nice mood

Pretty cool. I like it a lot - but wouldn't there be reflections in the water for the eyes?

super cool moody work...gl author

Hello everyone, thanks a lot for your wonderful comments and its really good to know that you like my work.

I want to improve my skills as an artist so please give your honest feedback! Don’t worry about hurting my feelings

@ kyricom: In high resolution you can see the reflection.

Beautiful image and a good use of the source!

this is nice!

That's it! You know that theory that when we manipulate a photo we're trying to make it look like it should have been from the start? That's it, this is how it should have looked.

An absolutely BRILLIANT use of a terrible source. Fantastic work, author

IMO the bottom cross is redundant and distracting, however, you've made a great image here nevertheless. GL author!

I love the mood you created in this image

Ah, c'est Renée, en francais.
Great idea, nice touch with the wing made of fingers.
The first thing we learn in statue tutorials is to remove the eyes(iris), i think you should try it since you aimed to make a sculpture ( right?)
The pedestal should at least have some shadows to look like it's round, the way you made that pole.
There's a discontinuity from the shadowcast and the edge of the foreground. Just make the shadow on the wall continuosly at the bottom.
That little baby turned out well.

Hey thank you for the comment! I was going for statue, and knew that the eyes needed to be blank to complete that look, but I like it with the eyes. I may play around with it without the eyes and if it turns out cool I'll turn that in. As for the pedestal, I wanted it to be square, the pole is coming from the center of the squares. I will, however change the shadow, I noticed that as well, but I thought the black border would have taken away from that...guess I was wrong hehe.

Anyway thank you again for the suggestions, but I will have to say I like my final piece as is (except the shadow).

UPDATE: I changed the shadow, and decided to do the "statue eyes" because I thought it came out pretty well, although I like the old version too. More comments are welcome

I think this is outstanting , so creative. As well I love the wing, how cool is that!!!

Didn't see the original, but this is excellent. Great job.......gl

Thank you so much! I came up with the wing idea while I was making the bust. I was stuck on what to do after I got the heads done, and for some reason the idea of making a wing out of my hands just popped up (I get those crazy ideas from time to time). I'm glad you guys like it

very nice work author...gl
