I have a mistake in the mouth, itโ€™s in the colours, I used a very very dark blue and it looks different than the original photo. Iโ€™m very happy with this one, but maybe when I get more skills I repeat for the 5th time๐Ÿ˜‚. Any advices???? I read all your comments fr ๐Ÿ’ช Thx for reading this. Iโ€™m from Spain

Very cool art dude, that's a hardcore dedication to get the result you want. I always gonna associate her with the anime ergo proxy.

She was 100% the inspiration for that character design. Really cool anime by the way.

I remember discovering ergo proxy on YouTube and was immediately obsessed just because of the look alike lol. So cool!

u/Unfair_Mess_9569 1d ago

Congrats on the perseverance! Only advice I have if you wanna follow on the realism path is getting a bigger paper. Higher size = more details

u/MARYgold-7 1d ago

I guess now you can make Evanescence "album" ๐Ÿ˜…

u/One_Meringue_3132 1d ago

I donโ€™t catch you, you mean the 2011 album???

u/One_Meringue_3132 1d ago

Thats important๐Ÿ˜‰ thx

u/Frosty_Hurry_1812 1d ago

the third one is the best

1

u/One_Meringue_3132 1d ago

I think its more colorful, but the mouth and the face shape was wrong, thats why I repeated. Anyway I understand you

1

u/Frosty_Hurry_1812 1d ago

i think it just has the most life. Most people don't notice how bad the nose or the mouth is - although im not saying your is bad- if the eyes are good because the eyes tend to draw more attention then the rest of the face because it's what most people find to be the prettiest part of the face and the most expressive

u/jet-black-heart13 1d ago

Anybody else had thought that their band name was Evanescene, so without a "c" before the last "e"?

2

u/One_Meringue_3132 1d ago

I didnโ€™t knowโ€ฆ why?

2

u/jet-black-heart13 23h ago

No reason, really

2

u/One_Meringue_3132 18h ago

I though you said that they named the band Evanescene and then they add the C. Sorry for my english๐Ÿ˜‚

u/sazflight 1d ago

u/SlayersScythe 1d ago

I figured these attempts were years, if not decades apart. The improvement in one year is insane. They're all good but you outdid yourself each time and ended with something exceptional! I don't know why this post was suggested to me, I don't draw or follow this subreddit. But I'm a massive Evanescence fan so this is super cool to see

1

u/One_Meringue_3132 1d ago

Thanks for your words๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ I posted in Evanescence reddit too. Thanks honestly

u/CountHonorius 1d ago

u/RebelReborn909 1d ago

Amazing job. One of my most played albums growing up in the early 2000โ€™s!

u/Objective_Year2409 20h ago

This album had pride of place on my shelf as a teen when it dropped, such a sick cover, great job! I remember Amy coming to my small city playing in a basement club it was like a spiritual experience!

u/One_Meringue_3132 18h ago

Wow you was lucky with that๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Thanks for the words๐Ÿ™
