Artist's Comments

Illustration assignment for Advanced Illustration Seminar with Linda Frichtel. Our prompt was "waterfall" - so I drew a girl whose hair mimicked water with koi fish swimming through it. Go me.

Very thoughtful idea! Splendid job on her eyes. I feel like I might drown in them, as well as her volumnous hair!

I love it! And I know it's a really derpy thing to comment on but I'm quite infatuated with her nose. It's just so adorable. Her right (my left) eye looks a little bit bigger than her other for reasons I am unsure of, but it might just've been a stylistic choice, which is fine of course! I'm just not seeing enough of a change in uh... words... perspective, I guess?, that it would warrant the change. BUT MAN THAT IS SUCH A NITPICK WHO EVEN CARES. BLAH BLAH

IT'S VERY PRETTY I love your take on the idea! Man I can't wait to get into more srs bsns classes. Illustration ;;;;; *grabby hands* waaaant~

Reminded me of the tree nymph creature person thing on Fantasia2000 x3

I adore the koi and the colours are so vibrant. D=

I don't really mind the whole.. one eye bigger than the other and such. o.O It's not that huge of a deal, especially considering that.. well.. there are some people out there with eyes that aren't proportionate.

>.> Not so much with the two left hand thing. XD

<3 you though. Stunning picture.

I love the swarm of fish traveling through her hair, very pretty. Her eyes also really drew me in.

Her facial features are very attractive. This is a real piece that I admire. It's charming too.

Kinda has this whole 'water spirit' feel to it.
