Description Another promised portrait that has taken me awhile to finish. The very lovely whose mysterious essence just drove me to want to paint her.

For reference you can find the original photo in ~empatia 's gallery of beautiful photography and artwork. And if I'm very lucky she will let me paint her again.

Painting and airbrushing, photomanipulation and the final result. Actually there are a couple of details I may add to this piece, so it may not be the last you see of I See Red.

I love your draws

about this draw well... I allways loved big eyes on girls, expetially if they have beautifull eyes like those

And the gothic spirit of the girl... well I REALLY LIKE IT XD

( it could be that you didn't want to transmit the gothic "spirit" in the draw but I saw that way ;D )

Hi There!
You have just earned yourself an O.D.D. feature ! congrats!
ODDS (oibyrd's daily deviations) are to honor the sometimes overlooked artists of dA that I personally think deserve some exposure (and ALSO, to show off people who I think are undeniably talented in their own genre of art, REGARDLESS of their #'s of fav's or pageviews. I like what I like and sometimes artwork isn't featured in the regular DDs because it's popular all on it's own It's a shame, but the admins are only trying to be fair! ). Please click the link below to see your work featured and to view other featured artists . If you prefer not to be a featured artist, just send me a note and I will remove you from the list. Cheers! Sandi xoxo !

I was just commenting on how the piece's name ("I See Red") doesn't express the actual piece's color.

I got kicked out yesterday by =flordelys . After =Elandria helped me get back my membership. Therefore, I have no further desire to be in the *DesigningDivas until they explain to me EXACTLY why she kicked me out in the first place, when Elandria was kind enough to transfering the one from my old account to my new one.

To this end, I forwarded my reply to both admins involved---=flordelys ---who kicked me out----and :devEnandria:---who got me the membership.

I wish someone would tell me if my requests are being ignored. I'm literally becoming psychotic because of it.

I'm sure your requests are not being ignored. I am only a part time Administrator for Designing Diva's now, so I can't say with certainty what has happened in this situation. But I'm sure you will be answered by one or the other or both - they are very very good about these sorts of things.

As for the title of the Piece, whether it expressed color to you or not is somewhat irrelivant. Each artist has the right to name a piece of artwork whatever they chose. I could call it I See Blue or I See Stars and its not about the name, its about the art. But that is just my opinion of course and everyone has the right to their own opinion.

I wish you the best getting your situation resolved with Designing Diva's and that a successful resolution is reached by everyone involved.

I oficially got kicked out. I won't comment on another piece in this club, but I will keep the two friends I've made. Maybe I'll go join a similar club I've stumbled upon previous to the DD---the =improvement-movement .

it`s fantastic, I love it!
Thanks for giving attention on me and my gallery, it means a lot for me.
but I have just one question- why it is called "i see red"?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MiaLuyando In reply to empatia [2006-05-22 15:33:38 +0000 UTC]

I'm so glad you love it! And I called it I See Red because it was the only color I added to the saturation.

MiaLuyando In reply to empatia [2006-05-22 16:21:43 +0000 UTC]

well yes I suppose so. Its getting some pretty rave reviews, so I don't think I'll change the title if its ok with you.

I love your quote by the way.

don`t you know the goth band marilyn manson??
it`s really ..strange
[link] - here`s their official site, so you can have a look at them
i`m sure you know some of their songs and you just have no idea that it is marilyn manson`s.
my quote is from the brilliant (and controversive) song named "(S)Aint" and this is it.

MiaLuyando In reply to empatia [2006-05-22 23:38:40 +0000 UTC]

OH your quote is Marilyn Manson. I thought "I See Red" was something about Marilyn Manson. Yes of course I've heard of him and seen photos of him and his group, but have not heard much of his music. Still a very cool quote!
