It is fine to use your mother tongue, but please always add a translation into English to your postings in Chinese, as you are asked to do by our rules.
A good translator for Chinese to English is DeepL.com, some say that for the other direction, English to Chinese, Baidu would be good (but I can not say if that is true).

使用您的母语是可以的，但请务必按照我们的规则，在您的中文贴子中加上英文翻译。
中译英的好翻译是 DeepL.com，有人说反过来，英译中的百度也不错（但我不能确定是否属实）。

Indeed, beautiful work, and I like this camera angle a lot! Really stands out from the stuff you usually post, at least here on the forums 
I’ll put her as my wallpaper to celebrate the new year

Thank you all very much! I really wasn’t expecting to be featured. 
@sooz Sorry, I was away for a few days. Yes you can post my work to Krita’s socials. You can credit me by using my usernames on different social media accounts. It’s usually just either @carlomontie or @carlo_montie. Thank you again very much!
Edit:
I would describe it as “Lamia with gold accents. Created to celebrate Chinese New Year 2025, the Year of the Snake.”

I mainly used just soft and hard round brushes with modified brush spacing, but I do use Lazy Nezumi Pro for brush smoothing. I haven’t started making any speedpaint videos yet and click here for my socials.
