♣♥♦♠ realistic-ish portrait, other things

Really digging the jewelry designs. Also, really interesting choice of material. Do you have any worries about it turning green after tarnishing and whatnot, or have you taken steps to prevent that already?

GREEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!

Yeah, I thought they were leaves at first.

Hmmm I thought they feathers, but that might be do to the bird near them.

○ Ged: I take it your favorite color is green? XD
○ Hamachi: For my copper stuff, I didn't do anything to keep it from tarnishing, since I like the worn look over the polished one. As for the brass, it holds up much better, so it won't turn green.
○ Jorgie: Thank you!
○ Outcast: Yeah, context is a little important. I tried more realistic-looking feathers (so they wouldn't look like leaves), but the technique wore down and weakened the metal to the point where they weren't sturdy anymore.

Portrait of a friend of mine. Two hours. Ended early because I didn't want to handle hair or knit texture.

Then a stab at one of Matt's characters, but I gave up, since I didn't like the direction any of them were going. I couldn't decide on a facial structure, complexion, or coloring style.

Oh god they are beautiful ;_____;

Seefy, you're so good at semi realism. I really like how you bring attention to the eyes on the first one.

You already know I love these. When I write Naomi's Story, I stare at the top right face for awhile to get a better idea of how my own protagonist looks.
