SciFi and Fantasy Art: Whispers

Do you use models? if ya are, yer lucky to get some like this!
Someone give me a female lamp!..Don't I wish. *LOL* I use photographic references, sometimes combining two or more images to get the pose and body expressions I am looking for...a female lamp? Hmmm...an idea! No pun intended...*LOL*

This ones a lot better and her breasts are in proportion. Has she got her eyes closed or haven't they matiarialised yet.LOLClosed! *LOL* Hmmm...not materialized...cool idea!

Hi Richard, I hate typo's dont you? Yex, I sertanly du! *LOL* Mostly I correct them on Extranet, when I know my commentor is thinking the same way about it as I do! *LOL* How is the coloured pencil work going? Slow...very slow! I made a dragon today with coloured pencils! You'll never going to see it!! *LOL* Dragon? Where? Ah, come on!

Uh oh... :igh:: I hate criticizing.. specially when I'm basing it not on any knowledge or skill.. but on some stupid opinion that just happens to be mine.. But.. here I go: I'm a bit iffy on her face.. I mean... usually that's my fave part of the pic.. but... I mean.. the body's beautiful, but her expression... I don't know.. ne'ermind.. ignore me... You do wonderful work, anyway... much better then I could ever do it.

Richard Thomas Lankes aka 'Dirty da Vinci' replies: "Lacey, you know you have every right to criticize, so thank you for the honest evaluation. It means alot to me!"

Ok....First things first...Let me pick my jaw up off the floor...*Hands it to him* At the point where I am at, trying to do a drawing like any of these you have would take, well, a year or so for me to do. It takes me almost as long! Now, on the one criticism I have: Her mouth looks like it should be closed...Her whole facial area looks relaxed, except that her lips are stretched almost tight with her mouth open...Did you start with the mouth closed, then change it to open to make it appear like she was yawning as she woke up? I messed it up, friend. I should have taken into account the angles and facial expression before plunging into this one. You are right.

I love this chick if she was real every one would be with bonners when she walks past. Sorry, but I have to say..."Amen!" *LOL*

ooh ooh somone mentioned being colored? I'll do it! *laughs* your work is so beautiful! Now if only elfwood would get their uploads working again i'd be set to show you what i drew for you! yeesh..i'm all excited about it getting on and then there's no more uploading *sighs*

This is truly breathtaking. I adore it.

The face and hair is wonderful as in all the pics I've seen in your gallery... But what bothers me is that in every picture where you've drawn breasts, the nipples look like sort of glued on plastic things.

Nipples come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, Smilla. These may not be to her taste, but they certainly don't look 'pasted' on to me. A lesser man than I would have a joke here about them being 'drawn' on (or maybe a better woman [someone funnier than I, at any rate]).

I like this, but have to agree that it feels unfinished. I don't know why, but I suggest a bottle, just to suggest the genie concept a bit more...
