Simply wonderful!

great atmosphere and colours..no crits

WOW, very nice use of colour, love that shadow being!

Very warm and mystical . . . .

Wow!

WOW this is so beautiful, i love the colors.
It's perfect

The atmosphere with the pink light is ofcourse very very good. The character is well painted, you know it all, don't you? But the character sitting in the darknes; I don't know if that head is correctly placed on the body? Well, it may be, but it looks odd in any case. But the rest is great!

well
amazing piece, you did really well here, i love the dual characters, and the way you worked with light and colors
great work

lovely

simply masterful work....

So... purple - ish
Excellent work!

thienbao awesome work great colors... but there at 2 figures there right?
reason I ask is cause I noticed all the darkness to the bottom right
so I selected the image and highlighted it and I can see something there..
is it just me the figure is to dark to make out?
or is my monitor setting to dark??
dunno.. if you like I will send you a screen shot of how I see it..
I took it into PS and lightened it and noticed looks like an evil elf of some sort?

Awesome colors

The sky looks amazing + 10

stunning piece =) the ambiance is breathtaking

very nice indeed. 9/10
wonderful feeling.

Amazing beauty+10

epic 7/7 my kinda girl my kinda veiw itas a real show stopper

beautiful, beautiful work. love you pallet, almost Maxfield Parish like.

A masterpiece.

I love the face of the girl who is sitting on the rock. She has the look of someone who has had many great adventures. The other figure is also interesting, but too hard to see. When I look closely I can see that the dark figure has a cool snarling expression and the same body art and ring as the girl in the light. I wish these details were more noticeable. I think the background is absolutely perfect though

Thank you all very much for the feed back!! much love

lets get to it shall we? The "Shadow" character is quite dark I know, I had a hard time painting that dark, but still trying to retain as much form as I could. Hey, Pam, if you could send me a capture of how you see, I'd like to see how dark it is on other people's monitor, because it's considerably lighter on my browser than it was when I was painting it in Photoshop. Anyway, though it is dark, you should be able to make out the basic position and markings on the Shadow.
To Jane, I think the head is a bit twisted, more than it should be, hopefully it adds to the creepiness of the character. It is awkward though...
Kadary: If you can, take it in photoshop and lighten it a bit? I prefer it this way.:]

thanks again everyone! and Happy Holidays!

awesome! perfect work!

Ohhh this is perfect. I have recently finished a painting of a character in a rather similar pose/setting but yours is so much better. *sob* I love every single thing about this piece, from colours to composition. +10 of course <3

Lovely
Happy Holidays to you also.

come on Marta, I don't believe that! will it be shown soon?

thanks guys!!

Awesome

Nice colors but in my point of view, may be I am wrong, back side of the girl should be little more dark as bottom side is more darker because light is coming from face side. Other wise is very plesent painting

Amazing image. I love the colors and dejected expression. Simply stunning!

Your paintings never fail to enchant and amaze me. The lighting and choice of colors is just... WOW. I suppose she's not human, so it doesn't necessarily matter, but the neck does seem rather long.
Oh, and I can see the shadowed figure quite clearly. I think lightening him at all would ruin the subtlety of the image.
One thing that does bother me a touch is the placement and scale of the lady elf's feet. Since the they're practically tangent, the foremost foot seems to be resting on the back foot, but I'm thinking this wasn't your intent. Also, the difference in scale between the two might be a touch too great.
Aside from my little nitpicks, this is nigh perfect. I'm dreaming of your next masterpiece!

Excellent composition and colors. Love it. +10

great work my Master!

Beautifull. I can almost feel the wind

I like the colours. Yet, the "punch" is missing due to lack of contrast which leads to a rather flat image. Some highlights would be welcome.

lovely work i like ornaments,background is cool!

BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS! +10

Wonderful artwork!

Congratulations to your wonderful skills!

I really enjoy the darkness of that second figure. Perfect!

+10! =)

Simply superb work. Awesome in every way!
