Artist's Comments

*cackles madly*
I know, I know I'm late. I haven't been feeling well lately so I postponed working on this drawing for too long, but it was worth it!

FULL VIEW PLEASE!!!

Sketch: 2 Hours
Outline: 5.5 Hours
Coloring: 23 Hours
Mood: Tired =_=.....

But oh so happy! I introduce my best, and then I mean absolutely best drawing ever! XD! Some of the highlighting and shading is wrong (the face should have been a LOT darker, but that just looked downright ugly). Heck, what am I talking about. *hugs the drawing*
I'll probably alter a few minor things here and there, but for now, I :heart: it.

For people putting me on devwatch: Please keep in mind my drawings aren't usually this detailed. Don't expect me to make another one like this anytime soon. This is the best drawing I have made sofar.

Okay. I love the coloring. It's very clean and simple. *thumsb up*
Umm.. personally I find this rather busy but I'm a minimalist when it comes to sketching. *shrugs*
It's just that there's so much to look at that it's hard to find the focal point which is the witch in the middle. Although you did try to frame her with the thron plants it didn't really work that well. Atleast for me anyway.

Hehe, it is very busy indeed ^^".
I'm not exactly a minimalist but I've always been poor at drawing details. So I took some detours to force myself to add detail to this drawing. I considered adding a focal layer (black, erase spots of origine of light, gausian blur to give 'shining light' effect), but it didn't really look good, and I'm not aiming for a good focal point. I also tried making the plants, background and animals darker to focus more on the witch, but I prefered it better this way :).

Thanks though ^^.

Wow.. excellent coloring job on this, and the character is drawn really well on this. I find myself wondering why this isn't on the front page along with the rest of the favorites of people. THis looks as good (even better) then some of the halloween deviations on the front page.

Very nice work

O0O! Woah, nice! I love the colors and the composition! The dress also gets mad love from me. I love the brushing you did to the sky, it makes it more colorful even though it's night. Nice making the moon a blurry since it's kinda of a misty cloudy night. I don't the face needs to be darker comparing with the rest of the picture, then the rest of the picture needs to me darker. You hard work really pulled off here!

Always do your best!

Lol, thanks ^^, glad you like it.

It isn't on the first page because I don't have a lot of 'fans' and 'stalkers' yet :(. But I'll get there eventually XD.

Ah I was thinking that was the reason as well...

Because that is great artwork that has the quality of easily being on the front page

Very crisp with great coloring and a unique style. Besides the hand on the left being a little thin in the palm, it's fantastic.

Wow.. you sure do have digital coloring down. I like your style, it's very soft, and your use of lighting is amazing.
