Heh, nice to see that Eisu is really beavering away. It means pleasant-surprise updates appearing at the most unexpected times.

Also nice to see the return of Sandra's self-appointed nemesis and the long-suffering Nadine. The borderline-crazy-person pinboard was a nice touch, too.

Something about panel 2 is mesmerizing to me. That expression is most definitely going on my list of potential avatars, because I cannot look away from it

For me, it's panel 1. Such a sweet moment... and shtoopid Eloise had to look away.

BTW this was fast! Kudos to Eisu. And kudos to whoever it was in last thread who said they wanted Eloise/Nadine again. Your wish has been granted! :D

I actually imagine Nadine with purplish hair, so maroon is pretty damn close to what I had in mind ^o^ Nice!

Got a hue in mind? I've been messing around with Nadine's hair in potatoshop

Also, thanks! It a little blurry since I decided to just color in 100x100, which has its own charm

Very nice shading and highlights.

One thing I might suggest thinking about is giving them slightly different skin tones. Doesn't have to be a big difference, but just a little contrast could make the two faces more distinct from one another & help the picture 'pop' .

The messed up thing is I did make different swatches for their skin. Nadine's is a cooler blue/grey undertones and Eloise's was warm all the way down. It just happened that once I was done and tossed blush on I had one of those =.= moments where I seem to have accidentally toned them identical. Which is annoying. Been trying to push Nadine a little greyer and blue/greyish

Very professional-looking piece of colouring. Good work!
