This piece of work is amazing for its wonderful textures and details and fantasy. The superlatives could keep coming about this picture

Did you know that there is a soup in the sea of small plastics, near the Hawaiian islands. Its the toilet bowl of the Pacific. Gross and it sucks. ~~~ABC

Awesome as always, have been a fan of your work ever since I saw it. As for constructive criticism on the face, the hair that's in front of her cheekbone makes it seem that the bone structure is strange, and the highlight that touches nose, forehead and lips doesn't touch the cheekbone, which I think is why it doesn't look as rounded as the rest of her.

Cool concept, but there's something about her right hand that's slightly off - disproportionate I think.

Beautiful. Amazing. Epic. True. I love it.
BG on the right seems a bit lacking to me.
I'm also really glad you didn't give this a [mature] tag. This is not mature. This is reality.

StarLegend In reply to StarLegend [2009-03-23 22:23:32 +0000 UTC]

Woops I was wrong..
In that case, I think the [mature] tag is undeserved.
See above post.

Sadly you are right, and the worst of all is that we are so dependent of all that plastic shit that most people can't imagine a life without it.

A lot of people don't seem to understand just how real the problem is, and I think this piece defines it. Beauty drowning in trash--jokes aside, this is stunning. Fav'd both the video and this piece.

If she's made of recycled plastic, I'm going to start being a lot more diligent about recycling! How many bottles does it take to make one? Seriously, though - very pretty. The juxtaposition between the beautiful girl and the trashed landscape is pretty jarring.
