[OC Drawing #9: Short Hair Version]

I actually like this short haired version best. i also like the older angle. seems more relatable to me at 30+ she reminds me of my friend toni

the world

the world needs people to keep this type of art alive, this technical work, something to put the mind too, something not random, but purposeful and skilled.

it could be anything, but when i look at it i see nothing but a girl in a dress, somehow i made the connection without directly seeing or being told what it was, great work.

Yep! Enameling isn't really about to disappear, but it's not nearly as popular as it used to be during for instance the Art Nouveau period when Tiffany and Lalique made some really gorgeous works of enameled art (Lalique's jewelery was/is exquisite in design and craftmanship- goes to show what can be accomplished when you're a lucky bastard with a workshop of full of people to execute whatever designs you come up with. Yes, I'm jealous).
As to the latter part of your comment, that's good to know. It really isn't a terribly abstracted design, but you wouldn't believe how many people came up to me before I got the enamel on to complement me on my lovely tree.

the eye

you have an eye for the things people forget to notice, the corners of the action, the part that lays quiet

[Frozen Desert]

the sign

i didnt know what i was looking at at first, i saw jagged rocks and a prarie, but then reading your description i was taken back, the way ice would melt our from underneath the rocks leaving all sorts of shaped rocks was a cool idea, the north pole sign really shocked me.

i wasnt too fond of the lighting. but i do feel it was exactly how it should be for the idea

[Beels the Bee-Keeping Eels]
