She was like my biggest fucking idol since I entered the hobby.
When I started doing face-ups she was what I wanted to be in the end.
I saw one of her face-ups two years ago in real.
I was...shocked.
The face-up was bland, not really detailed and the line work was pretty messy.
The photo of the Venitu was enough for me then.
However, it's not really her fault.
She never wanted to get popular and her prices are only that high because people pushed her to it (as in "You want less commission requests? Ask for a higher price!"...that backfired though, people still went mad for her stuff).
On one hand, feels good to know I surpassed my idol.
On the other hand, still pretty disappointed.
PearlsOfDanube is one of my favourites, but I am pretty flexible.
Just dislike pencil shit and crusty, messy line work (no matter how good the blushing is).
