I like the subdued pastel feel. It has an oddly eerie fantasy feel to it.

nice feeling you give and i see a lot of job for this one!
Keep up the good work

This reminds me of "Titanic" for some reason. Shoot me. Very well done; the detailing is grand.

Wonderful detail!

i like it, but it sort of bothers me that there is no yellow reflected in her dress.. she does, after all, seem to be surrounded by gold

wow, very nice painting and alot of detail! was this drawn scanned then painted?

looks like some very old illustration. pretty good!

I think I'm having bad flashbacks with this piece. I worked on 2 Barbie CD Rom games last year and this is cery similiar to some of the work I did for that product...although for Barbie everything had to be pink, pink, pink.
Enough about my emotional damage froming working on Barbie,...this image is rendered well and the details of this period are captured exquisitely. I can definetly appreciate the time and effort that went into creating an image like this. Nice Job

Your work is always so detailed, with lots of depth. This one is very beautiful.

the artist here: I want to thank everyone who commented. PhilipStraub - I'm sorry she reminds you of Barbie X) -- simplistic - yes it was originally a pencil drawing, then scanned and painted - not cheating painting either with the multiply layer so there's not a single original pencil line left in the final -- yeah, it took me an insane amount of time
