Sparkles in the Wind

I feel that you found the balance between realism and a more anime style very well. The hair really does appear to be blowing in the wind, and the eyes seem to be staring right through you. I love the softness of this piece and how it almost feels like a faded treasured memory. The colour scheme works really well together and the shading is done beautifully. I love her doll face and the way her mouth sets and I think the scene is conveyed very well. My only real criticism is the dress is a little less polished than the rest of it but it's still a gorgeous work of art.
