Well, lookie here! I drew something! And I really surprised myself, I didn't think it would look this good. xD It's a japanese jade trinket that my Grandpa gave to me a while back. I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like, I assume it's an animal. Maybe a lion or dragon or something. Anyways, it's facing away from you in the picture. I really need to make a different background....

But, this was a step into the unknown for me. I almost never draw realistically, so I surpassed my expectations with this. Jade is amazingly hard to draw. So are strings.


Anyways, I'd love a critique for this piece! Be as harsh as you like! Also, what would you pay for a still life of a small trinket or bauble like this one? I may decide to do requests or commissions (with very limited slots).

it looks amazing! All the little details and the textures! but.... what IS it exsactly? xD is it a leaf attached to a letter attached by a rope? O.o what IS a Japanese trinket? xP

Haha, thanks!

It's actually a little jade figurine. It's supposed to look like an animal, but I can't tell what it is! xD In the picture, it's facing away from you. The rope/string is just attached to the back. There are two little green beads hanging down from it. The little flower thing is made of string and rope.

Ahhhh.... well what ever the animal is suppost to be, it's really really good! :D

XD Thanks! What do you think you'd pay, in the way of gold, for a picture like this?

I'm not good with pricing but... maybe 10,000g or 50 diamonds x3 depending on what the person wants... I could see you drawing different jade trinkets and letting ppl "adopt" them :3

Good idea! Though, I think I'm a little too busy to go around drawing jade adoptables. xD

just a thought haha xD

I love it! It's amazing! For a background I would suggest a plain color that compliments the cookies and also makes the details stand out more. For a piece like this, I would probably pay 10-25k depending on the background and requirements.

I like the pricing here of 10k-50k...maybe more if you could enlarge it for how much space there is, could hardly make out the details. xD

But I love trinkets. >//< You know those gaia online shops where they literally sell pixelated food? I buy those. /orz
