Description

"Aracne, Aracne, your web, where is it?
By the trees of the forest your companions I have seen.

Don't look for me, traveller, you will not find me here.
Of this place I have gone away for a never more return.

Aracne, Aracne, your web, where is it?
Of the trees of the forest doncella's hair are falling.

Damned is my destiny, nobody I can be shown.
Great punishment prevailed to me to weave this loom to end.

Aracne, Aracne, your web, where is it?
On the trees of the forest the moon your silhouette trims.

I don't know how to escape nor where I can be hidden.
My presence causes hatred, fear, grief and pain.

Aracne, Aracne, your web, where is it?
Between the trees of the forest the wind whispers your pains. "

Well, I'm back after a long time ^_^. This work is made in photoshop 7. Hope you like it.

Beautiful image! I have a weakness for Greek myth and this is a good one. I like the idea of Arachne mid-metamorposis, but for me the modern shoe is detracts from the' time and place' you've created. Very good work nonetheless.

Back from a long hibernation with work that really bites!
This work is awesome, and I think it'll send you lots of happy votes.
Your anime style has worked well for you here, it's developed with a good realistic synergy - the kind of style I'm after myself!

The foliage is well done. Full of care but not too much on the details.

The lady's skin is really believable, and her look is stunning.

Technique wise, you've come really far. But when do you intend to draw more males? I'd like to see if you can command the same skill with drawing and painting guys.

I loved it!!!!

The tatoo under her eye was a nice touch.

Truly a fabulous piece.

The composition is balanced, the underbush believable, tones perfect and the lady adorable. Can't think of anything more to ask for.

You just have that magic touch. +8

congratulations, this work is truly amazing!

i can see some little problem of proporortions (i.e. her right hand), but completely obscured from the great atmosphere, the details and the composition.
it's for artworks like this i loved gfx the first time i came here ;)

Thanks a lot everybody for all your votes and comments, I really apreciated your opinions.
Elfhands - I will try to do more males soon ^__^
Kariefury - yes, there is eight spiders including the girl, but it's a little difficult to see them because of the size of the work ^^.

Thanks so much everybody ^____________^

The spider to the moon! lovely touch!

As a lover of spiders I must admit that this work is very peaceful, erotic and wildly beautiful.

The elf girl's right knee looks a bit large but it may be that she still has a stocking there.

I love, love, LOVE your work!

It looks to me as the hand in front is too big in proportion to her body, but maybe it's just me. good work!

Lovely CG! I agree with Lindabee32. The note of Innocence is very prominent within such a dark atmosphere. I like the "emotional" tone of this picture and am happy I got to see it! Thank you! :)

Intensely good. The depth of the background is so effective in this piece, and her hands are, I think, the finishing touch. The color choices also are nigh on perfection.

She is absolutely stunning. No le cambies nada, todavia me pregunto porque es que mucha gente estan dandote complaints de sus sapatos...es algo muy pequeno que no tiene nada que ver con la pintura...I'm very happy for you with this painting, as llegado a un estado professional~!

Si te pudiera dar mas de 5 puntos te los diera todos! pero nada mas te puedo dar 5.

Good luck with everything!

Prinova: I do a little sketch first, with the position of the character and the background in a few lines, and then I work with photoshop. :)

w0lf: no, I didn't play dungeons&dragons, but I play with other rol games of heroic-fantasy ^^.

Thanks everybody for your comments ^_____^

There should be liked more trees forged into the fog because, she is in the woods isn't she?? where at the level of her waist? because she isn't actly at the top of the tree canopy. because i see still big tree branches from lower parts of the trees. but i realy like the picture concept with the girl and the spider!

P.S. I hope you replie back for me because i like hear what you think about this replie?

I do see some problems with the proportions of her body - for instance, her thighs look a little large for the size of her waist and upper torso. However, since she is obviously not human, who's to say her body should be strictly humanoid?

I love the mutted background of this piece, the creative wings, and, especially, the draping of her 'skirt' (?) :), and the way it almost echoes the draping of the moss.

Very nicely done.

I ask myself why, with a so cloudy sky, the moon is so visible and light...I don't like her foot and her right hand, even because it seems to be on the wrong arms...isn't it a left hand on a right arm? However, she reminds me a lot of Cry of angel sanctuary, maybe because the colours of hair and the eyes' form. Maybe the whole picture is a bit gray, but it's still nice :)
