Second comment, good figure, border seems squashed and a bit flat. Very very incredibnably gooooood! +7

Seide  10/20/03 @847

i really like it but it seems a flat ... her dress and the whole background are gorgeous

marcia  10/20/03 @856

Funny that you mentioned Gene Tierney, because what first struck me about this image was how much it looks like the old Hollywood glamour shots of the 30s and 40s. Lovely.

HOON  10/20/03 @860

you are handling both stylish "anime-cartoon" feel and "realistic" very well with confindece. i like seeing updated style of Art Nouveau. mucha will be proud. nitpick.. her back doesnt seem to have any anatomical detail. her dress also looks great yet, it doesnt seem to wrap her body in a realistic way. these are really minor picking at really well executed art though. great job. and much respect for your art. Cheers!

Stephan-Desy  10/20/03 @870

Holy Shit, nicely done. Love the soft tones.

Nerfherder  10/20/03 @886

Great details, but I agree with Hoon, her back lacks bone stucture and muscle tone. I also think her face could use a touch more shadow blended in as well as a few more highlights. I also noticed the left side hand may need a bit more of your general lighting. It was easy to pick out those little things that seem wrong, because almost everything is just right. Those details aside, I think this is an extremely impressive work, and you should be very proud of it.

Thanks everyone HOON, Nerfherder: I agree with all what you said and i must admit i pretty much gave up on that piece on the end. I've updated the face though, it looked obviously flat compared to the rest but adding the highlights seems to make even more confusing the lighting on this piece which was a bit of a problem to me since the very beginning. As for the back, there's nothing merely because i got no idae what muscles usually show on a not-body-builded female back I have to find out in that.. thanks again.

Nyhtmare  10/20/03 @922

I agree with everyone that this piece is great and I think it has its own beauty...I mean this is really gorgeous! But getting to the nitty gritty her right hand appears blobbish to me, though maybe it's just me. And the little jewel/red ball hanging down her back appears very out of place how it is positioned. It doesn't seem right and I dunno if I can lay a finger on it. I think maybe if you straightened it out it would look more realistic, because the curve in the chain it's hanging on just isn't doing it justice. I dunno, I'm crazy...enough of my babbling, this is incredibly lovely..I've never seen such a majestic face...keep up the great work! I love it!

Picky  10/20/03 @957

I am glad you spent all this time working on the details. Sometimes you have to go a few steps further to make the painting stand out more. I love this! I agree her back needs more bone definition and her right hand could use some more work, but overall it's a very nice piece. I can't stop staring at the beautiful border framing the painting

tadashya  10/21/03 @044

absolutely stunning work. I hope to be even one tenth this good someday

krazykrista  10/21/03 @117

Just beautiful! I absolutely love the style! I must say though...her body seems to depart from the shading style on her face. I think some harder shadows would do the trick. Really looks lovely though!

PeachySticks  10/21/03 @275

This is really beautiful work. The colour scheme is harmonious, the render rich and smooth like a traditional oil painting. And I love the old Hollywood glamour look. Actually this kinda reminds me of the cigarette ads (Yurkish Gold?!)... but I meant that in a nice way.

turtle  10/21/03 @692

I've updated the piece, added some anatomical definitions on her back. Thanks alot folks for the helpful crits!

Zezillia  10/21/03 @707

aaaah, this is sooo lovely! The colours is amazing!

spearcarrier  10/21/03 @778

Gorgeous.. I love the framework and the overall feel of the piece.

oomphgirl16  10/21/03 @820

She is really really loaded with jewelry!! I love the symbolism of the red skirt under the white dress (hidden passion right?) composition, colours and attention to datails especially the flower in front, are simply stunning as usual

lyn  10/21/03 @895

It's a shame this didn't get in, very lovely work! The frame is dazzling, love the detail work especially on the male centaur at the left :] Her clothes are particularly fetching!

geckzilla  10/21/03 @921

Hey, nice image. You're one of my favorite artists as of late. Thanks for showing the ref, too. It's nice that you really integrated it into the art as a whole instead of just taking a ref and copying it bit for bit. Way too much of that late and it never gets interesting. I have a particular liking for the lower portion of the border... really nice.

turtle  10/22/03 @041

Thanx Geck, i really appreciate. Hope i won't disappoint you!

Keikeila  10/22/03 @118

This is an absolutely STUNNING picture. Your choice of colors are amazing (i always have problems with that....) And I love how the border melts into the picture - amazing.

fanellya  10/23/03 @559

Gorgeousss!! there are lots of details which are really fun to look at ( i almost miss the snake and the apple) and yet the piece doesn't look crowded at all; the face and the dress keep remaining in focus and the color scheme is just as strong. wonderful work!

Ilya  10/23/03 @803

Top notch boy! y'a quand même un truc que je trouve frappant, sur les 19 commentaires, le rapport filles/garçons est de ... 14 à 5 !!! c'est à croire que ta princesse ne plaît qu'aux filles!

Absolutely exquisite! (Sorry for the ditto Serafin!) Beautiful...captivating...love it!

phamtastic  10/25/03 @296

Wow! This absolutely gorgeous. Cept for some minor quibbles that have already been mentioned, this piece is perfect. It definatley reminds of the onscreen sirens of the 30's and 40's

BeccaCox  10/25/03 @421

Wow...congrats on a superb image!!!

toe  10/25/03 @600

magnificent hehe got nothing much to say

ananda  10/25/03 @776

Another wow! I also love the exquisite detailing and when I first saw the thumbnail I had to check it out as the face was so recognizable. You definitely captured the look of Gene Tierney (it's those sleepy , sultry eyes!). I wish though that the skin had as a luminent quality as the background and the dress but this is still an amazing piece of work. If I could do half of what you do , I'd be happy!

mindcrash  10/25/03 @907

Holy shit... i'm speechless...

AvolonPrincess  10/26/03 @029

Its very nice, but um...what color are her eyes? If you were going to use color you could have done them a bit better...cause I cant really tell...other then that its awsome. +7

JudgementDay  11/03/03 @177

See, folks, one can create gorgeous digital art without hacking photos. He used a photo reference but it is obvious that this is from his own hand. Amazing job!!
