Description The last of the first batch of the commissioned headshots, one called Gabriel, who is yes, the archangel :0 For one called Reve on another site. Possibly my favorite of the batch, because just trying a different head position made it so much more interesting. I think I'll continue to do that.

Not much to say about it otherwise.

I'm still open for bust commissions in watercolor, to help fund a new tablet, since mine died, and I don't have the money for a new one. More information: [link] !!

I love that face and the blood stains on the nose. The hair is really awesome too! I even like how you did the vibrant colours in the background too. ^^

LeahConnor In reply to katya-h [2007-04-20 05:49:08 +0000 UTC]

Hah, I suppose. Question is, how similar could you make it without offending the person who originally commissioned you?

...I just realized I'm running serious risk of overspending at some point because your art is absolutely worth it.

This is gorgeous, though I can swear that I've seen something like it before...was it Jahi? Or Saimain?... Good job anyway

I'm... not sure how to take that.. thanks...?

Kohalu In reply to katya-h [2006-04-19 05:36:33 +0000 UTC]

Hmm...If you flip Delhazan over, he would look similar, I think. ([link] ) Though, you have way more realism than Saimain.

Or am I thinking of this one picture of Jesus that I saw...? Whatever; it matters not.

omg the background is so colorful and nice (I'm saying that this way because there's... pink. HOT BRIGHT Pink XD I'm kinda allergic to that color normally but in the gradient it looks so nice <3 and haha those are actually the exact colors of Akhila's scarf XD)

With his hair and earring and general looks and mass of hair he reminds me auf Laudon I live the yellow light on his face, and the little stream of (dried ?) blood trickling from his nose over his chin. At first I barely noticed it, then I thought it was a scar ... but that might have been the case because the sun is blinding now and I can't see anything properly on my screen there's a kind of sadness in his face that I quite like it's definitely mostly the eyebrows, (and maybe the eyes are closed a bit too and the mouth-corners pulled a bit down?), it gives him a sad look... remorseful is probably the best word I can dig up for it as 'sad' alone just doesn't describe it that well xD

Hahah! In the original, the BG less of OMFGHOTPINK than a very bright red. Alizarin Crimson kinda has that tone to it o_O;

Haha yes, the poofy hair and the jewelry and darker skin do remind me of Laudon xD WHich I suppose it good, since I love Laudon, maybe thats why this picture came out so good o_O; Yes it's supposed to be blood, Gabe is a warrior and I wanted to give it a little more interest. Thanks so much for your in-depth feedback. It's much appreciated!

Meow! I am sorry I haven't commented in so long! But I finally got to some deviations and was taking a long time to look at yours, because, fuck, they are all so beautiful! I figured I should comment on this one first because I think it's my favorite. He's so powerful looking. His face is soft and intense at the same moment and it gives me those artist shiveries XD It's really very nice, that hair is to die for. I feel like I could pet him and it would make me feel pretty inside. :>

katya-h In reply to DeaDNeSS [2006-03-05 05:25:32 +0000 UTC]

It's perfectly fine, I can bet your message center is even crazier than mine is X) Sorry I haven't gotten to comment much either. I'm glad he looks strong and soft, that's definately what I was going for! I'm not sure you wanna pet him at the moment, though >.>;;; Thanks so much!

We should hang out and draw sometime, you know? I -finally- found colored ballpoints! WOOT! Not like I haven't been to 475982 stores looking for some to play with. x_X But yes. We should definately meet up again one day.

*gasp* Another beautiful picture. Is it too late for me to get one? im trying to get money to send you, but my husband tells me bills first. But i love the angle of this guys head in this one. Its very sexy. XD Great job kitteh!!

katya-h In reply to ShadowofRavens [2006-03-03 04:22:02 +0000 UTC]

It's certainly not too late, and I'll probably offer these portrait commissions even after I get a new tablet. Because, well, they're so much fun and I love making them, plus it's fantastic watercolor practice as well as practice getting different facial features down I'll probably be offering them for awhile... Don't worry, my dear Tyggy!

That's beautiful. There's just an awful lot said in that picture, by the expression, the colors, the lines and everything. That's a very, very good portrait.
