This is probably my favorate watercolor to date. She's Maria-hime (Princess Maria for those of you non-Japanese speakers) and the sword and round, green gems are all part of some story of hers that I have yet to figure out.

So cute! I love her eyes and face, especially the way her hair is falling over her eyes but you can still see them a little

13 Eva N. Schiffer replies: "Thanks Joanna! That's a style that I picked up entirely from Anime (mostly from Utena I think). I like how it gives faces a more dramatic (than realistic) feel. "

this is good! I agree with the previous comment, the only thing I could say is that maybe the hands are a little small...but very nice colour, good eyes and detail.

1 Eva N. Schiffer replies: "Thanks Catherine! Yea, if I was ever to do this picture again (which isn't that likely) the head would get smaller, the hands would get larger, and the sword would be far more realistic. (Ah the sword... it shames me so...)"

I'm thinking the breasts are a little weird... In a bad way. Uh.... But the rest me like muchly. U have sum talent w/ the watercolor pencils.... I hate those things. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

:-) Eva N. Schiffer replies: "Heh, so you'd be talking about the "Masks..." picture then? The anatomy in that one is rather wonky, but it was really the face I wanted to look real."
