Artist's Comments

Some of the greatest artists in the HP fandom have started doing fanart of each other. This inspired me to do fanart of my friends (some of the greatest artists I know, and I am so lucky to know them.)

My first painting is of Nika (asahii).

I am not very pleased with how this turned out, but ah well. I do hope you like it and that it resembles you at least a little. I apologize terribly if it does not.

I wanted this to have an almost 'watercolor'y feel to it. Digitally painted in photoshop elements with photo reference on Wacom Graphire tablet.

the eyes are scary. it reminds me of someone i know

it definately has a watercolory feel too it. you're very good with the shop and tablet.
her mouth seems weird, but most do when you take a picture at an angle like that. its hard to say much about how realistic it is without a comparison. it definatley looks like very beautiful girl painted equally beautifully on a computer somewhere.

man i'm rambly.

great work.

Gosh, that was the most coherent, kind review I've had in quite a while that didn't involve the words OMG or SQUEE!

Thank you for saying all those lovely things, especially about a piece I am less that confident about.

By the way, I adore your gallery. Wonderful stuff there, though I didn't get to see much because DA's being all wonky here on my end.

Pretty -- I also saw this on your LJ :) Your digital watercolouring rocks my world. It looks quite realistic; I'm sure asahii would <3 this.

har har.

I'm ignoring that, opting instead to pretend you used big words and possibly a brittish accent.
