Description Can you believe it?
I am actually working on the spring version of my Season project.
Might be ages until I finish it - quite a few things that bother me - A LOT - but I needed a change from the guys I painted lately and from the other commissions I am working on..

Wanna know some of the ideas behind this?

Well her dress for once should resemble a caterpiller a tiny bit - and also the dynamic parts of her dress act both as wings and flower petals (well that is what I would like to try..it is all still pretty rough).
More ideas I am toying with but I they are not obvious yet.

Made a sketch in photoshop and am coloring as always in PS 7 at the moment..

I am close to finishing this and guess what - I just can't get the freaking hands right >_<
5 minutes ago I was swearing to myself for chosing that position..

Her face seems more serene than the last time I looked at her, or is it my imagination. Anyway, lovely.

Wow!! itΒ΄s very good!! I only have problems with the colors, purple is very "dark" to spring, it need to be a little brighter...I donΒ΄t know, I think you can put some yellows and oranges to contrast and give some light.
I love purple hihihi but I donΒ΄t associate it so much with spring. Purple is a misterious color and Spring has that feeling that everything is showing up.

Sorry for my baaad inglish.

Ooh pretty. Is the white thing at the bottom supposed to signify snow/ice etc, than "transforming" into spring?

Kyena In reply to peachysticks [2005-07-28 16:24:56 +0000 UTC]

exactly!! I am still not sure if I leave it there (well it is still pretty rough) specially since i was not sure at all if people would get the idea..thanks, that made my day L (and I know she is still leaning a bit towards the left..I correct that on the go)

pldr [2005-07-27 19:24:34 +0000 UTC]

I do like the pose although it seems like she has a bit of an ache in her back. I love the colours and especially the composition (on purpose or not, I looks like she comes out of a flower, spring, beautyfull). One question though. One half of her dress seems to be more transparent than the other. Intentional?

Kyena In reply to pldr [2005-07-28 16:27:22 +0000 UTC]

This is far from finished (thus it is in the scrap section ) She leans a bit too much to the left right now and yes it was intentional to have her somehow come out of a calla iris (I think that is the term for the flower). The second part of the flowing parts of her dress will also be transparent but like I said..this is far from done (except the upper part of the painting and her face..which I am currently working on detailing)

Each new piece in the series is more brilliant than the previous...this is stunning! The pose suits the idea of spring well- open, blooming, welcoming! I can't wait for the finished product. (Let's hope you don't get stuck like you did with the Winter piece )

hehe, looking good so far kyena. She does seem to have a slightly sloping lean, but i think that crit has been given already. It's always a good feeling to be well into the journey of creating a piece of art. Nice

I like the purples. Most people wouldn't associate a cold color like purple with spring, but it reminds me of the pretty flowers that grow in my yard around spring and summer. I think she looks beautiful. I really like the motion of her dress

Was mir nur auffΓ€llt, ist dieses... Lila-Sein... FrΓΌhling wird meistens in allen mΓΆglichen PastelltΓΆnen von grΓΌn bis pink dargestellt, aber alles lila? Is mal was anderes!
Wirkt dadurch nur etwas dunkel, hΓ€tte nicht gedacht, dass es der FrΓΌhling sein soll... aber sonst: SchΓΆn! ^____________^

I like the strength and generosity with which she is giving us all the life of spring after "Winter's laboring pain." Is that the reason for her grimace? Is she literally giving birth? , of course.

Not to jog your elbow too much while you're juggling paintings, but, and this may just be me, pain seems to be creeping into her expression. Is this intentional?

looking VERY nice :]


only thing I'm not liking is her jaw.. it looks a bit too big, especially on the right (her left) side.

I really love the colours, and her cloths.. also her outstretched hands look very nice.
