That is by far your best piece yet! Grats! The only thing I am not sure of is the thing on her cheek. Is that a lock of hair...or a scar...?
Squirrel, congrats on a job well done! Given how much you put into getting this done, you should dance yourself silly because the effort really paid off! 
I get a very strong feeling of the ancient Japanese paintings/portraits style when I look at this.
Excellent. The colors blend magnificently.
That'd be a scar <^-^> I should have mentioned >< this is the Novel version of the character - the CoX version has spots and lighter skin; the novel version has scars on her back and one on her face. >.>;; I didn't explain that cause I was too excited I guess <~_~>
Glad you like it <^-^> <bounces up and down on Katfood's head> <^,^>
<'x'> My temporarily ENORMOUS ego requires this see the front page one more time <,<; (then I'll leave you all alone about it <'x'> I promise!)
Nice job squirrely, It has a very nice solid amine feel to it . I really like it alot.
Yup, I'd agree, it really did turn out quite nice!...
if you can get past her tinny itsy-bitsy eyes 
It looks good! 
Well on your way, oh Squirrely one. Keep it up!
This came out very good man!!
I would be proud of that too!
Forgot to mention you inspire me to try and draw things that aren't hopelessly chaotic doodles in the margins of my school books.
Because it's true, really.
*blush* <~_~>; Hehe, thanks all <^,^>
(Lol Graver <,<; Thanks for the critique earlier btw <^,~> it helped)
<^.^>;; I'm just... WEE!!
And Yuri, its well worth trying I can tell ya >_< I've grown alot in the last couple months; I've been drawing since I was 16 (well, 5 when I started; but I didn't get remotely serious till 16)
<. .> it took me *that* long to get to this >_< I've still got a ways to go but <~_~> yes, today I am proud hehe <^-^>;
<,< I'll shuddup for a bit now <'x'>; Just... excitiment <,<
Now if I can just get back to my writing too >.<;; /sigh; we shall see on that front <,<;
Nice work. Keep it up.
Joins the bandwagon...
great job bud!
First - Pardon me while I freak out and dance around like in a rabid frenzy of excitement.
Thank you for your understanding.
Now then. I finally finished the project I've been working on for the last 4 or 5 days; working probably 4-8 hours each day... it was ALOT of work, but I am *very* proud of this ><; That doesn't mean don't critique though <,< By all means, I wanna know what you think! This is my current best though <^_^> so Uhm... the squirrel is beaming atm <,<
Yumii - Full Color
<^_^>!!! <passes out from lack of sleep> <X_X>
Oh, and I'd like to thank this entire forum - without everyone's support, critiques, and teaching, I'd never have tried color - let alone done anything like this. You all saw how I was when I came here... needless to say I think there's just a bit of improvement. And alot of its thanks to all of you >.< So; the squirrel thanks you all!
