Thanks a bunch!

O.O me watches

hehe...and I'm very thankful for it ^__^

OO! Wow. That pic is awesome! Really.

Thanks, so glad you like it!

I've already faved the other version, and still don't know what to say.....

hehe...Well, both have an apeal to them all their won...That's why I had to keep both up.

I've been comparing the two for a while, and I think you accomplished what you set out to do by making it more dramatic. It certainly is. I personally like the other one a tab bit more. I like the warm colors I suppose and the peacefulness of it. I really like the light coming down on her in this version though. Really great job on both of them!

Yeah, I like them both the same for different reasons...the warm colors are the main thing I like about the first too ^__^

Another fantastic job, another addition to my favorites! ^_^

Thanks!

yay it looks really better ^^

hehe...in it's own way, yeah ^__^

Love this one too, you're a fantastic color artist!

I plan on working more with digital I think...Since I just got painter! Can't wait to see what I can do with it hehe.

Wow..I am at SUCH A loss for WORDS here.

I have NEVER seen a picture THIS great before O_O;
This much dama inside of it is high and wow...the colors are breath-taking...wonderful art here and I hope you continue! :D

Oh wow...thanks a lot for your very kind words *blushes*

Very beautiful and breath-taking piece. Your colors, theme, and subject all flow magnificently into a gorgeous rendition of life.

Faving this.

I agree with you Faint, since those words fit her picture.

*smiles brightly* thanks!

I'm very glad people like my work...It really makes me smile...Thank you ^__^

Wow, amazing lighting!

YAY! Lighting is the key in this one! ^__^

Very Cool. I really like the concept. Is there a story behind this image? Anything going through your head at the time you decided to do this image?

Actually it was one of those pictures that just kind of evolved on it's own...along with the name. Little by little it created itself really...And thus the name ^__^

hehe thanks!

Your welcome lovely mistress of art.

I think it would be more 'dramatic' if the fur was more subtle - less defined. If this were done, more attention would be focused on the face and the glowing light. Only my opinion.

I agreee with that, but I don't want the face and light to be the focus...just the overall feel...if all the focus was drawn to the face and light it would feel a bit lopsided in my opinion.

this looks great, but i think that drawing like every lil heair on the entire body is a bit of an over kill. the hair tho looks fine and on the tail. when u look at a dog, lets say from a distance, u dont really see every hair, its all blended in with our eye. you can only really see the hair or strands is if its in clums or patches where they come together. just giving ya a lil tip ^_^;;

Oh I most certainly already know that...This isn't exactly a far away picture though. The camera is practicly right next to her.

stunning texture and colour.

Thank you so much...That's kind of the same comment I have for you about your wonderful "Heart to Heart"

holy christ almighty! this is asolutly amazing!!

hehe...well thank you very much *blushes*

bows head towards her beauty and great art skills.

Mmmmm... VERY pretty. Nice work, I'll be looking forward to your future pieces! :)

At first glance I thought it was Red XIII from FF7. But this is an amazing peice of work you have here.

Painting with light. Unf.

Beautiful colourscheme and lighting - the water in particular is wonderfully done, and the fur texture is quite striking as well.. you sure captured that intensity! Great work.

zomg!

fav it at once!

Astounding! I especially love the textures.

Gorgeous in execution and beautiful in its details.

Oh, man.
I agree with themocaw.
It's completely... stunning.

WOW, nice work!!!

Very wow!
The lighting and water are gorgeous and really make the character look realistic. Amazing work. ^_^

not my style,but....wow... HOW DID YOU DID THIS. amazing coloring

Ooh shiny. There's some nice reflections going on there, especially the lighter ones on the back.

Gorgeous coloring!

Very beautiful.

Amazing fur! ^^

Inspiring.

Now I can't decide which version I like more :\

...It takes my breath away.
Favorite, without a doubt.

*jaw drops*

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Seriously. This is why they invented the favorites button.

Err...what can I say that hasn't already been said? :confused:

Great work! The detail is amazing:)

Amazing! What do you use?...

The detail work in this one is so amazing and well-handled, and I love what you get out of those pure blues and oranges. You are a lighting master.

Holy moley, HTF did you do that!? That's friggin' tremendous!!

Can I be your new best friend and learn all you know?

Hmm this is one one of the best pics I have found on this site.I dont know why but I got the shivers when I saw it.The joining of fire and water,the light from above,the stard above.Very spiritiual.Reminds me of Temperance.Thank you for making my week.

stars* I meant.

Late to the party, but... this is one of the most incredible pieces I've seen to date. Awesome work.

Already in my favorites, love the detail.

of the two i had to fave this one for the pure dramatic purity to this the lighting the depth and range of colors god this is awsome

"a moment of birth, of life, of understanding, it blossoms as the universe for just an instant pauses for just once in awe, the words let there be light imortalized for all time"

:)

It is such a very lovely piece. . .

Bravo!

OMG!

Damn impresive diff between the two versions. Good Work

hehe I own a copy of this picture in secondlife ^*_*^ ^*_*^. Great picture!!

wow this is awesome it looks like you made it on a maya then posted it.

It doesn't look THAT realistic...I have yet to build anything in maya XD

you should try its pretty fun.

This is amazing! Wonderful colouring

Wow, I mean, anthro charactrers tend to be furry, but for some reason I'd never really though about drawing it with that level of detail, that works great, I especially like the the blend of colours.

+ Watches back ^^

Wow, this is beautifully done. Excellent work with the lighting.

D: *awe*

OMG THIS IS SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful piece. Great detail and lighting. Just love it.

This is incredible work! Every detail is perfect and the change in lighting and contrast really help bring this picture out.

comparison? what comnparison? this pwns all!! but seriously, it is absolutely stunning and beautiful!!

fan absolutely tastic
(lost words)

This is like, one of the most beautiful pieces of artwork I've ever seen, ever, in my whole life. I just love everything about it, especially the textures. It almost seems like if you reached out and touched it, it would be real. I think it's just breath-takingly beautiful. I can't even remember if I've commented on it already, but if so... no matter. It's more than deserving of double commentage. xD

I feel insignificant now

This is............ amazing O_O
I'm speechless- I can't begin to explain how beautiful this is

this one does look alot more intense then the original.
the original is fine as it is.
but i have to say in my opinion.
this is an improvement to the significance of the piece.
it's absolutely beautiful.
and you did a wonderful. outsTanding job.

The lighting in this is just awesome! So is the fur texture. :)

The background looks as good as the character. I like the water especially. :)

This picture is absolutely beautiful, the amount of detail that has been put into it is stunning. You definitely deserve a round of applause for creating this.

Wow! Excellent drawing, I loved it. Is very well done!

Words cant describe how awsome your coloring skill is! What program do you use? I started useing painter x for my work.

I use photoshop CS2 This one was done with a mouse even @_@

Well thats purtty damn good for photoshop and a mouse!

Thanks ^__^

the coloring is awesome, the details are pristine (especially in fur and water) and the colors go well together to make a beautiful scheme and mood. I especially love the use of shading here

Very well done!

Stunning!

incredible. I love creation stories. This is really nice
