  • Title: The Swordswoman
  • Artist: Tomore
  • Description: Everything about her, from the tumbling charcoal curls down her back to the white leathers and cloth of the dress uniform, was clean---except her soul. The blade that rested in its sheath over her shoulder had drank of the blood of her enemies yesterday: those who would kill and enslave her and hers. Today was for forgiveness, both for herself for killing them, and for them, for doing what they felt they had to do. The swordswoman closed her eyes, clasped her hands before her chest, and prayed.

  • Yes, well, taste ever differs. ^^ In giving and receiving criticism, one should always try to bring honor and dignity to oneself, one's art, and one's peers. The beauty of the visual arts, even as pertains simply to an avatar contest, is that it depends on your taste and your viewpoint. I would be a fool not to listen to criticism, and a bigger one to be rude about it.

  • While I may or may not agree with this placing, I really appreciate your willingness to accept critique while sticking to your guns. Congrats.

  • (character limits, amirite?) I apologize for making a speech. As I said in response to a previous comment, I respect your opinions, though I cannot agree with them. I regret that you don't like my avatar, but, by the same token, I'm happy that enough people seemed to find enjoyment in it to put it in so high a place.

    I am humbled and grateful to you all, whether you say yay or nay.
