Description

My rendition of the story of Narcissus and Echo, with a pseudo-Asianic twist. yep.

The original was so large I had to work in little bits and pieces and then compile them all together like a jigsaw puzzle. ^^ It was quite the task. There are some cohesion issues as a result of this method, but it was as a whole, a good learning experience for me.

It looks really good, and the dress is really stunning!:o
maybe the background needed a little more blur, so the dress and the women really comes to the foreground...

Great job! I really like the colors. How do you go about choosing your color palette? Do you decide which colors before you start or is it a progressive thing?

the work on the dress is unbelievable! but isn't narcissus supposed to be a man?
or is it major androgynity?

Both the idea and the execution are wonderful! Very imaginative piece. The atmosphere is very comfortable and of course that has to be one of the best painted fabric I have seen in a long time:)

Thank you everyone! :3

The pattern on the dress was quite a lot of work, but I had anticipated that, since it was the reason I made the picture in the first place. ;]

emarts: I didn't plan a colour scheme for this one, really. I only knew that I wanted to push the spectrum and that the colours were to cool towards the right. Everything else just came pretty much impromptu.

oomphgirl16: Er, yeah. That _is_ a man. ^^ I don't do androgyny on purpose; I simply try to edit the features until I like how they look. :)

Azhran, I love how your pictures tell a story. I eagerly look forward to every painting you share with us. I agree with an earlier comment that the background competes with the foreground, but other than that, brilliant work!

I love the colours, i love everything about this picture. It has been quite some time since i last was this excited about one artwork. Really excellent work.

May i ask on what part of the picture you used Painter and what you drew with Photoshop? I simply can't tell.

Your stuff reminds me so much of Enayla's work. Yet, I think your stuff is even more masterfully executed. Really good stuff. Who do you work for, if you don't mind me asking?...
