Nominated Works:

"Autumn Vows" by IceFeather

I am delighted with how "luminous" the flowers in her symbol turned out. I delibertly wanted to keep the leaves in the background so that her hair and flowers could stand out. Shocks of color aganist a dismal/dying background (white and brown)

"Newborn Emerald" by IceFeather

This is probably my all time favorite custom. Wonderful body paint, wonderful symbols, great hair, huge eyes....She still stands out in my mind as one of my most successfull and perfect works to date.

"Sakura" by IceFeather

Sakura was definatly one of the special ones. Her symbols are extremly small and detailed, her body paint so smooth, and her hair...it all came togther so perfectly. I'm still astonished I managed to finish her.

"Baby Angel" by IceFeather

Her body paint was so smooth and flawless. Really lovely hair, and her symbols came out beautifully as well. Very pleasing to the eye and very convincing on display. She's shown here scanned, so it really shows how well her technical merits hold up under the unforgiving light of a scanner bed.

"Baby Twilight's Curtain" by IceFeather

All the stars and dots are raised a short way off her body, giving a wonderfully "bold" look. I really can't describe it. I'm also proud that she's so durable as well.

Other Works:

Solace

Please ignore the bizarre shadow on her leg there...Well, this is Solace. I love white-on-white ponies, and since I had some beautiful blue tinsel, I thought she would be a gorgeous custom to do. Her symbol was a real success for me- I am pleased with how the shading came out to show deapth and reflection, but yet maintaining a somewhat surreal look as well. She came togther quite nicely, I think.

Newborn UK Milky Way

Soft, pink and very cute. I really enjoyed this custom. Her star pattern was nice and random, big eyes repainted nicely, and exceptionally beautiful body paint. Again, shown here on a scanner flatbed at actual size, so you can see all her detail (and lack of glaring technical flaws)

Newborn Heart Throb

I was extremly pleased with this one. I just love all her hair- definatly been overmaned and tailed, but I think it suits. Her paint went on beautifully, and I love her large, dark eye repaint. She has metallic winged hearts, and I'm pleased with how evenly the hearts came out with size and shape (I don't use any stencils)

Junjoukaren

This is one of my most recent girls...Ju Ju. Her name means "Pure of Heart" She is orginal body, which is unusual for me, but with symbols this detailed it did help. Unfortunatly she doesn't lie very well on a scanner flatbed, so these scans really do her a disservice. I've also had to pull her hair unnaturally so that you can see her symbols- which are different on the other side. She is really quite beautiful in person. I'm extremly happy with her.

Baby Princess Taffeta

I just loved this custom. Her symbols are smaller then a US dime, and yet still have the delicate pie-crust crimping around them. Tons of tinsel, soft hair and a truly lovely coat of blue body paint. Again, she's laying exposed on my scanner flatbed so you can see everything at its worst.
