Description No, there is no explanation. I've had a slight artist's block for a few weeks now, and got my copy of Exposé 6 a few days ago and looked through it and WHOOSH! Inspiration hit.

I had that particular pose in mind from the beginning, but it was tricky to find or shoot a ref, so I pulled out my dusty copy of Poser 6 and (mis)posed a figure, then threw it into Vue d'Esprit 4 and rendered for reference. The result was absolutely godawful , but it was still better than nothing. After that it took 3 days of scribbling with Painter 9 and Wacom Intuos and there you have it, in all its incomprehensible glory.

In case you're interested, here's a detail shot

May be reposted for as long as my name and preferably also a link to my gallery are provided along with the image in a clear manner. No modifications.


Edit: Whoa, a DD! O.O Thanks a lot, $spinegrinder as well as everyone who viewed/faved/commented!

Amazing work Liiga! Congrats on the DD.

You're render comment made me laugh, as I often feel the same when using Poser.

My brain's on overdrive I don't even know what to think. In the smaller version, I thought it was a real live model and the picture was just edited but on closer examination, I saw that it was all painted and THEN my head imploded. I heart the utter...well, randomness. You've got me at a loss for words.

Funny, in differentiation to the agreeably 'god awful' reference you used, this one reminds me of a satyr muse

It is not often that digital art catches my attention, but the message to this is great! You have found your muse, and I think that can be reflected in the subject being so at ease. She looks as though she is quite fulfilled and confident, which I would imagine you would have felt after ridding yourself of that block of yours.

Really surreal. The landscape reminds me of Dali (my fave artist) and the partly invisible body reminds me of Magritte (my second fave artist)... Favorited !

gustamm [2008-06-01 15:47:12 +0000 UTC]

i really do like it
but when i look at it..i kinda feel emptiness..i dont think its the missing body parts...for some reason, that makes it seems fuller...i think it might be the spacious skies or the look on her fair skin..well its androgenous....so..in the end..its inspirational..in a way to fill in the blanks? haha, i dont know
i love it though

liiga In reply to gustamm [2008-06-01 15:55:40 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! It's probably the environment she's in, because you can see all the way to the horizon, and there's nothing there but flat sand and sky.
