Yay!

It looks so, so cool. I really like the intense detail and shading. We really get a sense of depth and the feel of its skin as well. It's angle and position is quite interesting too. :D

Just... wow.

Thank you!:D I'm glad as well to see your not disappointed, it would have been an awful shame to me if you were.:( It was difficult to have everything look natural without a background to balance things out. So I had to do a lot to make sure the entire foot could carry the weight of the entire piece, and hopefully not seem boring.

And thank you again for the fave.:hug:

Thank you!:dance:

The biggest thing I had to worry about was giving that sense of depth. Each toe had to fade as it got farther away, but I had never done that before so it was difficult at first. But I figured it out as you can see.;)

There's a bit of a story too for the way the foot is positioned. Apart from the photo looking that way, I wanted to change it slightly and have it almost look like it was reaching for something (it looked kinda limp in the photo).

And thank you for your comment. It means a great deal.

Thank you!:D I specialize in detail, plus I like to do my best in every work. So this is going to be my next standard for all my work hereafter (although I don't expect to get as detailed in future projects, it's exhausting doing this art, but also very rewarding).

I look forward to hearing what you have to say.^^ And I greatly appreciate it, more so since you are a busy person.:nod: So where you off to this time?

And thank you for the fave.:hug:

Oh, I doubt I could have been disappointed in your drawing ;) And you really did a great job on this! And how's your hand? did it hurt much?
You're very welcome^^
