Description
felt like making a personal digital painting again after all of the commissions! :] exaggerated proportions are intentional.edit - someone pointed out in the comments that this piece looks a lot like eric fortune's beautiful piece 'beyond the past' - www.ericfortune.com/plugins/p2… . this is no coincidence, i am hugely inspired by his work and that piece in particular! i didn't credit him or this specific piece in the original description, because i didn't realize the similarity until someone pointed it out. i then edited my description to say "very influenced by the wonderful and dream-like work of eric fortune" but i'm now updating with the link to the specific piece included - please check out eric fortune's work, it's amazing! www.ericfortune.com/
worked on this on and off over the course of three weeks.. probably spent a good 15 hours doing it. drawn in photoshop CS3 with an intuos3 tablet. textures from cgtextures.com , tips on how to use textures can be found here - kitton.deviantart.com/art/tips… and for other tips check out my f.a.q - loish.deviantart.com/journal/6…

oh! I've read your FAQ before, but never really clicked all the Really Useful links.
I've never used the flow down as low as 5%, I'll have to give it a go. I have a pretty good color sense, but your blendy and lighting is awesome.

The way you've done the hair in this one is really interesting - they almost reflect the texture of the ribbons flowing behind her. :>
Your art is so inspiring! It makes me want to practice and practice!! <333

Love your tonal work. The colours are excellent but the detail in the light is just inspiring
Thanks for sharing.

trouble letting go or trouble getting away - she seems enmeshed in the ribbons not clutching them
12 pages of comments can't be wrong - colors are very nice , the lighting is excellent , the form flows and the girl is beautiful
somewhere in all the comments there was a discussion of this being an evolution in your style - to me it looks like a perfection of it in image and an evolution in abstracting an idea or emotion and expressing it in the figure . or something
anyway , as so many have said this is very very nice
