Thank you, Dalton, I'm glad you think so highly of it! You're right, I probably should have done something with that hand, since it wouldn't be out of character for her to be holding something incredibly sharp and dangerous
. I'll definitely put some weapons in future pictures of these characters! And thanks again on the hair --hair can be very tricky to get to look adequately fantasy/anime without looking very inorganic.And thank-you double, too, Duchess, as double compliments you gave
. I'm sorry I haven't gotten more work on your commission, but it's definitely not something I'm ignoring --I simply haven't had a good chance to work on it so far and have it come out like I want it to. I'll try to get some sketching for a final version that I think looks good soon!And Einhander...
I don't see art as a competative realm. I'm glad you like it, but if I start vomiting up statues of David, it'd take nothing away from what you're capable of doing, either We just have to keep practicing, both of us!And Erik von Nein, ah... well, for about the last fifteen years, with a gap in there from about 6th grade to 8th grade. In case the obvious question follows, I'm sixteen, so yes, drawing most of my life
. As for Tasoth, yes. It is a strong jawline for a lady. That's because Verdigris suffers a very high amount of masculinity. Once I draw... well... any of the other females from my story, you'll see a lot hotter, less manly, girls
. As for the speed in which my pictures are done... uuuur.... the featured one, I don't know. I did the sketch at a different time than the inking and coloring, and there had been quite a gap in there. The second one though took me about an hour, maybe an hour and a half, because if you were to see it in real life, you'd notice that the coloring's actually much less careful and the inking's frankly shite (by my standards -- it's not smooth.) Plus it's a very basic image. As for the sketches, uhm... those I don't really know since those were done in between having to pay attention. The one of bitchy bitchy Umber, though, couldn't have taken me more than a couple of minutes (Umber's really easy to draw anyway.) My art's not even close to consistant on necessary time involved . I appreciate the compliment, observer! All it cost me was my sanity, ee-hee! ... and my soul
. And dear, dear Kuja, you have no idea.
Edge is my favorite character from this storyline thing. I do want to draw all the Councilors (there's ten), but I have a feeling even before that's done, we'll see plenty more Edge.
. His main eyes are made of cat's eye beads, so there's a nice strip of reflection depending on how you look at him, so his blank white eyes kind of follow you 
. His smaller, black eyes are polished hematite shards, more of which ended up in the skin of my fingers than the clay, but it was definitely worth it
