I really like the DNA usage, and the clip in her hair, I forget what those are called, but that's cool too, all the genetics references.

It's like Pretties, only from birth!
Maybe they'll avoid the mind-numbing part at least~

(If you haven't read the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, I highly recommend it~ )

Anyway, it's a very beautiful work!! ^.^

beautiful colors, amazing use of creativity, and composition. i love it! great work.

Hmmm...that's a good idea. I want to have a child who's genetically engineered to be everything but lazy, ignorant, stupid, cowardly, self-absorbed, petty, angsty and spiteful. Also, I wish I could have a child with a system adverse to any kind of substance abuse because I want my child to grow up being all he/she can be, not sitting around wasting time on drugs and alcohol.

Nice picture!

It seems those traits would be more of a product of Nuture rather than Nature... or even Genetically Engineered Nature.

That's beautiful I love how her dress curves around the bottom as if to become part of the background.

Thanks!! Also the dress disappears into a DNA sequencing pattern as well, to match the staircase/DNA helix...

Very good film starring Ethan Hawke, Jude Law and Uma Thurman.
Set in the future, where advancements in genetics has allowed society to analyze your DNA and determine where you belong in life and to also 'manufacture' human beings to perfection.

I'm intrigued. You're absolutely correct in how fitting it is... A frightening possibility.
