One of my very latest fantasy realism pieces.. and the one that has caused me the most grief. You see, the pose for this was borrowed from a stock photo (which i had permission to use for pose reference) and then modeled after a family member (who is 3 1/2 and blonde.. which is why she has such a pudgy face) anyways, to make a long story short, I posted it on DA, got deviation of the day, and the stock owner asked me to remove it from DA because she didn't like the fact that i was using her pose and got recognized for my work, but she didnt get any faves for the blurry pixelated original pose stock photo... it was not fun times. I willingly removed it from DA to avoid a hassle with her, and agreed to only show it elsewhere than DA because that is the only place she frequents. This piece has been stolen several times by different art thieves, and im very near to watermarking it, so please, respect my work and don't steal it. It really irritates me... this took me alot of hours of work spread over nearly two weeks to finish.

Awww... That's too bad. Since this is reallya great piece of art. It is very soft and very beautiful. It's so soothing to look at.
I dare say this is one of the finest pieces of work i've seen here in Sheezy. Excellent. job.

This is a great job! I congratulate you! Who was the person on DA? I'm curious of what the stock photo looked like..

This is really great. I thought it looked like your daughter's face from other art based on her. It's lovely. As far as the photo ref lady...your art improves on her photo a thousand times over. I know it's less of a hassle to just bow to her jealousy, but if you had written permission to use it from her that you could show, legally you could just tell her to stuff it and there's nothing she could do. Written permisson is a very powerful thing. Anyway, like I said, lovely lovely work.
