very pretty

Thank you!

Awesome work as always ^_^

Thanks! Now, as long as Dumi stays quiet, I can stick to other projects

lol lunch project hehe, you should have more lunch times during the day ^^ Great work I really love how it came out and it has a japanese style that I love.

Thanks! I noticed that Neha's eyes look a little Japanese, but it wasn't intentional. Still...I kinda like it

^^ well it fits the clothes and the overall image very well

Thank you! ^_^ Japanese and Native Americans do have a lot in common in looks and some traditions, too

yes you're right, I have to agree.

Agreed!

I really like this! I love her eyes and hair. Great job!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like her...it took a while to get her done ^^;

You're very welcome! She turned out great!

*hugs*

Another great piece. I absolute love the look on her face...the hair is really pretty. *Snuggles*

Thanks! If I was at work for a little long, I would have done a bit more. I did color her, but, I decided to show this version instead

Ah, yes. My characters don't leave me alone either when I want to stop while they're still in the process of being drawn.
They yell out: "You missed a line!" or "My hand would look better this way" or "Won't this part of me be fun to shade?"... I have to close all art related programs and bury my tablet to silence them if I want to go to bed :)

Joking aside, Neha is very pretty.

I'm curious. Do you work all digitally, or is most of it done on paper?

LOL! I'm glad you can relate!

Thanks To answer your question, more often than not, I draw by hand, scan and then color digitally. When I'm at work, though, I usually draw digitally since...I'm at a computer most of the day

Very detailed shine for the hair!

Looks nice. :)

Thanks! Her hair was the most time consuming part of the piece!

looks very nice

Thank you very much!

Your welcome

YAY! Neha! I like the monotone pics, they're pretty darn cool :3

Hehe! I'm glad you like them! I'm actually enjoying drawing in this way. Thanks! *glomps*

*glomps back!* yer welcome hun :3

Very pretty honey mew :3

*giggles* Thanks!

Great work.

Oh, thank you!

Oh, she's beautiful! Great job!

Thanks!

Very cute and pretty! What color will her eyes be?

Thank you! Her eyes are actually green. I should post her color chart. ...maybe I will do it, after all... I have it colored flat, but I didn't post it for...some reason ^^; But, maybe I'll do it, anyway

So this is Neha? She looks very pretty! And I like her style of dress, it looks like casual Japanese. Really neat! Anyway, I'm off to watch the rest of my Anime-marathon, and work on a pic I'm doing for a close friend of mine. Laterz! ~snuggle glomp~

Thank you! *glomps* Yeah, Neha tends to wear very traditional looking clothes. Though she married outside her tribe, she's still very much in tune with her people's customs and heritage. Anyway, enjoy your marathon!

Yeah, it's strange how the traditional, relaxed-style of clothing is similar in appearance to a lot of cultures. I guess great minds really do think alike. =3

And I did enjoy my marathon, thank you! I don't know if you've ever seen it or not, but the marathon I was referring to was the box set of 'Please, Teacher!' otherwise originally known as 'Onegai Sensei' in Japan. Great series, very romantic, and has a good ending (which a lot of the 'girls Anime' doesn't have, for some reason. Some do, but a lot of the ones I've seen don't.)

Hmm...romantic AND a happy ending?? ....I may have to track it down

Mine only cost me about $20, which is a very good deal for having the entire 13 episode series. And if you ever see it, trust me, it does have a happy ending, you just have to wait for it. It looks bad towards the end, but it's not.

And does this mean I'm talking to another Anime fan? ;)

Dude, I have an entire anime playlist on my ipod! ...it also help that Chinatown has a never ending supply of mainstream and obscure anime at wholesale prices

Really? What are some of your favorites? And which Chinatown is it? The only one I've been to was in Toronto, Canada.

The one in New York City I love Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Kaleido Star, Ranma 1/2, Mahou Tsukai Tai...and many others

Don't believe I've seen Yoroiden Samurai Troopers or Mahou Tsukai Tai, but I have seen the rest. Cardcaptor Sakura hasn't been on in a long time, though. And if I wanted to put a complete list of Anime I've seen on here, I'd have to make a journal for it. But below is a list of some of my faves.

Cardcaptor Sakura
Outlaw Star
Cowboy Bee Bop
Kiba
Onegai Sensei (Please, Teacher!)
Rah-Xephon
Tenchi (all of them)
Venus Wars
Record of Lodoss War
Those Who Hunt Elves
Escaflowne (both the movie and the series)
Gundam Wing (and the movie, 'Endless Waltz')
Kaleido Star
Steel Angel Kurumi
Guyver, the Bio-Boosted Armor
Case Closed
Mythical Detective: Loki Ragnarok
Maburaho
Bleach
DNAngel
MAPS
Godannar

And waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too many more to mention here.

Oh, Honey, don't watch the Cardcaptor English DUB!!! It's appalling! You MUST watch it in Japanese to really appreciate it! It's like watching a completely different series! But, yeah, the English DUB is a crying shame and a far cry from the original Japanese!

Most of 'em are hon, but the English DUBS are the only way I can see Anime at the moment. Some of the ones I'm seeing are in original Nihongo, just SUBBED (Clannad and [/b]Princess Resurrection[/b]), but I have to read the words quickly, otherwise it detracts from the Anime (I miss some of the scene that way). Though I've gotten pretty good at reading fast, and still seeing the scene.

Well, not all. I mean, Ranma 1/2 was pretty true to the Japanese content as was Kaleido Star, but with CCS, they rewrote the entire script. It's not even recognizable as what it was But, I understand what you mean about having this as an only way of viewing it. If you ever need me to pick ya up something from Chinatown, let me know. They've got lots of stuffs

If I ever have enough money, I'll definitely take you up on that offer. Oh, and I have a few pics from an anime on my hard drive, but for the life of me I can't figure out where they're from. Would you mind helping me out? It looks vaguely familiar, but I can't place it.

Sure

Heh she's pretty.=) Sheesh the way you draw the hair never ceases to amaze me.
I love her Japanesy type look tho I see that wasn't intentional.XD

Yeah, it was accidentally. But, since a lot of folks like it, I'm just gonna own it and make it a part of her! *glomps* Thank you! *hugs*

Your welcome^^ *hugs back*

*flirts with Neha and gives her flowers*

Neha: Ah...thank you for the flowers

The flowers' beauty fails in comparison to your stunning essence. *kisses her hand*

Neha: ...ummm....

Dumi:

Eeeep! *whispers* This isn't over my dear *runs away Benny Hill style*

Dumi:

*runs into a starbucks to get away*

Oh please! Starbucks is NOT a safe house!

but I can get something to eat to keep up my strength.

Only for a moment

A moment is all I need

*shakes my head*

hehe cuteness!!!

*giggles* Thanks!
