Description This was a (belated) wedding present for a good friend of mine. I borrowed shamelessly from many sources for the various textures in the background.

I went for a look inspired by artists such as Klimt and Mucha.

The skin tones are very realistic and smooth. The windows must have taken a lot of work to get them to look so precise!

Thank you As for the windows, I stole the lattice pattern from a mathematics website that was examining geometric patterns in Islamic art! So that part wasn't too difficult.

gorgeous!! you've got a lucky friend. the elements of Klimt come through loud and clear, but it's very uniquely your style too.

Thanks! It's funny how style develops so unconsciously... I still look at my work and think I lack any definite style, yet I know apparently I'm doing things that are recognizable to others.

I have recently noticed that Dave Stewart uses it like a mad man. Check his coloring in bprd!

I'm told by an Iraqi friend of mine that those Arabic portions are verses from the Holy Qu'ran. I don't know . . . you saw what they did to that teacher for naming that stuffed animal Mohammed. HIDE!
