Description Do I regret what I did? No. Regret is for the weak, and I know I am anything but that.

... and so my beautiful wings, promised and given to me for all eternity, have been stolen away... replaced by these charred and darkened, sad excuses for wings. But that's fine. I think they suit me better, anyhow...

Never forget me, and what you have done. I swear, my return will be glorious.

FULLVIEW CRITICAL!

STOCKS :

Background :

Woman and Heaven's Gates : Stock Xchange

------

NOTE:

Yeah this one definately took me forever, but i rather like it. Wanted to do a piece that i didnt desaturate a lot, and so here you go

I dont normally do pictures of angels, or demons, etc. I know theyve been done, and done again. But this one seemed... fitting... somehow to me. And thus is born what you see.

Feedback on this is essential to me. Do you like the more colorful works? Or does it suck as much as I fear you will think?

Ahh well. I love it, and that's what counts in the end, I guess.

Thanks so much for looking. its appreciated in a big big way.

Ohh... I am sorry to hear the problem with the settings. But this piece looks so great! I wonder how it would be if it was the way you liked it to be!

I thought they looked more like faerie wings when I first saw them. But I do like the color! Just don't overdo it, okay? I love the image... Reminds me vaguely of a character my sister came up with years ago...

It is nice to have a few darker works in your gallery, I think. We aren't always happy all of the time, and I think this shows that quite well! I am very impressed, and I think you did a wonderful job!

The pride of the fallen...they are what they made themselves, is it not better to be proud of yourself, than to sink to depression because it is not what others would desire?

I definitely am loving this--except one thing. The way you didn't erase the black around the girl on that layer. Other than that, it's awesome--I just find that takes away from the picture; unless, of course, you meant to do it that way.

Jomina In reply to sammigurl61190 [2004-04-19 10:48:50 +0000 UTC]

hehe thanks hon.. but actually thats all darkness from the cloud cover in the background, and not anything on her layer

.... suddenly im blind and cannot see for all the shadows surrounding me...



Wish I COULD brighten that up a bit, but.. blah

meh people are ok on this one but not liking it as much as i i think haha


Thanks for the CC!!

Congratulations of trying something more different. Full colour for once

Now. Critique time. The clouds and smoke... You can tell a clone brush has been used to extent the cloud. Especially on the right hand side; you can see the semi transparent sections overlapping each other. I particulary like how the angel is placed and blended in, into the dark swamp area. But, Heaven's gates... I think it should have much more brilliance, like a golden light so we could tell what it was. It wasn't until I read the other descriptions on what it was lol. The bottom of the clouds is a bit too sharp, try offsetting it by using brushes or blurring the area, adding more areas of light and debris.

Great effort though.
