Description Obviously, it's not here anymore
By request of one of the stock photographers, I'm rearranging the elements to edit out a particular flower. This isn't much of a problem, since the entire thing is a vector and still fully workable. (I love vectors.)
But it's going to take a bit of time, so until I get that done this detail image (which is my favorite part of the whole image) will hold the spot.

STOCK used for inspiration and referance can be found here: [link]

DETAIL images can be found here--> [link]

This version might be changed before the contest closes tomorrow. Depends on how late I stay up tonight!

File is HUGE sorry. And yeah I fail at foreshortened cheek bones.

Thanks much! I think I like this close-up better than I like the whole image.

thank you for wanting to use my stock. But please next time remember that I do not allow my stock to be used in images containing nudity and I also ask that people credit me in the artist's description. Since the picture is already made, simply credit me and say it was used with special permission. Thanks again.

Thanks for letting me know. Your stock was not directly used- it was referenced for a separate image. All stock images referenced in this image are linked in the collection. The list of stock is too long to be placed on this page, so to be fair I've credited everyone that way. If it offends you, I can remove the referenced part of this image.

Really? if removing the part my stock was referenced for isn't too much trouble for you and you're willing to do so, that would be great.

I'll do that. It might be a bit before the updated version is up- but I only used one flower of yours and should be able to rearrange it out.

(BTW it didn't occur to me that she was naked, since there was no detail and she's supposed to be Eve prior to the fall I guess I just get used to her being the one woman always appropriate in hair n' leaves garb.)

Holy cow, that is cool, and such an interesting concept! I had never thought of Eve like that before.

And crazy as I am, this would make a cool, but expensice, tattoo.

Good luck in the contest, hun.

Kaljaia In reply to Rebelshade [2009-05-25 01:17:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks much! Yeah, Eve gets blasted a lot, so I kind of pity her sometimes. What kind of internal struggle did she go through between picking and eating the apple, and how do you think she felt afterward?

Rebelshade In reply to Kaljaia [2009-05-25 01:22:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I don't think we've ever dug that deep into her character at church before. It's definitely something to think about. And you're welcome hun.

Wow, this is so different from your usual stuff, but it's breathtaking! Your entry is definately different from the others I've seen- blurring the lines between good and evil rather than pitting them against one another. It's so colorful too- most I see have been dark with a bit of light in the middle, stark contrasts for the 'good' and the 'evil' but I think you've caught the true nature of things. There isn't a nice bold line between the borders of what is right and wrong. It's fuzzy and it all mixes together to make something wonderful- the world woundn't be right if it was all good either. *serious philosophical nod*

Kaljaia In reply to casca-x [2009-05-25 01:16:27 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much! This is different- and that's why I entered the contest, more so than for the prizes. It was a good chance to be forced into a different mode of thinking and style of art.
I'm glad you like the theme of it! I wasn't sure how well the idea in my head would translate to paper (I'm still not all that confident about creating thought-provoking art) and it's the kind of thing that can be found offensive, if you look for it. So thanks very much for the comment, and the assurance! I really appreciate it.

casca-x In reply to Kaljaia [2009-05-25 22:35:15 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I must not be very insightful because I don't really see anything offensive about Eve and tigers and... colorful birds. Do you mean the concept that evil is neccissary to keep the world in balance could be offensive? And you're welcome.

Kaljaia In reply to casca-x [2009-05-25 23:02:01 +0000 UTC]

No, it was more that people might think I'm implying buildings/industry and the shinto shrine are evil because they are towards the snake... stuff like that, that was not intentional- in the original plan, I wanted images from different times in history and different cultures, but got rushed and cut it off early... and that's how it ended up looking!

casca-x In reply to Kaljaia [2009-05-25 23:56:21 +0000 UTC]

Oh. Heh, didn't even notice that. I figured the entire point was to mix good and evil, not seperate them.
