Can't place a finger on why I like this so much. It does have a dreamy underwater effect...perhaps almost like the way one of the elite rooms on the Titanic might have looked right after the sinking. Nice job author!

I hate that you do hair so well and demand a one to one lesson! great image author!

Anytime my friend. Once you have the trick it is not too bad, just time and patience and it doesn't hurt to have a tablet

nice nice nice

favourite entry

and the minute i saw this image, i knew ... you've done a LOVELY job. such a touching piece of work. and hey, when you teach geex, will you promise to teach me too???

Excellent command of the fantasy genre.. every image you make makes me think of fairy tales and story books.

Edit: My only suggestion would be to make the model's shadow a little lighter, it seems very dark at the moment (or maybe blur it more?) If not i'd darken up the shadow the horse is casting.

@ Ponti - Thank you for the critique. I was really unsure how dark to make her shadow and was hoping someone would comment. I have made some changes - lightened the models shadow and darkened the horse a bit. I think it looks better now. Thanks for the help, your comment was very much appreciated

I realize this is surrealism, so all bets are off, but the figure doesn't match the scale of the horse. All else is well done!

Thanks CMYK
I did check here http://figure-drawings.com/How-to-Draw-Proportions-3.html, as she is curled up I based the proportions on the size of her head (within reason as it is a fantasy/surreal image as you noted). I added a step to the SBS to show what I did ...Check it out and let me know what you think?

Look at images (photos) of horse and riders...the woman is just too small.

good work.

Would love to see this in really large scale. Nice job!

This is amazing entry author,really really amazing...and black and white mood is perfect for this...your details are perfect...love the lucid feel of movement on horse tail and mane...And as for the size of the horse and the model...don't worry author...this is the Nahar horse of the Valar god Oromë and he is huge...on his back is Arien the maiden whom the Valar chose from among the Maiar to guide the vessel of the Sun...through clouds and sky Nahar take Arien to the Sun...so for that quest horse have to be huge...

erathion: If there was a super, double gold thumbs up it would be yours! What a wonderful story! I had forgotten about Nahar (LOTR... right?) Thank you so much for sharing your vision of my vision (I will have to steal the story for future use)!

wow ...... wonderful imagination..... really a dream work ...... all the best to u author .......

A whole story in a picture.. Love it, great execution, amazing hair. I thought the size of the horse's back was to big, but it didn't bother me one bit, it fits the purpose of this image very well.. I even think when the horse was the "right" size it would have not looked as surreal as it did and did not have the ability to mesmerize, what it sure does now.. Great work author and good luck!

congratulations...

Congrats!!

congrats for the 2nd place, beautiful job...

wow cool

In her tutorial, madalina had some compositional tricks that she did not explain:

- those branches, create some sort of dynamic frame;
-the moon covered by the wing is the first checkpoint- it's not random that you find it in the lower 3rd of the image.
-pigeon has orange, to make a chromatic contrast, etc,etc.

The right half of your image is unatractive- compositionaly speaking, therefor i think that if you would crop it in half and keep only the left side, i would look so much cool.
Rotate that lightning strike 45 degrees.
You could also add a bit of orange on the pigeon.

Try it, and if it doesn't look better, never listen to me again

agrees with grey

thank you Greymval....made changes...thank you

It looks beautiful.

The image looks badly composed, although it has improved by adding color to the bird.

When you adapted the tutorial to include the house, you changed the overall composition.

The branches in the tutorial "framed" the focal point (the colored bird). Your house, with parts of another house on the side, throw the focus off the bird, and visually "weigh down" the image at the bottom. I would suggest eliminating the house(s) entirely.

thanks Mossy...this is my very old work done in 2009 ... thanks for ur comments.. i have the other version too with the same background also...i thought it would be too similar....i will add it in my sbs..

I have made changes again....thanks for the suggestions all...and thanks to locale for his suggestions on my entry..

very nice

Ooooo, great improvement The bird resembles a little bad angel

Very nice piece author...gl

author,....I found "your" image long time ago here http://www.neosurrealismart.com/modern-art-prints/?artworks/the-way-out-or-suicidal-ideation.html

Clearly copyrighted, good sleuthing, dekwid!

nice image

I'm confused...has this image been changed? dewkid says this image is a copy but the link he posted does not look like this image except for the stone arch theme but even the stones are different. The 3 sources are easily identifiable in this piece.
Was a correction or new chop put in place of another?
At this point I see no copyright issues here.

@ Silver surfer...yes the image has been changed after Dekwid pointed out....anyways...nice work author

Would love to see a high res version ... it looks good but very hard to tell with small image. You will probably get a better score if you can upload a High res.

>silversurfer,....yes this pic has been changed, formerly the author just used the pic mentioned at the site and the author said that the pic was his own pic, and I am sure the mods noticed it and warned the author to replace it with the other pics as you could see it now.....

I'm so confused

hey what is this...
