@ AwkwardFox - And I do love that avatar- as well as that movie. ^^

@ ~ThisIsTheFuture~ - Oooh, I see what you mean now. I suppose the sky gradient goes along with the perspective of distance of objects. I didn't think of that. And fff, thankyou. But I am quite happy enough with all these people that are kind enough to comment and/or critique <3

Featured!!!!
That is so cool!

Wow, interesting Good colours. Exercise more

[Parachutes]

Both the poetry and the artwork are great.

The pose looks as if it would have been difficult to draw, but you did it well.
The toning of the sand is wonderful, as well as the footprints and the visible grains of sand here and there.

Wow what!? I got a feature *weeps of joy* Can't believe I got featured, along with all these other amazing art and artists that have been featured.

@Greenee - yeah, I will exercise colored/backgrounds more. They are one of my many weaknesses. ^^'

@Silver Sparrow - Thank you very much- the pose was a little difficult (since I usually do not draw poses), but somehow I managed. I am very happy with the hands and the feet, most of all. Somehow I drew them nicely without refference.
