Description and wouldn't you like to know........


mary

dark intentionally - blurred intentionally - harsh colors intentionally - i know the skin looks strange - its ok - it is strange she's wearing too harsh make up. yeah - i know that too. have i covered everything? i don't always feel smooth and life like and clean

(full view if you think you can handle not seeing in her eyes - i know its frustrating for you)

(call it a mood )

this is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know how I missed seeing it in your gallery when I looked through it earlier or maybe I did see it, and i was being stupid, but that's besides the point.


the contrast the colors are absolutely amazing. i love how the face is tilted and how the light hits the face and such..if that makes any sense.I love how the background is all black and it seems like the darkness is consuming the face. I just absolutely love this photograph

i love the agressiveness in this, even shown in your description. i like the red coming forwards from the background , then picked up the the lips and cheeks. the black neclace you are wearing breaks up the areas nicely. i like the fact that you cant really see your eyes - reinforced that you have soemthing to hide

I like it a lot. I love all the colors to the skin and the blurriness. It makes it feel like a painting to me in a way. I can't get over the skin, very visually interesting.

(im really behind)

I definitly love the green down on your shoulder.
This is my fav part!

it right away reminded me the Impressionists, with the red up and the green down.it's interesting, because you know how much I like sharpness and all that jazz.
However, I really like that piece from you Mary.
The reflection of the green from the hair all the way down your shoulder!it is poetry by itself!

Rockin!

YES!!!!!!

Ah, I am SO happy you did receive it!!!
And, I am so so so happy you like it Mary!!!!

That truly makes me happy, and that is a rare thing!

See, the whole point of artwork is to give it away.
This is my deepest believe concerning artwork.
Unfortunatly, I got judge about it many many time!
But here, i'm free to do so!!!!

Yea.
You rock!
You're the leader!

I like the photo, as for the skin tone, I think it suits it. Yes it could be turned down, but I am sure if you toy around with it in photoshop it might yield some interesting results.

You're right, it is frustrating not seeing the eyes. The pose is really powerful, almost challenging. It's like 'Here I am and this is all I'm showing, take it or leave it'.

glitteryblackrose [2004-02-16 09:55:43 +0000 UTC]

i like it, looks like her shoulders going putrid, has a gross kind of beauty..
and what blush isnt allowed cos deviant pale code is only allowed???
the blush colour looks really good against the other greeny and yellow tones.
i think this is one of my favs of urs, its very different to the amount of repeated shit on deviant, i dont think i can recall a pic that looks like this, original woooooooooooooooooooo !

there's something very deep about this photograph... shes kind of daring you to judge her and the way she is...in your face kind of attitude, the kind of person who smokes and does drugs and cuts herself to feel better and then dares you to say somehting about it

very nice

very good job capturing a dark mood. the colors really enhance it, and not seeing the eyes hides what she may or may not be feeling. overall this is a very good shot.
