Cruel Shizo, cruel. :P I agree the ears are a bit excessive, but what jumps out at me the most (besides a few incongruities in the face) is the fact that the stars pretty much disappear on the right side (behind her head) I don't know if this was intentional..and if so...maybe show a bit more instead of having them almost fade to nothing. But impressive piece for not having a Wacom.

Well originally the stars faded off intentionally because i wanted the focus to be primarally on the left side of the image where the actual face is and such. But i guess you're right, I should add more. As for the ears... well, elves do have big pointy ears... and i figured if i didn'nt make it really long people would think it was a Vulcan rather than an Elf. Hmm... incongruities in the face... I know what you mean, I just can't put my finger on it.

Okay... I just replaced it with an updated version with stars on the right and slightly more defined facial features...

That was done with a mouse ? Kickass picture man...now I am inspired to go try the mouse again.

Darkynz · Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2000 4:47 pm

Yeah, all mouse... unforutunately, because it takes so gosh-durn long to do! I also had to do it on Paintshop pro, which most people seem to think is a really bad program but to me it works pretty well.
