OMG Awesome! I never know what I'm going to find when I come to your page, but it's always spectacular! I can't take my eyes off of this one. I love the apparent simplicity of the scene, that amazing still water, and the depth of the night. Whew. +fav

That definetly a pic that need to be boosted to fullsize as it's really hard to make out as a thumbnail. Despite the lack of color it is actually quite detailed. Must of been a real bit of a hassle to do the reflection since you'd have to draw it exactly the same way which you seem to have sucessfully done. The wavy effect looks really fantastic.

WTG.

Very nice. The colors on this are great-- I wish I had the mad skillz to work off of colored backgrounds like that.

One thing... I see light reflecting off the rippling water onto Haku's belly and head... but there's no other clues in the picture as to the strong light source that must be causing the reflections.... and according to the clarity of Haku's reflection there aren't enough ripples to make the neat ripply patterns either. :P (Lick)
