this is so well conceived and executed . The image is so romantic it cries out for rich color . The fact that it is only in the eyes and the gem draw us to them and make us really look .

the fact the face is gorgeous , the hair flows don't hurt . so happy I came to your gallery .

Was it intended for her to look like Cate Blanchet?

Very nice work...I like the restrained color as well. Nice detail and shading. The only thing that stands out to me is her right eye - it seems to turn up a little too much at the outer corner. The rest is wonderful.

Very nice composition. I like the way it flows. Great spots of color.

I think you have too many midtones going on and some really nice darks and light (especially in the hair and dress) would really make this great.

Can't wait to see the rest!

wow, I love her face and the way you made the gems stand out. The shading is a tiny bit uniform I think... you could make the shadows darker for example...

She is absolutely beautiful! I love how the only color is in her eyes and the jewel.
Something about her reminds me a little of Liv Tyler as Arwen, but I could also see her as the real-life version of Aeris from Final Fantasy 7.
Great job!

blue-willow In reply to Roxyguitarz [2007-05-30 11:01:41 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot, she reminds me of Arwen too although I didn't use a Liv Tyler picture for the reference- I gues my hands are screaming to draw Arwen again
Thank you for the fav too
