Description Does he still think about me?

Does he still care?


Maybe if I wish it hard enough, the dream of forgiveness can come true....


----

NOTE: The face in this was referenced from a photo on Stock Xchange, but its so different now as to be indistinguishable. Just used it as a bit of a wireframe reference i guess. heh

Anyhow... a great amount of time was spent trying to get this to come out how I wished it to, and i believe I am satisfied.. for now.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FULL VIEW HERE or you'll miss the detailing.

Comments/feedback would be greatly appreciated, of course.

Still trying to get back into the swing of things after the long break.

This must be one of your greatest pieces of art. It has been in my messagebox for a long time, i was keeping it for when I would return from holidays, to be able to admire it properly. High quality work indeed, very inspired and technically great! I love the feeling.... strange but somehow familiar...

A beautiful softness and contrast between the light and dark. For some reason the bottom lip's detail seems too sharp and rigid for the sort of dreamy-mystical atmosphere this piece has and it almost looks detached from the skin/chin area. So lovely and peaceful though. I love to see what people can do with digital painting portraits.

This is completely filled with beautiful emotions. I love her expression, i love the way she doesn't lose hope. I love the light in her face, i love the sky above her and the way she seems to fly through it as she begs the stars to make her wish come true.

Just so wonderful ira!

Holy crap! If you hadn't said anything, I would have never known that it was a painting! Well, and if I hadn't looked at what category it's under. Haha. But anyway, damn! This is really incredible! What a beautiful concept. The colors are perfect for this. Really help set the mood. And I just adore your style of painting! Amazing work, dear!

Hmhm..

I'll get right down to it:

Great clarity here, something I like in your manips.. You keep the natural detail in your works intact.. The model here reminds me of Audrey Hepburn, that classy B&W 60's look.

It's a classic Jomina-piece wrapped up in the newer photomanips, great mix. Personally, I don't connect too much to the direction your message gives to the picture, but I don't have to to enjoy this.

Welcome back, Ira.
