Description
Every piece of art has a story behind it, a story which adds a different kind of allurement to it. Such is my story behind this piece as well.
But....for now just enjoy my art.
Though I must add that I am particularly proud of the highlights/lighting here which were painstakingly painted with the mouse.
Special credit and thanks to Leticia LadyEvilArts under whose guidance and support I was able to finish this piece in time. The idea for this art was derived from her imagination, I had a different vision for using this window stock, she just showed me a better and more beautiful one.
Thank you my dear Leticia, for everything. I give the whole credit for the success of this art to you.

The amount of details is insane !
colors on point !
lightning is perfect !
the retouch on her skin is excellent !
the fantasy effect is great !
the dust on for ground match the light direction !
the blue & yellow tones are matching perfectly and i like how you added the black color to make it even better !
the bats are good bonus but i think you just need to add some motion blur on them !
the rim light with white glitter is catchy i see what you did there !
you knew how to chose the right stocks for this work !
i love everything about it !

Naouri, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and insight into this piece, I am so glad for you to point me out how I could've bettered the movement of bats in the scene. Really appreciate you taking the time to post a critique on this art, I loved hearing from you.

Beautiful and very stylish. I like your take on this classic character and its representation as a woman. I can clearly see a lot of emotions going on here, sadness, among others, but at the same time impassivity and emotionlessness... and I think revenge is just around the corner. It's like the silence before the storm.

Thank you Krystian, as always it is so nice reading your feedback and interpretation of my art.
I loved the way you have described this piece, like wanting to say it's an 'emotionless sadness'.
Most greatly appreciated and am glad you loved it. Thank you very much once again!

I doubt you thought about me when writing "But....for now just enjoy my art." lol. I will not only enjoy your art but try to figure it out haha. I never read or seen the story 'The Count of Monte Cristo' but I'm assuming it is some representation of it by the title. I will just tell you what I see when looking at your words through art.
When I see this piece I see two things.. The power of having a facade / keeping others at a distance and the lonliness that brings. The whole scene you have constructed leaves so much room for the imagination to play. BUT, that's what I see. Much less than I usually say but.. I needed to say something since I've had this piece open for the last 11 hours in my browser and kept looking back at it.
I do have to compliment you on the lighting work. If anyone that knows me here they know that lighting is one of the things that grabs my attention like nothing else other than an emotion through art. That blue / cool tone on top of that "AMBER" dusk lighting has simply left me amazed and wordless.. I think you've outdone yourself here Amber. In my personal opinion you have an eye / talent to capture emotions without a voice if that makes sense.
EDIT: Can I just say I want this ? Lol. I love it!!

Are you an art 'Spy-culator' lol? Because I think the amount of effort you put into reading my art fascinates and delights me so much that I am wondering to stop including any story in any future art of mine, just so I can see you toying with the meaning behind it and giving it out aloud.
To be honest I really couldn't think of any title for this one and seeing how there was a sense of mysterious allure around this lady I titled it as such....so in a way yes it is some slight resemblance to that only if it's because of the mysteriousness lol.
But I really loved the way you removed this art from it's title and gave it an entirely different meaning and feel to it with your powerfully alluring words. I loved how you read my artworks.
I will take all the compliments on the lighting as much as you give me or anyone because it was a very tireless and painful effort painting it with the mouse of which I must admit I'm so proud of.
But "AMBER" dusk....wow that left me
I loved that Kay, so much.
Thank you for all your beautiful comments which always leaves me speechless and for something which I feel a "thank you" is just not enough. Can I just say that you really have an eye...two eyes as often as you can spare them 
Of course you may have this but I'm gonna charge an exorbitant fees from you for it (you are very rich, I heard someone saying!

Lol some of the things you come up with XD.
Hey who knows maybe one day you will just do that to get a reaction from me.
You know either way if it grabs my attention it will be something I will sit silently beside
and maybe after saying what meaning I see or feel 
Fair point on the title haha.
Only praises will be given to you for this. You gave all of DA the opportunity to enjoy
and visually stimulate ones mind with your art. You're not going to win this time lol
Good, good! You should be very proud of the work you have done on not only the art
but it's accent of 'AMBER' dusk lighting 
comes out and you can see they never would have came along without that beautiful lighting hehe.
As much as I would like to accept that thanks and kind words. You won't turn this one
on me this time haha. You are the one that who has struggled, spent countless hours
and created a scence for one to try and grasp in anyway they possibly connect to it.
Oh I didn't expect any less for you to go and charge me an exponential fee. That is just
how evil you are lol. I need to find out who your source may be..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aha you read my mind there!
I let you win because I've become tired of winning all the time against you, so even a loss against you is sweet now for me!
Beautifully and cleverly said, Kay!! That 'Amber' dusk lighting will always be one of my favourite compliment from you.
I might've been the one who struggled and worked hard but it takes someone with a keen observation and lots of kindness in his heart to notice all of it in a completed piece without having even a tiny bit of knowledge of what happened 'behind-the-scene'.
You have seen through my struggles and turned my hard work into a masterpiece with your beautiful sky-high praises Kay....how's that? Did I succeed in making it all about you this time too?
Haha 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah we will see how well that one works out for you XD
Oh how do you know it's not me that was letting you win all this time? LOL
Hehe, well you made that one easy for me to say without even having to think of it
Yes you did succeed on doing what you always do with the slight change of dancing words
that make me forget what I'm trying to do *shakesfist*...
I am honestly wordless as what to say here. 
Dr. Evil porkchop?
Yeah now I have to keep an eye out to make sure I don't get any of what you're plotting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's gonna work don't worry. I am setting in place a masterplan.
I don't need to know that Kay, because it's just enough what I already know!
Haha, dancing words? Where do you find all this 'starry vocabulary'?
If that's the first time, then how about meatchop?
Better keep 'two eyes' out because you never know what's gonna come ahead.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The plotting is happening now.
Lol, who knows I just say what it is at that time XD.
Yep first to hear meatchop too. Now this is getting awkward. Lol
I can only use one eye for you the other has to stay for everything else that's coming at me lol

Haha, that should have been muttonchop lol...if you still didn't get it, it will certify that you are a product of Mars.

Lol, I will just go with I'm from Mars.
