I love the colors and pose. only one suggestion, she seems "incomplete" if you get my meaning.my characters are "unembodied" beings, free of a cumbersome physical form. as such, they do not NEED to eat, sleep, mate, or evacuate...so some parts of their anatomy are no longer necessary. our physical senses are just the "vehicles" for what our inner being experiences. spirit bodies are pure sensation, alone. and they respond only to love...PURE love!

I love how you made her body type a-typical to what I normally see drawn. I also really like the glowing markings on her body, and the beautiful wings. The lotus is also very lovely.thanks leanna^^ a woman's opinion about women's bodies mean a lot to me

I like how the Egyptian symbols and gods were inserted into the inspiration for the picture. It would be interesting to see more pictures like this.thank you! i would like to get back to doing more of these, cuz i really am "transported" by the process, and feel like i'm actually living it. to me, the whole egyptian thing is very much a "living" tradition. i have another one, that'll be uploaded with the next update...when i get 5 new ones done.

Ok... All the hears in my neck just rose...
Sure, it could have been the fact that I was eating a seriously sour apple, but I doubt that...
I was waiting for the perfect picture in your gallery to comment, since you had so many good ones, and I think I found a winner. At least in my heart... But trust me; that was not an easy journey! >.< I wish I was that good!!
It's just amazing.
