so here is the original i promised! ^_________^ i've always admired a ballerina's light and supple physique... <33333333 of course this wouldn't be possible without doing my homework (ie. research on human anatomy to make sure the proportions and angles are correct) ... XD
bg: Dvorak's Symph. No. 9 in E min followed by Schubert.


this doujin is dedicated to everyone who lent their support and consolation when i lost my original account... osewa ni narimashita.. (thank you for helping me out) . T_T

    "Fly Away With Me" that's the four words that come to me when I look at this piece of art. That's the feeling you elicit from me when I see her. She will take me away to where she is from a land of piece and kindness... wow wish I really got to go there, but for now my imagination will do, thank you so much Chisaikame chan *bows*

    To the analysis, we're back to shading, but at the same time you've taken thins up a notch again, choosing some extremely challenging elements, putting them all together for display and you pulled it off in Chisaikame fashion... (OMG... I feel like Simon Now... is that a bad thing ^_^'... little nervous that you compared me with him especially with his reputation XP)

    So what are the elements you put together?

    1. You chose a very petite girl which makes proportions difficult, but to top that off you have a ballerina gown on her so more of her body is shown and not concealed by clothing which would make it easier to draw.
    2. You choose to have her sitdown in that position with here hands on her knees. You rarely see someone sit down like that so the insight to see and feel what this looks like and put it to paper is outstanding
    3. Finally the wings and the ring of flowers on her head. You can draw these in your sleep and make them as real as any other. And that's the biggest danger if you give them too much life they detach from the core which is your ballerina. However, thanks to your gift of shading you use the transitional shading from her pine to the root of the wings that give you the feeling that the two are indeed one. As for the flowers they aren't usually seen on a ballerina (least not by me <--- not a ballerina expert ^_^') but the feeling works really well for me.

    So perfect picture right, nope always have a little constructive criticism to help you grow even more (hehe this is the one thing that I do admire about Simon and don't mind being associated with ^_^) Your strength is your shadowing but because of the level of difficulty of the components of this piece it would challenge even you ability.

    The two areas that I found could have been improved where her right ankle, there is some shading there that makes it look like she has a sock or something, I checked the left ankle and know she isn't wearing something like that. The other piece is the shadow on the ground. Just such a complicated position and to imagine what the shadow looks like unless you were there in person you could not draw it, so your version is good, but still something doesn't feel right. Pretty much from where the knees would be and up.

    Yay finally got to sit down and walkthrough a piece, haven't done that in a while with the busy schedule but as always so much fun. What's left well could you tell me what etoile means cause don't know >.<... and ehhh... secondly your picture had one big distracting point for me... I spent some time zooming into the top left corner and trying to figure out what was "hidden" in the shadow. But alas could not figure what those words were XD

    My....! amazing, hehe ^^
    She's really pretty :D I have to try really hard if I want to acomplish something like this one day.... perfect shading, proportions, idea... truly outstanding. I can see you took the time to detail the flowers and wings, they came out so great... *sigh*
    Wonderful work!

    You progress so fast Chisia-sama! :D I really love your original work. :) The anatomy was extremely done well. I like a lot of things about your character like her care-free expression, her entire outfit, and all of her accessories. Once again, I really admire your shading techniques. Overall, it was a real treat to see an original work done by you, Chisia-sama. It's truly inspiring to see an artist that trains a lot with illustrating other artist's works then later have a wonderful original work of their own. Lovely job Chisia-sama. I am always looking forward to your future works. :)

    Waa! Ang galing! Patay na... Talo na ako... T_T

    Eheh, guess i do have to comment ^_^.

    Well, i like the simpleness of this drawing (plus i don't really like fanarts, so originals are always better :) ). The drawing style (especially the face) reminds me somehow of the guy you draws Hajime No Ippo, but you've got nicer lines and shading though !
    I believe this one could use a bit of cleaning up, but it's really original and well done. Really good work on the hair and flower crown, as well as the wings.

    Just one thing : etoile takes an accent on the 'e' (though i can't write it here, cause MT doesn't like french :) )

    Thumbs up ;)

    Gorgeous as usualy - I thought I had already commented on this art, but it doesn't seem I have - hehe oh wells I'll comment now then hey X-P

    Your original concept is lovely! I wish I could come up with something like that :D She looks so sweet, giving us the look, 'Come on, you have to vote for me' X-P Great shading as always, especially her wings :) Also very interesting pose, that would have been very hard for me to draw, and it's nice to see it on paper - as someone else mentioned before :)

  16. MapleRose Retired Moderator May 17, 2006

    ooh, she's pretty :) love her soft smile, and your cross-hatching shading style :)

  17. miyano May 21, 2006
