'The smaller of the two was an astonishing figure indeed – a Fire Elven woman rather than a Dark Elf, wearing a fine mesh of black chain mail and an equally black, crestless helm. She was stunningly beautiful – a balance of foxlike Elven features with near-human fullness of mouth – but her beauty had a hard edge to it; the glowing copper-red curls beneath her helm were untrimmed and wind-snarled, far from pampered feminine ringlets, and her piercing, jade-green eyes shone with daunting fire. A grim-looking sword was girt at her waist. One of her slender hands rested menacingly on its hilt.'

Ah~ Kharais X3 This was the 100th comment prize for Alyssa, featuring her oh-so-evil Fire Elf, Kharais Marachi, from what is most definitely my favourite online novel (and rivalling the belgariad as my favourite novel, online or no), Soulfire Seeking. J00 must all read it, yepyep. Anyway. Kharais is cool~ and has a baneblade, which is that lovely deadly-poisoned sword she's waving threateningly there. She also has incredibly fun hair to draw and colour. Mmm, evil Elves X)

Work on body posture. I'm not so sure the left arm would be hidden like that. Also, keep working on your hands. It looks like it's about to drop the sword. The sword's pretty, and i like the texture in her clothes. The boots could use some improvement.

OI! I saw all the new pictures you put in your LJ, obviously, but you never said you had a ticket go through! Tsh! Now I have to comment on them all after you've already packed off to Pommyland ...

That's cos you've already seen~ them XD; What would I've said, anyway? "I have updated! =D You've actually seen them all, but I've updated anyway! =D"

Anyhoo, quite obviously I love this one XD A helpful artistic commenter I cannot be, so I will simply proceed to tell you what I like. First and foremost, I think your grasp of colours and textures is just great. There's something intrinsically 'lookatable' about your pictures - the colours suck the eyes straight in.

Second, I love your style. Yes, there are anatomical thingies and whatnot, but a single chronological look at the stuff in your gallery shows how quickly you're going to knock that issue over. I love the anime-like style you have, simply because it's not anime itself, which I'm a tad weary of. This is your own style - not everyone seems able to hold on to that!

*sparkles* Thankuu~! I've always envied 'proper' animé artists, but at the end of the day, few of them are really recognisable as that person's single style, so I like that my arts can actually be recognised as mine X3 So yersh, thanking you muchly *^^*

I want Kharais's baneblade XD
