I love the brush stroke looking textures. It's loose, but very nice looking.

I love your colour choicessss <3 I hope to see more like this from you.

I find that when I start worrying too much about my style, it gets worse and goes in the opposite direction of where I want it to go. :P Finicky thing. I think your style will evolve on its own, for the better.

Beautiful hair and corset! wow :D

Yeah, I like your normal style better. This is too much like http://egypt.urnash.com/ for comfort.

Okay, can I just say that while I understand having a preference for a certain type of work over another, (and that is totally valid and not my beef) I am super uncomfortable with the insinuation that, because there is another person in the fandom who does stuff in this vein, no one else can go there.

No, I just don't like her stuff ^-^

I was gonna say this looked similar to her stuff too, at least color and background-splash-wise, if not the whip and corset and high heels etc. In case you weren't like, already aware or whatever. ^^ I actually like her experimental color choices... experimentation is pretty awesome by my books, and the comparison was mostly to say YEAH you might find her stuff inspiring or whatever, haha.

Personally I hate it when people hop out and say THIS REMINDS ME OF SOMEONE ELSE'S STUFF because it makes what you just drew feel kind of cheap and yeah, there's a lot of pressure to be a unique snowflake w/r/t style but fuck that shit, everything you draw is going to look a LITTLE like someone else's work to whoever, and if we spent all our time in a little bubble of uniqueness we'd never get anywhere.

Haha, well, I was fifteen in Yerf's hayday, so I would be hard pressed to pretend I didn't like dig all her work. I think ultimately that we have a lot of the same influences (art nouveau being one example of a movement we both emulate to differing extents) so when I go off on a tangent and kind of decide to smack up flat colors and sharp silhouettes that's what comes out.

It's not necessarily "Oh, my art shouldn't remind you of anyone but me!" necessarily. I think my aggravation with the subject just stems from the fandom's OBSESSION with STYLE THEFT as if nothing similar is ever honest. It's like, I'm sorry people, but there are more things on heaven and earth than thin-lined airbrush shaded sexy dog women.

I am glad to be inspirational! Makes me feel like I'm actually doing something worthwhile to know that someone younger than me, whose stuff makes me happy to look at, makes me pretty happy. Steal all you like, it's pretty clear that you've got influences and destinations I don't have.

"wow, you have an original style" really just means "wow, you're ripping off some weird people I've never seen before", in my experience. Rip off one person and you're either a "fan" or a "style thief" or a "clone", depending on whether or not your source is a commercial success or not; rip off a dozen people from disparate schools and you're "original".

!! Thank you so much for, like, making the point I was making only better <3

I am super happy that you are digging on what I've got to offer. I would love to enjoy this fuck yeah moment with you because your art is capital A awesome. High five!

*highfive* Keep doing the awesome thing you do!

That reminds me.

Hell, Steamboat Willie, Disney's first synchronized sound cartoon, was actually a reference to "Steamboat Bill Jr", a popular film at the time!

Wow, comment fail.

Mostly what I see in this piece that might remind you of my work is the lack of outlines, and some desaturated colors. Which, honestly… most of that is just me ripping off Mary Blair like any good little girl John K trained, mixed with having something about Mattise's late-in-life cut paper work just hang there in my head since the first time I saw it.

There's a lot of things I do that Angrboda isn't - no super-simplified shapes, no casual cartoony distortion of the figure to create motion, no Jack Kirby noodling along the contours of the body, no color trails…

I am glad to be distinctive and memorable, but honestly I feel like it's kind of an indictment of the state of this fandom that "no outlines and a thoughtful palette" is "uncomfortably" like me. I'd love to see more people poking around the weird cartoony-noveau-golden book place I hang out in; it's a hell of a lot of fun, and sometimes I feel like (to quote M.C. Escher) "I'm walking around here all by myself".

Narrow profile of the character, accessories and cool color contrast along with squiggles.

Mary Blair was far more blocky in her presentation of figures.

Don't be so pedantic about similarities.

I love the colors. Nicely painted!

I like the style here, especially the contrasting colors between the character and background. Besides the cool motion you have going in the background, I like how loose everything is from the character to her flowing hair. There's just a lot of energy to this piece.

Nice piece, I like the color palette.

Personally I don't really care about any attitude toward "speedpainting" or not as a term. Then being french speaking, I guess the "impact" of the term isn't as felt for me..

Thinking about it, I think what makes the palette looks nice is the use of "cold/warm" contrast in color. If anything, kudos again... and thanks for (even if unwittingly) a picture that managed to make me recall some of my basic notions from my concept art classes. I'd probably'd need to give them more proper heed once in a while.

Hey that's really awesome :)

Huh, it's certainly an interesting style, rather stylised.

ooooh, nice colors. sherberty and summery.

You are ridiculously talented, and I dig this a lot.

hehe, someones got a whip~ >w<

nice work though~

This is lovely!

wow, missed this one first time around! excellent, reminds me of somthing that would look great in a comic book...kinda like that weird sc-fi thingy that was in the conbook last year by that one "post-furry", I forget her name!

The colors in this are amazing!
