Raephium Featured By Owner Jan 30, 2013 Student General Artist

I actually went to one of these in 2003. Their website has images of me actually IN them! ;3

OchreJelly Featured By Owner Jan 31, 2013 Digital Artist

That's pretty neat. \o/

I felt I had to comment, since I know Liiga. ;3 It was a blast, we had 6 hours of wild fun and drinks and lots of other interesting things. Next time there is one, you should drag Liiga to one in LA and make her dress up as a fairy. :3 [I know she's going to kick me for commenting that]

I don't think I'd survive such an attempt.

I've got my future to consider here!

Raephium Featured By Owner Feb 12, 2013 Student General Artist

I was severely 'mookied' for saying that. XD Huhuhu

The lighting is well done and the pose of the character makes her look like she is at a party.
The background brings out the fantasy element.
Good job!

SYoshiko Featured By Owner Jun 15, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

mburleigh8 Featured By Owner Jun 15, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Very nice

Crow-the-Red Featured By Owner Jun 12, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Beautiful work! I especially like the area around the right shoulder, the lighting is spectacular right there, as it is everywhere else~
Wonderful~ <3

OchreJelly Featured By Owner Jun 12, 2012 Digital Artist

I have to admit I've never had anyone specifically tell me they appreciate a shoulder.

Generally I fail at shoulder-anatomy in some small yet horribly unsatisying way. So despite this one being pretty old by now, I'm pretty happy with these developments.

Thanks.

Crow-the-Red Featured By Owner Jun 12, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

No prob, broseph.

lucydarkwood Featured By Owner Jan 18, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I really like the lighting in this piece, it really accentuates the color scheme you used.

OchreJelly Featured By Owner Jan 19, 2012 Digital Artist

What can I say, I like orange and blue schemes.

lucydarkwood Featured By Owner Jan 19, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Ahhh artistic weakness. So much love.

I'm not sure why you are not happy with the face or background. I personally think this is one of your best pictures. Some of your pictures look pasticy, but this one looks real. Such a good job, I LOVE it.

OchreJelly Featured By Owner Dec 30, 2011 Digital Artist

I can't remember why I didn't like the background when I posted this one. The face is just a little off proportion-wise, though. At least to my eyes. But it works for the image so it's no big deal.

Anyways, thank you.

Hidden-Rainbows Featured By Owner Dec 31, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

Your welcome. I just love your artwork. Your artwork inspires me to try a more realistic approach to some of my art. I hope I can paint as good as you some day

How long does it usually take you to make one of these paintings?

OchreJelly Featured By Owner Dec 31, 2011 Digital Artist

Depends on how lucky I am that day, really. Sometimes things go quickly and I get stuff right the first time, other times I have to rework everything multiple times and I very am undecisive.

So translated into real numbers, it can be anywhere from 8-72 hours, or more, of actual work-time.

Hidden-Rainbows Featured By Owner Jan 3, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Okay thank you. That is good to know! It is very similar for me too actually. I am a HUGE perfectionist so if something is not right I will work on it forever. It's really hard to finally say 'this piece is finished'. That can be a bad and a good thing though right? I just want you to know that your art is very inspiring

OchreJelly Featured By Owner Jan 4, 2012 Digital Artist

Honored to hear it, thank you.

Yeah, well there's a saying that an artist only chooses when to stop working on a piece, but never truly finishes it. \o/ It's fairly true, though sometimes you hit the sweet spot where something seems just right without any extra work.

It's all about balance I guess.

Hidden-Rainbows Featured By Owner Jan 10, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Totally about balance. Thanks for responding to me. It's good to know that other artists go through the same thing I do lol.

Pretty !!!

Draebox Featured By Owner Oct 29, 2011 Professional General Artist

As with all your pieces (you have become my favourite artist in the world!!) I think this is beautiful! I think your watermark is fine - I can see enjoy viewing it so don't worry too much about it. Having suffered from people taking credit for my own traditional stuff before I know how annoyig it is when people don't appreciate the time and effort artists put into their pieces (and money spent by their clients).

I myself find no flaws with it at all, and as you mentioned that you were not so pleased with the face and mask I took a closer look there. I think it's ok; the only thing that caught my eye were the scales on the skin - it makes her look like she has spots.

Overall, another amazing piece from my favourite artist! I have a feeling I'll be hiring you in the future
