Artist's Comments

May dreams carry me away
while I hope for a better day.
All my wish is, for tomorrow
that the end comes to the sorrow.

With my love by my side
I will conquer it tonight.

Gotta love experiments!

Vision... This definitely looks like a complete idea. It looks like you had an idea in your head and you put it down on your (virtual) paper. There is a consistent, thought subtle, theme to this entire portrait.

Originality... It is pretty difficult to come up with a truly astoundingly original bust, since there are just SO MANY on DeviantArt, that eventually they all do start blending together... That said, I think you have definitely displayed a sense of originality, with the little details here, like her fluffy collar, and the wild hair. Her face also strikes me as 'something different' with her extremely dark, smoky eye makeup and grey eyes. They are a great focal point to remember this piece by. I only gave it three stars, because the piece didn't drop my jaw and make me shout "I would have NEVER thought of something like this!" but you did definitely give it your own spin and style.

Technique... You have pretty well mastered your style of coloring and shading... I love how 'fluffy' your coloring looks. It looks so soft and wonderful, like a glamor portrait. I do notice a few details that look a bit wonky to me. One of which is her left nostril. To me, it looks like her left nostril (our right) is much lower than her right whereas her left eye is higher than her right eye. The way to correct this the best would be to bring the skin below her nostril up a big further and just have less of the nostril showing.

Another thing that doesn't really strike me as an anatomical mistake, but rather a trick of your lighting is her right shoulder (the one toward us) sort of blends a bit too well with her breast area, creating the look of some strange fleshy blob. When you look at it closely, you can totally tell where the shoulder ought to end and the chest begin, but at a glance, it looks like one amorphous blob of flesh. A tiny bit of definition to separate the shoulder and the chest would clear that up in about 2 brush strokes though, if you felt the need.

Impact... more than anything, what impacts me is the mysterious look in her eye. You have a great talent at snowing emotion in the faces you create. The emotive expressions on your paintings' faces are always what catch my eye. Keep up on the good work there ;)

The title is absolutely perfect for this piece, it describes it so well. You have really created a dreamy atmosphere with this by the use of color and the small sparkles throughout. Everything seems to flow, the hair going in a direction, but swirls around softly, the collar around her neck seems very soft just like her skin which is shown by the way the light is shining on it. Very nice expression which is mostly conveyed by the look in her eyes, almost peaceful, which goes very well with what you had written about it. Very nice work painting it.

this is very beautiful, my only suggestion would be get rid of the big dark blobs on her chest(i think they are her dress). They distract me from her face which is the whole point of the viewers view if you get me. The rest of her is so nice and soft whereas those are very harsh and draw my eye away from her face.

It's a very beautiful image, but that small thing bugs me.
:iconmahdydesigns:
this is very beautiful, well done :)

I love the colours in this.
As well as the swirls - really strong fluid strokes. The detailing in her hair, necklace and especially her eyes are just stunning. :wow: I really love that shade of eyeshadow.

It's a bit disconcerting that she doesn't have an ear though but I thought maybe it was hidden beneath her hair. :hmm:

Oh and I didn't fnd the dark shades at the top of her dress distracting, I thought that was shading around the top of her boobs. :)

Lovely work. :hug:
