OMG! *cries* isnt that the chick i saw on soul train a coupla times? *CRIES* and u got to talk to her!?! <green with envy> shes one of the hottest women in existence! nice work on the pic, i love the hair........... <sighs> shes got beautiful hair. *cough* im done now.

WOW!!!
Am I the only one getting water in my mouth
Very very nicely done!! There are just a couple of details wich got my eye...
Her left eye seems a bit flat (this could just be me!!!), but on top of her left wrist there is a litt "bump". There should definitly be an angle there, but this seems a bit to pointy

Hyelander:
Yup, that's the chick from Soul Train. If you recognized her, my job here is done. Talk to her? I had to go to Hollywood to shoot the reference material for this piece. If you go to the San Diego Comic con she'll be signing autographs with me at the BloodFire Studios booth and she'll also be at the Yolk/Top Cow booth. Then you can talk to her too.

Nikko:
Glad you like the piece. A few notes on your critiques; she has a flat face (she's Japaneese and Korean) and that bump on her left wrist is the bone in her wrist. I tried to smooth her wrist bone down a bit but it looked odd to me at this angel with out it. As for the flat eyes, the face is is the most important part of painting someone so there is not much I could do to solve that and still have it look like Aiko.

AAAAAaaaawwww.... this is hot shiet! I love it bro!

Beautiful work, I'm a little undecided on whether or not the glow needs to be around her, but I guess it must have looked better that way if you've left it in...

The glow is sort of a homage to Sorayama.
