I must say your drwaings are magnificent but this one takes my breath away...The detail is amazing and it's so realistic...You captured the look I felt Nynaeve would have when Lan called her his Mashiara...I love it!

You are a marvellous artist! The only way I can think of you improving pictures like this is to have more values--darker! It will make the rest of the picture stand out more, and be more vivid!

IMHO, there is no way you could improve this picture. It is perfect the way it is. The light tones lend well to the mood of the subject. Absolutely stunning.

Crystal, your Mashiara is astounding! If you'd permit me, I would like to place the picture at the Russian site about WoT illustrations I'm making (of course, with your name, and the link to your site). I wrote an email to your address at bfwa.com, but you've never answered :(. If you ever read these comments, please contact me at bzbb@narod.ru.

Can I just add my WOW to all the other comments. This is an amazing picture. This is how I picture Nynaeve--we all know she has a soft spot... for Lan...

It is beyond good. Though if it were Nyneave i would sharpen the eyes none the less. I thought it was Egwaine. WOW

It should be darker in some spots, just to make everything stand out better and to make it more realistic. Besides, Nynaeve has dark, braided hair.

I love this picture SO much!!! Anyway...my older brother told me if he ever met a girl who ever actually looked like that he'd fall head-over-heals in love with her! He was completely serious too! So if you find a girl that actually looks like her and is around 21, then tell me! haha...Aaaanyway...Keep up the awesome work!
