Artist's Comments

Edit 05.10.08 You guys are wonderful. Thank you so much for the Daily Deviation of this piece. Some things about it are cringe-worthy to me, and I've worked on my masculine issues since then (I haven't drawn enough ladies), but I'm incredibly grateful all the same. the dA community is a very loving one, indeed.

This was chosen to be included in the Pepper Project.

Edit: Some changes made to suit the character more clearly prop wise. I had to cut some losses on the theme a little bit, but I think it may be for the better. It really is kind of difficult to make these changes without further complicating a theme or making it just confusing. Plus without making it seems like props were thrown in haphazardly. So, its okay if I get more comments like "wtf, huh, i dont think its them, she's weird looking etc etc". ^_^

As far as the facial preferences, its really something of habit. I'm studying more facial variants, really. I want to improve, but I also don't want to mold to the desire to make just another pretty face. With Wanda in particular. I think Kunkka designed her awesomely and it'd be disheartening to wonder if he snarled at an ugly mug. She seems more apt to wearing that attitude on her shoulder and I adore that. So, just let me have my anatomical adventures in a realistic possibility okay?

Thank you guys so much for your support and willingness to be honest.

I hope I do these characters justice. Even though I took them into my art world, they are still strangers to my heart. I do believe I was able to put a piece of myself into their world. I hope I do not let down these women, their many fans and of course their creators.

Green specks bright spiralling out in the sky
Catch my mind, turn my head, have to look, don't know why :doh:
Beautiful work as always. You use colors very well compositionally.

Nitpicking kind of critique: The blond one (Pepper?)'s face is quite large and slightly manish imho.
I'm loving the swingers age feel of this.

Either I don't know how to comment anymore or I've already said what I thought of this piece before during the previews on messenger :P Either way you know my thoughts. Excellent job :nod:

looks like a MAN haha
maybe its becuz of the nose and eyebrows
Lovely piece, love the coloring; but I cant see Pepper and Wanda.. The blond one looks a bit male-ish (i think its the angular facial features). and whenever i think of Pepper, i think of her weird hat or headphones.
But like i said its a beautiful artwork nonetheless :)

Why in the world wouldn't we want to solve world hunger, cure all diseases, and promote world peace?

Oh wait, that's right.
How would we make money?
Great reimagining, wonderful atmosphere.
