I'm not sure, but I think he probably did less detail on the body because the focus should be on the face, hand, and butterfly. I like it this way. It brings your attention directly to the point of focus.

I didn't say there was anytihng wrong with less detail/focus on the body, I'm just saying it doesn't have the same feeling as the head and hands. you can still keep something out of focus while fitting with the style/level of finish of the rest of the piece. Take his left arm for example.

well that was fun. i just realized i have no good ideas for a background.

davincipoppalag (Feb 22, 2004)

Well I like what you put there.. it gives it a sort of samoan feel... the BG looks like the kind of patterns they have in the south Pacific islands on tapa cloth etc.. I think it worked nicely

hey.. like the bg here!!!

Very realistic but somehow kinda freaky-cause its like a wild boar and its on my screen *runs AHHHHHHHHHHH!*

New Kind of Theme: Copy.

marcello (Feb 4, 2004)

I realize the theme board died a few weeks ago, but in light of recent events, I propose a new theme. This theme will not have a time limit. It will go until people are sick of it or suggest a better theme. The theme for this indefinite amount of time is to: Copy a Photograph So basically, find a photograph online and copy it. You need to include a link to the original image you are copying. (Save a copy in case the original image disappears.) You need to use the 350x35...

Oh my god...
*cries*
I live in the San Fran. bay area CA, right by the delta actually, so i'm used to seeing modern boats whenever i go downtown, but I dont much like them, modern boats that is.
But ships, real ships, the old ones, like what you drew, they bring tears to my eyes. When I was in fifth grade we had an over night field trip to a docked schooner called the CA Thayer, we got to pretend that we were back in the 1600's working on a ship(but without all the bad parts). It was amasing, and I was only on the Galley crew. ^^ I've always wanted to do something like that again, but I settle with just being able to go down to the delta for a day every couple of weeks.

But now I'm moving to the Dallas Texas region, and I'm going to be completely land locked. I get really sad when i think about it too much..

Oh, geez, I'm sorry, I totally rambled on there. It is a WONDERFUL piece.
I love it. Mind if I set it as part of a computer desktop image?

davincipoppalag (Mar 9, 2004)

thanks..feel free if you want to..

she looks pissed... great job on the hair and the green eyes

Knockoff (Feb 18, 2004)

THis is really nice, I love the shine to the hair.
It looks a little weird though without ears and side burns, though.
Anyways this still is really nice, Icats.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 19, 2004)

I should check the galleries more often. I miss so much. I honestly think you should do more of these porcelain-doll looking lovely creatures, because you have a knack for it, really. There's something about this one and the one in the green robe that make me want to keep looking at them.. this is the sort of thing I bet I just couldn't do. Her skin tones would be pretty in a sapphire color dress or something.... ooh yeah.

dixielandcutie (Feb 19, 2004)

the lips and eyes are really cool. awesome work in general

Gigandas (Feb 16, 2004)

lol, I have that a LOT.In fact, almost all my pictures are like that^^;.That's also why I'm so slow at drawing because I gotta go back and correct it><.No problem about the comments though.I really like to see people improve and I'm just trying to help you^^.Btw, I really like all your drawings.Keep it up XD.

davincipoppalag (Feb 17, 2004)

Boy have I got alot to learn.. I looked at this and said .Wow..then I read the critique and I had to say Wow to that too..I got alot out of what Gigandas said...you really have to look at your own stuff very carefully as if you are completely detached from it ..my work here sucks so far..but I am still gettting alot out of seeing the great pics that many here do, and the other insights I get from the critiques.. i LOVE this site!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 19, 2004)

EYE just like it. That's all I've got to say. :)

fleeting_memory (Mar 2, 2004)

she looks like she's about to go on stage cause she looks worried and she has on heavy makeup-interesting-looks like it was done with pastels
