I like the coloring on this.

looks awesome and sultry!

Very nice. Love the colors.

nothing like a nice glass of red wine heheh

... wait, there's wine?

Well done ;)

well that aint koolaid
hehe

No duh. I was referring to the sexiness. What wine again?

there is a wine glass in her hand . and what gose in a wine glass?? wine.. hehehe foxie logic

*still looking at Ms. Foratin* Wine... yeah... nice...

Love how you did the bikini.

Is it me or the right eye is... misplaced?

Blocked by the glasses is more like :3

its an -optical- illusion...get it :P

Its 'see-thru' hair style - like in some anime - meant to make it more expressive - not realistic

No, it seems that the eye is actually misplaced, as if the socket or the skull itself were severely deformed. If you flip the image horizontally to simulate a mirror-image effect, you'll see just how extreme that facial distortion really is.

I have never before seen this kind of distortion in your work, and I must admit, it really surprises me.




Mark

Or maybe it was portrayed, as earlier stated "expressive" instead of "realistic".

And you dont walk around with your head sideways do you? It's a beautiful piece, and you can reserve the right to your opinion, but shooting non-constructive criticism makes you looks like an ass.

Kacey knows very well that eyes are set within sockets of bone, and that sockets of bone are set within a skull. For that reason, to point out that an eye seems unconvincing or distorted is hardly non-constructive, because figure-work depends upon construction.

When an artist takes the time and effort to construct a figure and to post it here on FA, then I think that we, as viewers, should take the time and effort to look closely at the result; I think that we should present an honest account of what we see. And if there seems to be an unusual technical flaw in the picture, then I think that we should be honest about that, as well. Otherwise, without candid feedback, how can the artist know that anyone has bothered to pause, to look, and to think about her work?

I thought about what you said - but I couldn't see how I could make a mistake like that - and so I put the image into photoshop, lowered the opacity, and drew blue lines around the shape of the face as well as the eyes (i opened up the eyes in the blueline since they are half-lidded in the image) Link: http://pics.livejournal.com/ryokoki.....y/pic/0000bdte

I think that you are possibly being thrown off by the placement of the hair and maybe the glasses - but I don't see how her eye placement in her face is wrong...

Have you tried to flip the image horizontally? I think it would clarify that one socket is higher in relation to the muzzle than the other. What do you think?

As I've said, I have never seen this kind of placement in your work before, and for that reason, it really stands out. Something seems to be wrong....

Could the placement and angle of the muzzle be the problem...?

No idea if this was mentioned to you already, but I think the glasses are a bit of a problem. The frame on the left side of subject, combined with perspective is a bit shortened when applying the view of the blue lines. Human eye can't parse animalistic face structure that well and uses glasses as frame of reference. They however don't convey as strong an angle as is actually present.

The more I look at the face, the more I think that the glasses and the eye sockets are a problem: I simply can't reconcile the angles.

Yeah... looking at it again I think the bridge of the glasses is the issue - they aren't parallel with the line between the eyes - and they should be, as they should define the angle of the muzzle. And if the glasses are being used as the frame of reference, then they would make the eyes look wrong...

The glasses might be somewhat off-parallel; but if the right-hand eye socket were lowered to fit behind the lens, the face would then seem perfectly convincing... because the perspective of the sockets would be reinforced by the perspective of the glasses and of the muzzle.

A very simple technical solution. :)

Ohh absolutely lovely. I really love how you rendered her tail.

is it too late to go over to Foratin's page and wish him a good birthday celebration or
congrats on getting through another year of being older?

his birthday was a few days ago but I'm sure he wont mind belated birthday wishes =).

Your skill in detail amazes me! Top job! :)

That is hot. Amazingly detailed and autofaved XD

Great one here.

Very sexy and well done!

Looks really lovely ;3

Awww, she´s really beautiful!^^

Gorgeous color work. I love the purple highlights, detail work on the tail, and wine mid-spin. It sells her indulgence.

Great work, I was really surprised when I've seen it first time on his birthday party. He was -really- happy and excisted, like the rest of us who hadn't commisioned it.

Really great work!

Looks like theres a heart in the wine

in during awesome art post

It's difficult NOT to be seductive when lingerie and wine are involved!

very lovely

Most, most, most Beautiful. Love the fur texture

Very lovely pic! The tail detail and the bed are amazingly done!

Mmmm....wine

Oh my, you did a wonderful job with a genet's markings.

*drool*

It's fantastic work! You are a really good artist and I'm happy we did it for Foratin.

Almost like royalty... And totally sexy too.

Oooh, cute! ^_^

Very nice work. I like the coloring of her hair and the over feel of this.

I have love for genets :) Beautifully done.

The picture is really an eyecatcher ^.^, awesome work and one of the best birthday presents ever,

Thank you so much =) I'm so glad that you enjoy it, and I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

Nice, she looks quite tipsy :)

That is awesome.
Great pose and expression.
Fantastic coloring and detail.

Kinda looks like my fursona but female :p What species is she? Looks awesome :)

She is a genet =D

*hugs*
Wow hun, VERY nicely drawn, she is so pretty!

Cool. I dig chicks with glasses....anybody else?

Nice and sexy, but i don't like glasses on furry mouths

awwww cute

I'm still happy that I organized it x33
He said that he was close to tears afterwards :3

a beautiful character and so very alluring and wonderful.
great work on the coloring, i love her expression and the soft appearance you gave her despite that devious yet attracting gaze you gave her :D <3
*tanek*

The piece overall is very nice, but what caught my attention was how well you handled the folds of the linen on the bed! Ok, sometimes I'm an art nerd and I geek over little technical details but it was very nicely executed!

sensual and sexy

This looks absolutely wonderful. Very lovely pose.

Very beautifully done! That's quite a sly little grin she has
This is definitely a favourite!

Sweet an Sexy, i don't expect any less from you kacey. Very well done.

Dare I say she has that sexy and elegant look going simultaneously?

very nice ^.^

The expression and the glasses look so good together.

ahh your art never fails to impress me, gorgeous work hon *resumes quietly stalking*

reminds me of a furry off Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion

Beautifully done ^_^ I adore her expression .o.

Once again, really great work! The fur pattern is amazing all over, the subtle style on most of her body and the fluffier tail. What she's wearing, and her expression towards the viewer, are very nice as well :)

That's absolutely beautiful!

One day I must commission you, ^^ when will you be taking them again?
