Artist's Comments

(THIS!!!) My art teacher at school once mentioned about 'dotting' pictures to me. I returned home that day, trying to dot out one. (It wasn't this one. It was a simple pic of Kogenai from Flame of Recca and it was sold to a man at an art carnival for $15...Tell you the truth, I wouldn't buy it for that amount :P) I kind of find this drawing style interesting and fun to do, so I tried a more challenging pic (and it's this one).

This was actually a pic from one of Weiss Kruez's CD covers. I found it ideal for dotting, so I set off to work with a SAKURA MICRON 0.05 pen. Thinking back about it, it was tiring, sitting there dotting for 8 hours, over a period of 2 days....But you'll not feel the pain until you've stopped to look at the time.

Medium: MICRON 0.05 pen (done on 26-05-2002)

Oh my goodness! You're amazing! You got all the values right too for every little detail, like the gloves, aya's shirt, and the hair. O_O That pain was worth it I would say!

huh.... I don't think I've seen this style of... okay, so it's not painting, but I think that's how it originated.... dotting done in pen... just paints... oh wait... I think I mentioned that already!!!!
You've done an excellent job of it! I believe there's also an art form of "dotting" on bone or something semi-nonsquishy ((yeah.... ran out of somewhat technical sounding words!)), but with a needle and ink.
The detailing is awesome!!! :D

Oh... wow... and you stippled that... I'm, kind of amazed right now because that is really damn good 0-0. I clicked on the thumbnail, "oh, this looks pretty" I zoom in... and I went "O-O stippled!?"

Good job <3
