Art time. Not really something I have done before :P A mix of old and new techniques and a side effect of my trying to get the tablet work on my laptop.

Somewhat wuxia inspired. Rating PG. Wacom + Photoshop. Drawn to this and this on the playlist.

Saw this on Tumblr already, but now that I can leave a comment, I'll just say that she looks so beautiful. Love the flow of her hair and the colour of her clothes. Great facial expression too, somewhat expectant and very calm. <3 Lovely pic!

Thanks :) Guess it counts as "Try me if you dare" kind of expression :P

She's so pretty, and aaah, looks so strong. I love her face - it's open and at ease, there's even something of a smile there, even if she's not actually smiling.

I love it. *A*

I'm really glad to hear it all :DD Thanks :)

Saw this on tumblr, and I loved it <3. I just wish I could say something substantial, but I really love the colours, and the details (the hair, the lips, the eyes <3).

Even this is enough :D Thanks :)

It's really interesting, and very pretty! I like the way you used the colors for her dress - there's a smoky feel to them that contrasts very nicely with the rest of the picture. How to say? I think the dress has kind of an ephemeral look to it, almost other-worldly in a way. Very nice!

Thanks :) It's nice to hear such compliments :)

No problem! I'd actually love to see more pictures in this style from you in the future, too! That smoky appearance is one of the most interesting things I've seen - even her hair almost seems like smoke, so you could imagine her as either a living person or a ghost, and it works either way. Or maybe she's like an in-between...even more interesting! :-D

Sure :P I like this technique, so I'll surely use it again :)
