Taking to flight. I'm not even completely sure if she is weaving her hair into wings or what, but it's a nice image nevertheless. But check out the flock of those weird bat/crow/seagulls. What are they, anyway? >__<

Cool...Don't think I've seen anyone use this pose before. Great creativity in the piece too.

*does first comment elvish dance*

:-) Maija Viertola replies: "Thanks for the first comment! I was quite suspicious of the pose at first when I drew it, since I did it at school with nothing to use as reference. I'm still not quite sure if it's even possible to get one's hands like that (at least I caught myself drawing the thumbs on the wrong side and fixed it). But maybe it's fantasy-anatomy.... (I'm not fooling anyone, am I?)This is also the first woman that I've managed to draw in a long time. I'm too focused on men. ^__~"

And another picture that looks like it should be a statuette....I mean, she even has a pedestal!
If reality prevents a nice picture, then reality can step aside. But I believe that this pose's possible.
Nice image, nice idea...I'll just go away and come back when I'm more coherent, 'kay? 12

:-) Maija Viertola replies: "The "pedestal" is a sort of... air... current... thingie or something. Like ripples, but in air. I'm not that coherent either, am I?"

Well, since weird hair is present, they pretty much have to be A Flock of Seagulls. (Ah, the 80's.)

Somwhow, you have the talent to create unrealistic or impossible postures and make them work beautifully. Be proud that you're one of the few with that talent!

:-) Maija Viertola replies: "Thanks! Does that mean I will never have to study anatomy? teeheehee"
