This is a semi-autobiographical charecter I created. She is a magic user, with some Native American elements. I wanted to put as many symbols and elements of magic and Indian influence that I could.

Well the artistic use of the 'x' sure shows magic and indians, pretty impressive

Magnifique. the wings are wonderful. all your artwork has lots of hidden surprises in it, keep up the great technique. (and thank you for the inspirations!)

Ooo! I really really like this. I just wish it were a bit bigger so I could see more of the details. But I love the butterfly wings, and all the animals. Especially the bird and wolf! I love wuffies! The women looks very well done as well, the folds of her dress and belt are soooo cool! But like I said I wish it were a smidgen bigger so I could see all the details! (g) Keep up the great faboo work!

I like the atmospheric use of colour, especially in the background. The figure looks very nice, and I like the native American elements, but the figure looks North American, and the name Xo'chitl is Aztec. I only know this because I have a friend named Xo'chitl. (yes, her parents are crazy.)

very nice use of colour. it blends so well! her head seems a little crooked, though... I don't mean to insult, but other than that it seems like a pro drew it! (hint hint: that's a comment) Well, onto the next picture I go!!

I just love the way you do these pictures! They really inspire me! The wings on the fairy are very beautifal. Ilove the shouting colors! (They tell me that you work hard on your pictures) This one is probably my favorite!

your work is excellent, I'm part Native American myself and you did wonderfully on the detail!
