best, rabs! *flings epic love at*

*gives teh thumbs up* It's always good to see a slightly "rougher" appearance to art sometimes.
