    I always adored them.
    They seemed more mysterious then the magicians.

    You've outdone yourself this time, Taffy.

    I absolutely adore this. First off, the colours are just spiraling out of control and it's beautiful! Also, the assistant's face is really pretty too. I really like how she was drawn, particularly her face. There's something really nice about it. I love how there's also a balance. Like, the top bit is really exploding with stuff but so is the bottom. It really brings the picture together. I actually didn't realize the eye at first, but once I did I totally just fell in love. I love eyes, be it even eye balls like this. Plus, the eyelashes are really cool looking too.
    There are some things that bug me a bit. Just a tiny bit, really, I've fallen in love with the piece so these things don't really bother me - but I just thought you'd like to know. Her body looks a bit disproportional. Mainly her chest and her shoulder. I'm not sure what tips it off a bit, but it looks kind of odd. Just a bit. Also, some of your black parts like the hat and the lining of the orb/egg/thing (lolol) has some white spots in them. It's quite minimal, but maybe colouring them in would be cool too.
    All in all, a total big-epic-YES to your latest work. This is beyond gorgeous. I absolutely love it. Again. c:

    Comment incroyable! J'adore cette oeuvre d'art!

    The things i love most about this piece are:
    1. Great composition. There are equal amounts of action on the top as there is on the bottom.
    2. The use of color and the blending of it is very well done. Hahaa i assume you used watercolor here as well?
    3. The assistant is well done, really cute. I also love her bow-tie and her suit is lovely. You made that look good.
    4. All the little magic tricks bring fun into the picture. I also like the top hat on the top! (I'm curious though as to why she has an eyeball in her hand though... Hahaa!

    Things that could use improvements:
    1. The shoulder and the spine are a little flat. I think it wouldn't hurt to have a more curvaceous back to compensate with the bust size. (sorry, that sounds really awkward...)
    2. The cheekbone is a little off, maybe if it were a little more smooth...

    What a great turnout! This is a great piece and it is a visual treat. Keep it up, and i hope you accomplish your dream and please post more of your work!!!
