You strike me as an artist. I see a lot of illustrators and designers, but your work and the way you talk make me think you see your work as something more connective and outside yourself, as well as inside. There are things you could improve on of course (as there are for everyone on the planet), but your skills are very refined and I look forward to seeing what else you make! This piece is fantastic by the way, the folds in the cloth and shading, the clear representation and accuracy of proportions, shape and anatomy. You've done very well! Adding this, and you, to my favorites. Keep it up!
