Description Created at Oekakicentral.com

I never thought leaves would be hard to detail. I did cry two nights while I tried to detail it, and yet I was so determined to finish it.

Now I'll go in a corner and cry again cuz it's so emotional to get involved like that.... how the heck you, artists, do that????

I can see a face in this painting. Is that intentional?

Even though this is a narrow canvas, I love the atmosphere you created using the colors and perspective!

The swirls you added to the vines and foliage give the whole thing a surreal look to it.


The art speaks for itself!

Omg this is amazing!

But it's so unfortunate that I can't zoom in on this one, it should fill my screen so I could enjoy it even more.

Anway this is great, make more of this!

Yeah, sorry about that one. I did it in oekaki, it's not a good idea to do high resolution on that since then it'll take me fooooorever to complete it.

However, I'll keep that in mind for next artworks.

I know it has been a while since you left this comment, but I was busy, but I wanted to say.. lol yeah, face is kinda hidden. Actually I didn't notice that myself at first until somebody pointed it out to me and that scared me. So I decided to keep it like that but to refine it to what you see now. Hehe.

jeez, I can't stop staring at this. it makes me feel good. I couldn't ask for better composition, shading, color balance, value balance.

DM7 In reply to sf17 [2009-03-29 14:02:37 +0000 UTC]

Aw I'm glad you like it! That was my goal by using composition, shading, color balance, and value balance together in order to keep you including others staring at it as long as it's humanly possible of me to do so.

So that's a good sign! Thank you!

Thank you! Whew I'm glad you think the leaves are good... I couldn't sleep last two nights because the leaves haunt my mind... I can't get rid of them... but by sound of it, it's worth my hard work. Thank you again!

Sweet work there, the stone structure is really cool, the leaf texture was worth all of the hard work.

Thank you! I also like the stone structure... it's my first time doing something complicated like that. *wipes her sweat off from her forehead*

Are you going to do more of this style art?

DM7 In reply to SiathLinux [2009-03-29 22:26:42 +0000 UTC]

Yup! Most likely!

Only thing I have to do is to master the art of patience and persistence.

SiathLinux In reply to DM7 [2009-03-29 22:36:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I need a lot more patience on my work.... I really think I submit most long before I should, just cause I'm tired of looking at it...

This is so amazing! I can't believe such a wonderful thing was made on Oekaki!

DM7 In reply to 02321 [2009-03-29 14:06:43 +0000 UTC]

Anything is possible. I like to work with various programs because they all force me to see art in several new and different ways, which I personally believe is starting to pay off. With that said, for sure, oekaki has taught me a lot about the leaves.

I'm glad you like it! Thanks.
