[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Wow, the word is real though, thank you.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude o_o You keep getting better and better. That's amazing, and all that work you did--however grueling--completely paid off in my opinion o_o

*awed*

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

Gorgeous -- her eyes are so lively and expressive! And the textures of her face and hair are very vivid. I love it!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

Now I wish I could win the lottery to buy that piece! That is absolutely beautiful!

I keep looking at the skull and thinking it would make a perfect keychain XD;

This is on my list of top favorites from you. I've had a hard time connecting emotionally with your past fairytale ones (dunno why; the technical parts of them were spectacular but I couldn't get a "feel" for them like with many of your animal/pastel ones).

But this, this really draws me in and tugs at my heart. I keep staring at the skull and her eyes; I love it. Her eyes are amazing...you need to do moar eyez!!

This is so one of my favourites (in case you want to know). Up there with Karijiana and Vavale's portraits.
I love what you have done with her eyes, especially noticeable in the good-lighting-with-flash. Plus the light from the lantern is done so well. I love that the lantern is a skull, too, it tickles the macabre nerve.
What is the story behind Vasilissa the Brave?

Amazing. She's stunning. I find myself oddly drawn to her.

*stares in awe* :D

I have no words for how awesome this is or how much i love it. I think.. it's in my top 3-5 pieces of yours, for sure.. mmm. :)

It's very different on the monitor at my friends' house, though. much darker. i wonder which is more accurate. Mine, i suspect, there's much more subtlety there.

Wow.

[faerysprl.livejournal.com]

This piece is... a lot. It's yummy in that tummy stiring, soul stiring type of way. I feel connected when i look into her eyes which is creepy and cool.

I've put this entry into my favorites.. cause when i get my tax return next year i want to buys it, very much. I'll post again when I get it and if it hasn't been swooped up by then. I'm hoping late jan. early feb.

I'm curious would you take payment in installments? I know that since i'm in the us that makes it all logistically a huge pain in the rear but i thought i'd ask anyway. I could pay 100 a month, at least for the first two months, i might be able to pay more after that... not sure yet. :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

*nods* Yeah, I would accept payment in installments if that's the minimum amount of you were looking to put down each month. If you want to go ahead, email me at ophelias.diary@gmail.com, which is also my Paypal address. :)
