Please fullview for details! :-)


I really don't know where I should begin to introduce "LIFE". First I would say that I have been working on it for about three weeks, it was very long to achieve because of the original gigantic size of the image (~3000x3600 I think), and I really wanted that each parcel of this image looks good. I was extremely demanding with myself this time, much more than anythime before. I wanted to use my graphic tablet as much as possible, and I painted about 65% of this image, especially the branches, hair, dress and skin. This was very long to do, and I must confess that sometimes I was really bored. However, I never intended to let it down, and kept on working on it, little by little. So maybe the picture I have just submitted looks a bit small and maybe its quality isn't that good: I just lowered the resolution from 300dpi to 72 dpi, and added two watermarks - the one you can read, at the bottom right corner, and another one, an invisible one, provided by a good tutorial by ~watermarks (that I encourage you reading in order to protect your own digital pictures). But I'm happy I didn't have to add a giant watermark in the middle of the picture, it would have sadden me too much. And now you can properly watch it, and comment it. I would love to read your comments, please keep in mind that I'm still a beginner at painting and photomanipulation, so I need loads of advices. :-)

Please note that the print version will NOT have any pattern, watermark, or additional text over the picture. All my prints are made from high resolution files (300dpi) and printed on high quality paper. If you buy the print, be sure to have an excellent quality image in a very large size (depending on the size you purchase). Thank you in advance for buying any of my prints, and supporting my work! :heart:




Model is the gorgeous ~UntamedWings :rose:

Oh, finally a new work from you - and wha a georgeous one ;) I love the whole meaning behind it, you captured great the topc "Life" in it, it looks like this is the centre of life or somthing! Also perfectly manipulated and very nice painted parts :nod: I also live her dress, did you paint it, too? Also her many arms are a nice idea :clap: I think I could wrie pages, but I think that's enough lol.

great work that deserves a :+favlove: for sure!

ps: only thing I noticed: Is it intention that the forest-pic is blended into the dress? (on the left side at the bottom) it loks a bit like it's not finished there :blush: bu it's only a detail :nod:

:jawdrop: I'm speechless... Sorry to make a typical statement but it's beautiful. Nature and a human figure blending into one. An amazing idea that pours with femininity and grace. This is one of the best images from your gallery, if not your best. I like how it has some abstract elements to it. And to think you felt blank, this is one of the most inspired images I've seen in a long time. The women, trees, branches, stone columns and arches, composition and colour everything looks perfect. I don't understand how you could ask for advanced critique with such a breathtaking image. I would never have though you were a beginner. You have me very excited about this. Obviously a fav, and wish list addition if you were to choose to have it available for print (I really hope you do). Just gorgeous. Once again I bow down to your talent.

This looks so good Kreestal!
I love ~UntamedWings too,
I'm just speechless
I don't have the abilities to buy a print,
but now I'm going to ask my mum for buying this one maybe
The irony is that I have made the same stock just with multiple arms too
but yours is definatly much better
kreestal, you are a godess
