This is a pic of my only 1.21 meter tall, 8 year old Michaelite Arukael. Doing the hair was so horrible, that I can't believe it only turned out to look like THAT *shrieks* It was supposed to be more... golden... or whatever. But it's hard to manage a colour that actually looks like blonde and not like yellow, so I guess I should be satisfied with the result instead of complaining ;)

Humm, I think her hair is quite okay. You certainly have done better but it's not a total mess up here. I like the light in this picture. It looks very cold, almost as if she was looking out of the window at early dawn. Arukael pretty much captures my image of the Michaelites. She looks serious and yet kind. Due to the hairdo she like all members of her orders appears kind of genderless without being masculine or even ugly. Very well done!

:-) Stefanie Kern replies: "I can't believe I haven't answered you yet... well, I guess I might have refered to this IRL but it's so impolite of me *sobs* I'm sorry...ANNERSCH!"

BRAVO! She looks like a girl. Your artwork is very nice, don't get me wrong. Her hair isn't that bad. It's pretty good.

:-) Stefanie Kern replies: "Yay. She IS a girl hardly 8 years old."

:-) Stefanie Kern replies: "Now I'm really running out of ways to say "Thank you" once again 12"

I think that this is a very good piece. The hair is fine as far as blondes go. The face and body structure are fitting for an 8 y/o girl. My only question is why the single armored shoulder plate? If there was more armor I wouldn't have asked but I was simply curious that's all.

:-) Stefanie Kern replies: "It is part of the RPG "Engel" that Michaelites (the order she belongs to) have a single shoulder plate, which the young angels decorate themselves, so it is not, that I was to lazy to draw the rest of the armor. 12At least, they still have to fly and I believe, that 8 y/o children just aren't strong enough to soar with all the weight of a full armor. Thanks for your comment 12 "

This is gorgeous! I love the plump little mouth. Really exquisite, I'd like to see more!

:-) Stefanie Kern replies: "Though my reply comes late: Thanks for your comment. My intention was to give her a very puppet- like appearance and a doll- face. I'm glad I didn't fail and you like it. 2"

This reminds of me of Joan of Arc for some reason. I'm not exactly sure why. I like it though, very nice.

wow. This is a very skillfully done picture! Its very powerful, and she seems almost sad yet determined, i think. Did you do this with watercolours? If so Im doubly in awe, as I cant use any type of paint to save my life! Keep drawing!!

1 Stefanie Kern replies: "Heya Elinor!Thanks for your comment and first of all: No: I haven't done this is watercolour. I do most of my pictures with coloured oil pencils from Faber Castell called "Polychromos". They are damn expensive but they're worth it. 12 My only pic done in watercolours is the one with the deep sea merman on it- but I'm working on others."

Absolutely gorgeous! I love how you do texture; those wings are superb. And those eyes!
