Artist's Comments

Few have seen her rise from the waters of the enchanted pong, blowing on her bamboo flute and calling out to souls that are out at twilight. They glow an eerie yellow glow and often mistake them for fireflies, thus giving her the name Firefly Enchantress...

I spent more time on this than I really wanted. I did the wings FIVE times. And I'm still not happy with it... Anyway, consider this my 2,000 pageviews kiriban. :D Thanks guys!

I actually went more chinese on her outfit than japanese, just for change ^^ I also wanted to become less dependent on the lineart. After all, there are no real lines in real life.

really? I'm actually not that happy with how the wings came out, but at least you like it ^^

So i'm guessing you play the flute? I tried it once, but failed miserably. I switched to viola.

Yea I love playing the flute. I have been playing for about 6 years. How long have u played the viola? It's kinda funny cuz I tried the viola and didn't like it. Then I switched to the flute.

The wings are beautiful, dattebayo. Although, one things bugs me a little about the picture. If you still feel like tweaking it, do you think you could perhaps brighten up the fireflies around her a bit? Just a little more shine would make them look more...firefly-y. No, I don't think that's a word. Other than that the picture looks great. You are progressing very rapidly. It's a little scary, actually. :P

:XD: I'm glad i'm scarily progressing. It's weird, i also thought that I should brighten up the fireflies to make them more firefly-ish. (better?) But I thought that would draw attention away from the woman, and that's what i wanted most of the attention...since she more detailed than it looks from far away.

Thanks for the compliment! it's really appreciated! :glomp:

Yeah, I know what you mean. But here's a secret: If you brighten the fireflies in the foreground, it'll actually make the viewer want to peer through them to see the enchantress in the background. The only way attention would be drawn from her would be if there were a more imposing character in the same picture, or if you completely washed her out with too much light from the fireflies. So just make em glow a bit more, but not shine, k? That's what I mean.

No problemo. That's what I'm here for. :D
