It was a commission: a nice lady asked if I can make an sort of 'inspiration card' for her daughter, who's going to a college to another state. I made a picture, and she loved it, though she asked me to make a few changes, and the final result looked like this. Still, I like this version better. So...
Breathe!
Drawn with a mouse in Macromedia FreeHand11, 2006.

Yippie, updates! I love the way you used the colours here, how you manage to make greenish-yellow fit with the pink and purple (does that sentence make sense?).
Great atmosphere in the picture

Heh, I have always loved wild color schemes2 I think that lots of the colors, that many people won't ever put in the same picture, are actually working nicely together... 10"

I love see the sun come up in the morning, so this one caught my eye right away. It must have been a thrill to be asked to design something for someone on a personal level like this. Id consider it an honour if someone asked me to do this, and you'v rose to the challenge so well. The title "Breath" seems so right as theres something very fresh about the whole image. I think maybe its the floaty feel the fairy gives off. Puts me in mind of that refreshing "wind in the face" feeling. I checked out the others version too and i have to say, those little flourishes you placed in the corners are beautiful (If flourishes, are what they are called?) did you design them yourself? They look very professional. Im kind of into that decorative stylising at the moment with my work, and yours are very inspiring indeed. Well done on a great job 2

11 Anya Žbroom riderŽ Kholodova replies: "Thank you! Heh, well, if you ask me, I'd say that the best way to greet the rising sun is to finally get scrambled out of the computer, and to get finally into the bed2) But as a symbol sunrise is great, and the colors of the sunrise (especially at the seashore!) are always so pretty, so I thought that it'd do.Yes, the small ornamental corner details were designed by me. Just like out ancestors, I like to put meaning even in the ornaments... those have the "moon phases" Goddess symbol, loved by neo pagans 2"

Oh my Lord, the colors are the most beautiful thing I've seen! The clean lines are so liquid and blend perfectly with the theme. Seriously, these are my favorite colors; looking at it is like eating frosty sherbet on a tropical beach. Your talent is astounding and gorgeous.

You're the only person I know who uses digital color gradients so sweetly! I usually avoid them due to fear of failing to blend the objects well in the end.
I like the gradient hands and arms... And the hair and all. The title is very suitable; it's a refreshing picture. A job perfectly done 2

11 Anya Žbroom riderŽ Kholodova replies: "Thank you so much, Maryam, for visiting me again and the loveliest comment! It's nice to know that you are chacking my gallery time to time!
I have visited your home page, and I must say that it's wonderfully done, and has a ton of the new great art. I enjoyed my visit a lot!2"

Wow its brilliant.
It proves that simplicity can be more beautiful than complex pieces of art

11 Anya Žbroom riderŽ Kholodova replies: "Ah, thank you so much!
Yes, I have to agree with you: sometimes simplicity is the best, especially for the "inspirational card" type of pictures... Thanks again2"
