A Bandaid

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Nov 6, 2004)

I heard that xwindflyer had surgery and isn't feeling well. This is the prettiest bandaid I could find... it's actually the name of this flower. Hope you feel better soon, xwindflyer.

This could make anyone feel better Cindy, very pretty flowers.

xwindflyer (Nov 15, 2004)

Thankyou DBA, this is the best bandaid I ever had. This is so beautiful, I can almost smell the fragrance. I'm doing ok now, but it is hard doing thingsonly with your left hand, when your right handed. lol

Anna (Nov 15, 2004)

I'm glad you're feeling better now!

How did I miss this looking though your gallery? I must have just skimmed through that year. Well I'm glad buffdude found it and brought it out for everyone to see. You did nail him and did a wonderful job capturing that mans beautiful good looks. Man he was gorgeous. No wonder so many women loved him.

Thank you baby doll :).

Aubrey (Nov 5, 2004)

I agree, the openess of the sky is really great, you did a great job cementing the ground and silhouette and leaving the feeling of air everywhere else. Very cool.

sincity (Nov 7, 2004)

WooHoo! I ussually not partial to many western pics, don't know why, but the colors are really great, good pic.

I like your technique.

Turtlebuster (Nov 3, 2004)

reminds me of a manikin (sp?) in a sear's add. sweet contrast.

why would a clothing store use a manikin (sp!) to model clothes? save cost on a person? weird.

Kloxboy (Nov 4, 2004)

Great work, it's so expressive. Great use of color, love it.

sincity (Nov 7, 2004)

Well clox took the words right out of me mouth, so I'll just let him say it instead of repeating them.

Shinya

Edward (Oct 16, 2004)

Shinya from Dir En Grey

edit: Alrighty.....I really can't stand looking at this picture in my pile of unfinished work. And I really don't feel as if I can finish it either. It does not really remind me of Shinya at all, his face just looks completely different from what I was trying to get off my reference saved in my computer. I am sorry for anyone who wanted to see this done but I am not going to finish it unless someone can really convince me to do so.

practice on the hair shining :-*

bumpinthenight (Nov 1, 2004)

wellllllll...... if a)its hair aint that shiney or b) the light is low, then there wont be that much of a shine... I was trying to focus on a light source that comes from the front... :P or something... I dunno... I'll add some more shine :) XD

Anna (edited Nov 2, 2004)

Well, portraits aren't my cup of tea. It's something that I am working on. However, I think you need more contrast. Your darks aren't quite dark enough. Same goes with the lights. As for the hair, you may want to try softening up the strokes for the strands. It looks a bit harsh. Try doin' the entire shape of the hair a darker base color and then with lighter colors highlighting some parts to give it a more realistic feel. But definitely use thin strands and lower the opacity more.

Edit: Oh and one more thing. You might want to detail/sharpen it some, rather than the slightly blurry feel that it has right now. For example the lips, eyes, etc.

bumpinthenight (Nov 3, 2004)

thanks anna :D I'll try to do all that.... :D:D XD now I have to ask a mod for more space -_-;; ^^ :P woot...

I wondered if anyone would notice that.... ;) Didn't think it was necessary, I mean, they are my eyes. :)

Aubrey (Nov 5, 2004)

The eyes ARE the signature, and they're really purdy Cindy :)

HunterKiller_ (Nov 6, 2004)
