There's nothing wrong with a blur- its just whether it suits it or not. Most people love my drawings of guys where they are all hot and sultry, but I can't always draw them like that. I figure that if you draw the picture to convey a messege, then that is better than drawing an audiance. My suggestion- don't go for what others want you to do, unless they have a valid reason. Just cause someone says a character has to be drawn some way, doesn't mean that they should. Draw what's in your heart. If your heart still wants it to be blurry, then nothing I can say can change that. Art is about the artist expressing something. I can only suggest how I feel things react.

http://www.richard-seaman.com/Underwater/Vanuatu/MoorishIdol2ThreadfinButterflyfish2OtherButterflyfish.jpg this is a perfect example of what I think you thought would happen. The fish are hazy, butit's not cause they are blurred- it's cause there is fragments in the water that block the image of the fish from being seen by the viewer (the rest of it is jpg blurring the picture to heck ^^; )

Basically, all I'm doing is giing a suggestion to make it more realistic, but at the end of the day, if you think it should be blurry for a reason, then make it blurry. All I'm doing is suggesting that It would sill be sharp Smile

    yeah, i seewhat you mean, and now that i'mm looking at it with a fresh eye i have to agree, i love the way the face came out, and i think it would look better if the whole thing was done with that feel, thankies for continuing to press the issue, lol. (i'm not trying to say that in a rude way, just couldn't think of howto put it,hehe.) i'll give it a shot right now ^^

      Sorry about that Smile I just wanted you to understand that just cause I suggested something that it should be gospel. You may have a totally different idea for something- often someone querrys how I finished something, and there is always a reason. And they're always like- duh, of corse that is the subject, which is why you did all that weird **insert what I did in a strange way**

      Its all about artist expression. Break the rules as much as you want, just leave a few together, so we can fully appreciate the subject too Wink
