One of the things about Relm is that she always struck me as someone who should be older. Her actions and the way she talks make me think that. This picture is supposed to be her in her early teens. I like the picture, but it annoys me in the way that she turned out looking like that girl who plays Lizzie McGuire (whom I DON'T like). Grrrr.... Maybe it's her expression or something?

Truly awsome work Kame! That's somthing else to be sure.

For crit, I'd say the nose and brow highlights are too white. Make her look like porcelain. The hair is incredible work though. Just loving that. Great job all 'round. thumbup.gif

Great Job, Kame! *Sticks Drawing with a Star*
Hmmm...the mouth is what looks weird to me. No offense, but it reminds me of characature with the mouth that wide. Maybe the cheeks, too. That is truly some good work, though.

You know, that looks a lot like one of my supervisors at work. She gets mad at people on the phone, kinda like this ---> phone.gif ... but perhaps without the happy face.

Anyway like I said in chat it's a very nice drawing. You have a lot of good talent along with an extensive knowledge in the field of art. I understand the main concepts... in a college art class I had to write a 5 page essay about one drawing. There's a lot more involved than most people would probably initially think. Either that or it was just me. laugh.gif Anyway I appreciate this fine work of art. Well done.

I don't know if I should comment on this but what the heck...

On one side, this is a great piece of work etc. etc., but on the other, your style just doesn't suit my taste unsure.gif It's too realistic for what I'd like to see as FF art.

Its a good drawing, but i really hate relm even more now... it reminds me of the arch-heretic Olsen twits...twins.

Well, I think its pretty good. Your good with realism. The only prob I have with the pic is that Relm doesn't look like a teenager to me. What age were you going for in the pic? She looks more like a girl in her twenties.

I don't think she looks that much like Hillary Duff. Maybe the hair.

*Agrees with SilverMaduin*

Though it is a TREMENDOUSLY great drawing, I like FF art to be kind of "cartoonish" in a way. I think if you drew her with pimples she might resemble a teenager a bit more smile.gif .

Drawn very nicely. I like it's realism. And her hair is awesome. The only critisicm I have is her lips, and I think they're kinda big. Oh well... what do I know about fine art, eh?

It's very good, you should be proud of your talent. thumbup.gif

Quite nice. However, it looks a bit old for a "teenager". I don't think it looks at all like any celebrity I know.

It looks amazing. My only critisizm is that she does look a bit too old - in the game she is almost a teenager anyway.

She doesn't really look like Lizzy McGuire that much, but she does look real. That's a great effect, wish I could draw like that.
