SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Sofia Esperança

Wow! I couldn't decide which one of your wonderful pictures to comment on, so I've settled for the main page! ^_~ Your art is amazing. So realistic that I'm not suprised that some could mistake it for photographs! Take it as a compliment to your skills! So many of us (like myself) are doomed to be forever cartoony these days, it's a refreshing change to see your beautiful artwork.

Hey Sophie I like your drawings. You know what? my other name is Sofia too and I have other names too. I know how to draw very good too.

I would definitely say you should stick to realism in portraits...They're simply breathtaking! You're VERY talented; good job!

... I have to admit, I am a bit offended by that 'Jessica' person. Do whatever you want to do. It is best to try all artforms.

YES, NARROW MINDED PEOPLE OUT THERE, ANIME IS AN ARTFORM.

But it can be greatly over-exaggerated by some people.

I think you should stick to realism though. You are a great realism artist. Anime/manga should only be for people who are starting to draw, or want to become comic book artists.

Or, are just great masters in it already. No need to dip into it. Your stuff is great. If you have a 'sticky' personality, anime might ruin your style.

Grrr... I'm sorry, but ANIME ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT SOME ANIME ARTISTS CAN DO!!!

I do dabble in realism. In fact, I started off in it. So I am kinda speaking out of experience...
I just happen to like anime better. Real life is so... BORING! (Gah! Not your stuff, of course.)

Okay, I will leave you alone. I have said enough.

I was browsing galleries, and saw your picture thinking "hey! they can't put pictures up as icons!" o.o in other words ... your drawing = wow o.o

Very loverly piccies ya got herez! You draw very well, exspecially realistic picz of course! Loverlyz artwork and allz! ^___^

Beautiful work. I suggest doing more realistic drawings because you've got talent so few do! They seem like photographs of a real person except in black and white. But of corse, I love all of your work. Keep it up!

I wanted to let you know that your artwork is among some of the best I've seen--and I've seen plenty in my time. Your work stands out here--and all of these people are talented.

You capture something very tangible and real in the faces of your sketches. I am at once honored to see them and, admittedly a tad envious of your talent as well (but in a good way).

Blessings...

Your graphite work is obscenly beautiful and I so envy your skills.

thank you!
