Adam: What are your qualifications?
Betelgeuse: Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?

Saw the image, thought of Wynona Ryder.. in turn thought of Lydia.. which lead to the movie Beetlejuice..hehehehe.. GREAT JOB.. love IT

Thank you! And I'm sooo happy that your train of thought took you there! I loved her in that movie!
Not to mention I just loved the movie entirely....and thanks for the fav

An inspired piece, maybe? Haha, fantastic work.. lovely style and just morbidly gorgeous.

Oh yeah!!!! Killer job! I like the different eyes big time. And the blue hair is to die for, nice job on the tones as well. Way to set the bar Author! You inspired me today. Im pretty sure I got some paintbrushes around here.......

AH!!!!!


THIS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!



An excellent start to this contest.

And I kind of figured it was you. your style definitely has a signature. This is nothing that can be controlled. However, I am so glad you are painting more. I can hardly wait to see what you enter next.

Oh, and Rob would be proud

Thanks so much everyone! One of the best parts of painting is hearing anothers thoughts on the painting. And its so rewarding to be graced with thoughts like these I am so honored by your reactions and the favs already. :blush:

Gimme a B! Gimme an A! Gimme a B! Gimme a Y! Whats that spell? WHATS THAT SPELL?????

After going through all these entry's I think I feel OLD !! don't recognize any of these songs , lol , I also gave up music when my ears quit working about 15 years ago.

Face and mouth area remind me of a modern Picasso of a sort.

Well congrats on your 1st place win my friend!!!!! Way to go. Awesome as usual.

Congrats Jade awesome work

AWESOMENESS!!! Conclusion......Jaded Ink has style and it is a winning one at that!

wow guys.
i mean really. i was away from the site all day yesterday and to come on today to this!!!!

thanks so much

Congratulations Jade!

Awesome! GL!

I hate copying people! Its much more fun to just make them up!

But you make the portrait with your own style!!! It's got your signature style all over it!

I agree with Jaw about your own style...And your friend is lucky man because he can leave his own style on this hot lady...

you do have quite the style don't you. i really like the way you did the flesh tones on this one...the tummy particularly. her naval area is AWESOME.
the nose is the only thing that seems a bit offish on this and...honestly i HATE doing noses. and hands/fingers. feet too. :P okay, anyway....i like this...she's got charisma. and the green you chose for her eyes is awesome

I agree with Jaws, it's got your style all over it. Great job!!

THANK YOU!

LOVE IT!

nicely drawn.....could be better if the background was more contrasting....GL author

I think i agree a bit with animany0000 But the Image itself is stunning! GL!

Thank you! You were right animany. I swapped the floor and the wall, added a baseboard and darkened the girl a little bit and it does look much better.

What a fabulous entry author...Perfect drawings with so lovely mood...Well done

How Adorable!!!! This is such a sweet job!

Excellent details, shapes and colors! GL!

Very nice work! I especially like the bottom of the dress, the way the light is coming through it look great!!

Looks great.... good luck.

very nice...best of luck

Her nose looks misplaced too far over to the side, her hands are too small, and part of her thigh isn't colored at all.
The basic sketch is cute, but the uneven coloring brings it down a bit.

Nice one.
