Congrats on 1st, great work

Love this one!

Nice work

Good looking painting.

Interesting, but her necklace is off center to the rest of the image (her face and shirt).
Anatomically, her nose is a bit too long, with the tip too close to the lips and her eyes are too almond shaped (not the eyelids, but the eyeball beneath) - That can be adjusted with a wee bit more shading on the outer edges of the eyeballs, to give them a more spherical shape within the eye sockets.

Really excellent values on the shirt, and the hair is very well done!

Thanks, Mossyb.., i agree with the eyes.., and updated it. But if you have a closer look, you can see that the necklace is centered with the nose line, it is the shirt which is not centered with the face, and that makes the illusion according to your comment.. i placed the tip of the nose at center from chin to eyes (3/4 of the face) . And i can see it is the lips, that are a ittle away from the chin. More than 1/5. But, for this image it looks ok. (to me atleast.) i do had placed the lips a little downward. But that distracted the expressive look of the girl. so i am leaving it as it is.. Thanks again for your great comment...

And i found the problem of nose. It was some shading steokes that were on the right edge of the nose... Updated that too... Thanks again

This is just really well done. Rather eye candy to me. The only little suggestion I have is see if you might be able to put some definition on the center area of her nose. Right now to me it gets lost. Perhaps shade the right side just slightly darker from the middle of her nose to the right. I'm only suggesting this because I really like this and think it might help.

EDIT: Looks

wow wonderful job, u done it beautifully,skin tone,dress necklace everything is great .but i agree with kid about the shading on the sides of her nose.The shading on her shirt is great, some detailed explanation about the lighting and shading will be helpful to us(mean a tutorial). All the best to you author , you are talented high marks and fav from me

Nose updated.., thank you pixelkid

Great drawing skills author...her eyes are amazing...well done

wow beautiful work.... most detailed sbs!!! i am also impressed!! I have to try this one as i always want to learn portraits and hope u convert this into tutorial too!!

ofcourse nisha, you can see this as a tutorial this month..

thanks author

Very nice beautiful job!

One of the best SBS I've seen! = )

WOW...I agree with Emik...nice SBS...Spectacular Work author!

you are one of the real masters here,....instant fav this time and times to come for sure....:bow2b)

I'm having an annabat flash back.. LOL.. great job

Bravo on a wonderful painting and your SBS is incredible. Overall amazing job! A few things that I noticed in Hi Res ...IMO I do find the eyes a little too "symmetrical". Making them slightly different from each other would give the face more character ... also I think the eyes would benefit from tear ducts, inner lids (the part the eyelashes grow out of) and lower eyelashes. These are all very minor things, the image is truly lovely and has a style all it's own! High marks and definite fav!!!

just...WoW

Fantastic ! I'll fav this for reference down the road. GL
JB

marvelous ......... really beautiful entry ..............

very nice machaaa!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful work, author.

Ditto Nisha, waiting forward to seeing your new tut!

Congrats on 2nd place, Anoop. Wow, this was a close contest.

well done.

Congratulations! Very close ... it is hard to compete with cute little creatures but you came soooo close!

Congrats!!

congratulation...

congrats

Congrats, keep working

Too much "dead space" at the top. You could crop off 1/3 and have a much better composition...

i agree with MossyB, never the less the image is beautiful, you have my vote

I agree with MossyB about "dead space", but NOTHING takes away the merit of your work, which in my view is fantastic! Fav!

I think if you like it that way don't change it :P

Fabulous piece of work author...great mood,cool effects and amazing final result...Instant fav from me...best of luck

I'm not into the idea of telling you to crop out the black space at the top. If you like it and it's part of the 'mood' then leave it. If you were unaware of it...then crop it and you'll have a tighter composition.

Author did you contact the author on DA about your model image? It is one of the requests the author asks from you to use the image....Awesome work and Best of Luck

Christy:
No. From what I saw, the author asked only to warn you if you want the image in high resolution. Thank you and sorry for my bad English. =]

Stunning image, lovely work!

Author ... this info will hopefully help you out ... the Stock states (caps are not mine, I am quoting his site) "OUTSIDE REPOSTING OF YOUR FINISHED ARTWORK TO YOUR BLOG | PERSONAL WEBSITE | OTHER FORUM | OTHER GALLERY IS ACCEPTABLE, AS LONG AS FULL CREDIT IS GIVEN"

Full Credit would mean, perhaps, mentioning the Stock providers name ... as a courtesy it is nice to put that in as well as a link ... it is Aegean-Prince at deviantArt ... not a big deal, just a courtesy ...

He also states that you "BE A DEVIANT ART MEMBER ! (WITH UPLOADED DEVIATION'S TO YOUR PROFILE)". This is a little trickier as it is hard to prove. One way to avoid such problems with stock providers and acceptable images is to get advance permission and include a screen print of that in your SBS.

The link to his rules is here http://aegean-prince.deviantart.com/journal/13925858/ ... not just what he states on the image home page.

Just another thought, your work is so nice it would be wonderful to see it in High Res ... even 900px wide would be good ... hope you can get something larger up as I think it would improve your final score

Makes me think of David Bowie in the Labrynth ohhh god i love him lol

Great work author

Nice beak

Congrats on third place. I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work!

Congratulations! Stunning work!

Congrats!!

congratulation...

Wonderful work, like something you would see in a movie.

thank you!

VERY NICE! Love the intensity of this and the selective color is awesome!

yes,...I am a movie freak,...I think I am with emik on this.....

Fantastic piece of work author...very nice effective work...best of luck

Very nice work, great effect

great image author, i love selective colour works goodluck

Nice touch of surrealism here.

omg. just like a movie. really good !

thank you everyone for the wonderful comments. this took me an hour or so to accomplish. i greatly appreciate it

Lovely final image and your colour combination is superb! There are a couple of lines that are quite noticeable in High Res (think you may have missed them when blending ... (like, who hasn't done that ) ...they are at the base of the far booth ... it is an excellent image but if you ever want to print it they would stand out and I think spoil the overall excellence of piece.

i see the lines arca im gonna correct them now

nice...GL
JB

Looks apocalyptic

nice job glamgirl

beau travail ,bonne chance

Un peu creepy, mais jolie
I believe the idea is that she captures the landscape in her mind.
Man, that's a brave concept and I don't know how i would have done it better, except for Not using the plastic wrap & other filters on her face.
I would also make the composition so that her eye is at 1/3rd of the image and not right in the center.
Add an overlay on the background to enhance colors and desaturate just a bit (maybe also blur) the image in her head! After-all memories are not clear, you can't remember all the details of an image unless you're an autistic.
C'est ton choix de suivre ou non mes suggestions; ci oui et quelque chose n'est pas clair dis-moi.

Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec tes remarques, surtout en ce qui concerne le filtre plastic sur son visage.
Je pense que je vais reprendre cette photo à zero et essayer de l'embellir un peu...
merci pour tes conseils greymval.

I've changed the picture hope you like it !

Well i think it's way better, and I really like it! Now, maybe you should hear other comments too, cause i don't wanna influence your design too much. The composition has improved now, and it's creepy no more

Fantastic,imaginative,effective, surreal...well done author...instant fav from me...best of luck

i think it was better before, it looked like some kind of perception(not memories) and was more original.

Lovely surreal image ... it is nice to see an image that is surreal and not "dark" ... good for you for succeeding so well!
