Description It was going to be a half hour doodle/study, but it turned into a three night work. x_x I oversaturated, then possibly undersaturated the background. And the folds on the woman's dress are detailed but not smooth. ..Ah well.

I used these stock photos for reference (thank you!):

Why are all of these beautiful pieces not hitting my inbox? ><

Your paintings are getting REALLY good. Im especially loving your shading on the skin in this piece. There's also a really nice balance of finished piece and sketchy.

It's a conspiracy!!

Awww thank you D: I'm trying. I keep jumping from one medium and style to another, I'm glad I'm learning a little about each as I go.

This is going to sound weird (b/c I'm not a foot-lover), but her feet/legs are really well done. And the clothes, of course

BrokenApollo In reply to nakedzen [2010-10-17 16:13:47 +0000 UTC]

Hey, just because you notice that the legs and feet are well done doesn't mean you're a foot lover. Just like if I notice that, say, someone drew some boobs really well, doesn't mean I... wait. Well maybe that was a bad example.

Shut up! This is gorgeously amazing! I could never do anything just by using a realistic reference. This is awesome.

D; *Shuts up* I guess I have a habit of pointing out my pictures' flaws lol I don't do it in a self hating kinda way though. D: Thanks so much. References make my life so much easier.

Haha. I get the same way. But you just gotta be like "ya know what, I know this has flaws but this rocks! I'm proud of myself." But yeah, this is gorgeous.

Ahhh, excellently and crisply transitioned from photo referance to painterly style... the person she's waiting for is never coming back is he/she?

BrokenApollo In reply to Levia-the-Dragon [2010-10-11 05:12:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much.

I don't think so. But that won't stop her from waiting.

weatherman667 [2010-10-10 07:33:07 +0000 UTC]

so longing... want to help her... but something warns me away...

get this feeling of impending horror around like, like she was a siren, or some other forsaken maiden of the sea.

BrokenApollo In reply to weatherman667 [2010-10-11 05:14:01 +0000 UTC]

Maybe she is. Maybe she's a siren and she fell in love with a passing sailor. She wants to call out to him, but she knows if she does, he will perish on the rocks. So she must sit alone forever, longing..

weatherman667 In reply to BrokenApollo [2010-10-11 06:59:41 +0000 UTC]

That's exactly what she looks like.
