Named because their eyes are so huge. That wasn't really on purpose, somehow things just seem to show up until it's too late to fix them Don't ask me who they are, I was just playing with skin tones. I was going for twins when I started, but the top one just would NOT cooperate, and she ended up older and tougher-looking. So it's up to people's interpretation now, they can be sisters or mother and daughter or lovers or whatever floats your boat. I picture them looking into a mirror in their room at night, talking about something that will happen tomorrow to the younger one. I think it's because she's smiling a bit more. I like her eyes. My eyes, actually... in fact, if her jaw-line were a bit more square and her mouth were bigger, she could be me with a paint job... eh, whatver. Mirror-for-reference syndrome, it plagues me still.

this was also the first time I found and excurse to use that pink color, I have loads of colors that I never use and that bugs me sometimes.

AMAZING! I love this picture, it's detailed, and colourful. I love how realistic they are and their poses. The girl holding her braid is incredible! I can't wait to browse you other Pictures!!!

Also, I am writing a story called The Eyes, and I would love to know if I could base their descriptions on these two girls. I'll write down that you inspired the way that the two girls (Arkinianna and Junia) looked. Please consider ^^

Also love the eyes - seems to me they look Mexican or possibly Mayan. Hair braiding is beautiful. The folds and draping of the fabric is very well done, and the colors of the dresses complment each other..

i’d say sisters, and in my head, their mother is dead, and they’re excited about a marriage or something! 10 i don’t know, that’s what popped into my head!
