Can mountains be the
Boundary between real and
What I wish could be?

EDIT: Mod's Choice 6/29/05
A very big thank you to the Mod who chose this! I really appreciate it! And another big thank you to everyone who has commented. I really don't hate it as much as it sounds! I swear! I didn't think I was whining. Just giving a realistic assessment. But thank you all so much for your wonderful comments and encouragement! I'm so glad you found something in this mess to like....
Just kidding! ;) Don't hurt me.

Started this about a year ago when I just felt like playing with clouds. Then I decided to play with mountains. And then I decided to play with trees. And then I thought, 'Wow, this isn't horrible. Let's try making something of it.' So then I tried -- and failed -- to draw Kyra leaning on a balcony railing. Very much disappointed in myself, I set this aside and went on to other projects, periodically returning to my ill-fated attempts to draw a satisfactory Kyra. Finally, after my more or less successful results with Dev, Ruan, and Kyra's portraits, I found a photo reference of an acceptable pose and have finally finished it.
I liked this better when it was still a work in progress. I hate the balcony and the lighting on Kyra. I meant it to be primarily backlit, but instead I just have an inconsistant light source. I love the tiny trees back near the hills though, and the pretty rocks behind Kyra.
