I find this very beautiful. The surface is nice. And lips and eyes are so lovelily golden. And this looks a bit like Giger-esque.

supremextreme [2005-01-25 21:53:55 +0000 UTC]

isn't it wonderful that with all we've seen and all we've experienced that one can still be so affected by an artist's vision? it is not often that I am taken emotionally with a piece. I love so many paintings, but the heart is a different matter. So, that said, my hat is off to you talented lady. and ;o)

You *PAINTED* this??!?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Viika In reply to iamshe [2004-10-31 09:24:12 +0000 UTC]

the base of the face is a photograph and also the top texture layer is a picture of sand
but for example the gadgets on her face and the skin are painted.

iamshe In reply to Viika [2004-10-31 18:33:47 +0000 UTC]

oh, gotcha. what made you decide to categorize it where you did, rather than under photomanip? Just curious, not suggesting you should move it or anything (I really don't believe I know enough about the various categories to be make solid recommendations for that, yet).

It's still marvelous...lushly detailed. I love the gilt quality to the lips, such shine!

Did you take the photo? (sorry if you've already answered these questions in previous comments, I read the first page and commented before realizing there was more to the thread. Frankly, I was blown away by the image. ).

Viika In reply to iamshe [2004-10-31 19:29:41 +0000 UTC]

i submitted the image when the categories hadn't changed yet. And since it contained all sorts of techniques it wasn't purely photomanipulation and not purely painting either.
I tried to find the picture i used as reference, i found it at sxc.hu (stock exchange)
but if you want to check it out i've uploaded it here-> [link]

iamshe In reply to Viika [2004-10-31 19:48:34 +0000 UTC]

Cool. I'm always in awe of artists who spend such time on their artwork--I'm too impatient for some things...so I'm a digital photographer.

Thanks for the link, I'll go check it out.

I can't really "get" the message behind it, but it seems to have depth

Viika In reply to slatan [2004-05-30 15:02:03 +0000 UTC]

thanks for nice comment, i'm glad you like it

i'm not sure what the actual message is behind the image...
but it all started with the idea of a warrior girl in the far away future who has gotten bored and tired with all that bang bang and kill-kill-kill. The first version had a background with dead bodies and collapsed, destroyed futuristic sky scrapers but i didn't like it so i left only the girl.
Maybe the idea is that there will always be war and a total peace cannot be achieved unless every man and woman gets bored with it.
