Tag As FavoriteComment
When Sifra, the half-elf, was a teenager, her mother made her attend dancing classes. Otherwise, she would only hang around the house and cause trouble. Unfortunately, Sifra was really bad at dancing and after she had stepped on everyone's toes and had been laughed at a lot, she decided to quit. The left picture has Sifra, the dancing teacher Lea and Sifra's mother. The centre picture has Corelea, another dancing student of her class. Lea had noticed Sifra had a crush on Coralea, so she asked Corelea to be Sifra's dancing partner.

Congratulations, you´ve actually managed to create an original and interesting character. Most of us have been stuck with stereotypes for ages, especially in fantasy literature (sci-fi authors are at least trying to invent new angles), so you´ve proved yourself to be an original. I´m loving this Sifra, was it, already.

As for this picture, it´s very lovely. I won´t say sweet and that´s a compliment, because the picture, despite it´s light colours and cartoon-likeness, actually talks about serious issues, like "fitting in" with the crowd, differences, painful love etc. I´m not usually a fan of cartoon-like fantasy, but your composition is good and i really like yous colouring in this piece as well. But the best part in it are the facial expressions: those are hard to do and you´ve managed to get them look real, eventhough the characters are so stylized. Keep up the good work, and remember to feed ypur imagination so it doesn´t wither away.

:-) Jana Weijers replies: "Wow, you really took the time to type this down. Thanks! I'm glad you say such nice things about Sifra. She is very important to me at the moment. "
