Oh wow, this is brilliant! Think I like the second background slightly more, actually, but I couldn't say why. I've never been able to draw clothes very successfully, but you do them so well.

[mihane_echo]

Thanks so much! I'm quite proud of my clothing, it's really the only thing I do draw well. (Ask me to draw a puppy or a vase of flowers and see how well that turns out...) :p

And I still can't decide which I like better, personally; theyre both romantic but the purpley one is more intimate somehow-- I dunno!

[lemon_pencil]

Oh, definitely not the only thing but certainly one of your strengths :) Yesterday I found the best way to avoid drawing clothes - I went to a Life Drawing class! Naked model = slight awkwardness, but no annoying fabrics to fail at...

Yeah, that's just it - it's intimate, and they stand out more I think. Plus the purple contrasts really nicely with Donna's hair.

[mihane_echo]

Hee, well thank you. That must've been a fun class. Tbh Im a bit terrified of drawing nakedness, cause there's no clothes to hide your failings behind, lol! I would love to do a class one day tho, especially if the model was a man. (Im not being gutter-minded, hear me out!) Im awful at drawing men below the waist (I mean the hips/backside/legs, honest) and I could use the practice.

Oh Wow beautiful!! Ur so good at drawing.
Also, where can I get her outfit? lol Gorgeous!

[mihane_echo]

Thank you! Ikr, aren't the clothes lovely? I wish I'd designed them. And that the lady who DID design them was selling them, I would wear almost all of the outfits she's made!

This is, as ever, absolutely stunning! I adore the way you've done the hands, and also the way the Doctor is holding her. Beautiful!

[mihane_echo]

Thanks so much KB. Im really fond of the hands as well, but then I like hands anyway.

And you know me: there can never be enough embraces between these two to make me happy. <3

[numbuh12]

This is really beautiful. I especially love how you drew Ten's hands (I have a thing for them>_>). Donna's hair is also gorgeous, hehe. Fantastic job!

[mihane_echo]

Thank you much! You too with the hands, huh? I love hands. I think Dave Tennant's got really pretty hands. And thanks, I love doing her hair. <3

I like the second background better because I think the look is more 'night timey' and more intimate.

Your art is so yummy looking, my eyes wish they could eat it with a spoon.

P.S. I wish I could buy meago's clothes! They're fun and gorgeous!

[mihane_echo]

hehe, Everyone likes the second one best so far. It is more intimate than the first, but I can't really pinpoint why I like the first one so flippin much. (It's the ivy. Gotta be. Explosion of ivy = cute, apparently)

Also LOL thank you! Favorite comment ever. ;B

If only I had any sewing talent, I would make her clothes myself, cause UNF. Pretty.

[canterlevi]

The ivy in the second one makes me think they're cuddling in a private and quiet alcove in a peaceful garden somewhere after dark.

When you write your fics, do you picture them looking like this or like the actors that portray them??

[mihane_echo]

Ooh, I like that image. Very sweet. <3

Uhm... Depends on the scene. I'd say 98% of the time its David and Catherine. They do all the work in my head, just looking at each other. (Gah, the chemistry!)

But I grew up on a lot of Japanese manga, overly romanticised and highly melodramatic stuff like Sailormoon and Fushigi Yuugi. So if my prose start getting a bit soap-opera-y I'm probably thinking more If Doctor Who Were a Shojo Manga than the telly show. ;3
