thank you kindly for the wonderful and very kind Critique! - this is an oldie from my gallery but it continues to be popular, and it's an old favourite of mine also. I agree with the suggestion you made about the ray of light, I'd not noticed before but it doesn't seem to be consistently on the same plane. - I've been thinking about doing a redeux of this piece for a while now, so maybe that will give me the opportunity to put that right

Thanks again for the crit!

hey thank you very much!
Yeah, lighting can be tricky, I still haven't mastered it but I'm getting there... it just takes LOTS of practice and observation!!

Wow, all of your work is really, very amazing!
I love the colors a lot and how well you've done the light source. That's always been a spot of difficulty for me.

Nice concept too.

hey you! thanks for the lovely comment
yeah lighting can be tricky sometimes, but if you look at it in real life and study how it effects things you can start to understand it a bit better - keep practising and you'll get there

woah. 9 hours in one sitting???? kudos to you, gel. o.O I say. I get bored after about an hour and a half....

The colours are mmmmmmmmm-tastic. I purple. The light is nice too, bouncing off and creating all those loverly shadows. I love how soft the colours are as well. Good enough to eat!

I think the bent leg's thigh could have been a bit thicker, what can I say, I like big butts and I cannot lie etc etc....ehe eheheh.

KatCardy In reply to kique-ass [2006-02-19 15:43:46 +0000 UTC]

nah I think you're right... the legs were problematic on this piece!!
I have to do stuff in one sitting (or two at a maximum) because if I come back to them time and time again I get bored of it and never get it finished... so I just allow myself to get lots in the pieces :] ...that's the only way I ever get anything finished. :]
