Merry Critmas from the Samurai Snowmen!
She's gorgeous but this image falls just over my personal line of being too busy. Her jewelry, her raised hair (trapped within spider webs?), the flowering branches behind her, the butterflies (moths?), the peeling wall - I can't focus on anything because there's always something new to see less than an inch away. The least busy area is the center of the image, her face and collarbone, but even that is interrupted by a necklace and hair braid. So my eye is drawn to her beautiful face in the center, then pulled outward by one thing after another. This overall gives the feeling of an explosion expanding towards the edges of the image, which is further suggested by how everything (the branches, her hair, her crown) seems to point or move outward. I'd really like to see a few alternate versions of this image, such as without the jewelry or wearing a modern t-shirt, less busy and more focused.
Vision: A beautiful woman adorned in gold and white. Maybe a bridal picture? A princess?
Originality: The jewelry is all interesting but creating beauty with adornment feels sort of old.
Technique: Ultra-rich detail and design where nothing seems off.
Impact: Her beauty draws me in and makes me wonder what kind of person she is. Does she want to wear this jewelry? Why does she feel sort of dangerous and unhappy? Where is she going and what will she do?

Thanks for the critique!
I agree with your words. It looks busy - less is more. Sometimes I like to draw busy artworks, it makes me satisfied, but this is my personal preferation. This was an experiment, next time will be better maybe. I think if I make the wall less detailed or noisy/blurred then it can be one of solution. Beside this I wanted to make look her mystical, supernatural - thats why her hair is raised - and also noble. I'm sorry if you found it boring. But it also makes you think? Good!
Thanks again.

Not boring in the least! She's physically beautiful but I think real beauty is in the person, not the things they wear. Putting jewelry on her is like putting ornaments on a tree - you get a Christmas Tree, which is beautiful but only there to be beautiful ... and the metaphor ends there, because Christmas trees are raised to be Christmas Trees. Doing that to a person sort of makes an object of them, not a person. I'm probably not making sense, sorry.
You're very welcome.

Now I get it what you mean. No problem. Our viewpoints are just different.

I am a warrior of the critique CRITmas Ninja force e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>
Vision:
This picture shows some goddess (as I guess) of either nature or winter.
Originality:
Phantasy always arises from the inner of an artist, so it can only be "original".
Technique:
I like the mixed media style you have used here. The background looks other than the foreground.
The girl in the foreground looks more real, especially her face can be compared to a photography. The headdress or diadem is placed a little odd: Is it on her head, on her brow, hanging from above? There a little more elaboration is needed.
Now the background: It is simply painted, I guess in the technique of an aquarell style, using a big brush, water and watercolors to get that effect. Terrific!
The golden flowers and the white butterflies are phantastic additions to the scene. Again, they are detailed drawn and pop up the simple background.
Impact:
For me, the picture shows also an spiritual aspect as of cleanliness and purity, innocence, love and warmth.
Overall, this is an outstanding phantasy painting. Keep up that good work.

Thank you for the critique!
I found funny that you thought (or I misunderstood your words?) the background is painted traditionally but it's digital work as well. ^^ Or you mean it looks like traditional? Anyway. Since it's actually an old painted wall I don't mind if people think this because it was my purpose and now I know that my effort was succesful.
I also think that the headwear is not so correct.
Thanks again!

Szia!
Minden munkádat imádom, iszonyatosan tehetséges vagy!
A színek lenyűgözőek, az árnyékolási technikád nagyon profi. A csillogások a fények ábrázolása olyan hatást kelt, mintha valami álomszerű kép tárulna az ember elé.
A hajviselet, az ékszerek, a pillangók nagyon precízen vannak elkészítve, biztos sok munka van mögöttük.
Nem tudom, honnan jön az iheted, de azt igen, hogy van fantáziád.
Amit nagyon imádok a műveidben, az az, ahogy a karakterek szemeit ábrázolod, egy műnél, amin embereket vagy valami lényeket ábrázolnak, mindig az az első, hogy a szemüket nézem meg... nekem ez a gyengém.
Sok ilyen remek művet kívánok még!
