Comments
I do so love your artwork, having been a big CCG fan, and having seen the art in the various games I have played.
This picture, especially, is stunning. Would love to see a full length version as I think that well-armoured females are few and far between.
More, more, I say!
Gorgeous work, April, so vibrant and alive!
So this is the original piece on which you based your wonderful avatar ? Gorgeous painting indeed. I love your work, bring us more !
This is really fantastic. Although overall everything looks so good, I would have to say that, to me the hair is really the best part of this painting. Its movement just really makes it for me. Also its nice to see someone actually painting with paint and not pixels!
April, your work always amazes me!
