It reminds me a bit of Alicia from the Good Wife, but I'm not sure if thats who it reminded me.

Yeah, that makes sense what with the dark hair and all. Reminds me of Karen Allen for some odd reason.

Aye, I think it's more to do with the facial expression. Karen Allen has a similar facial expression too.

fabulous, my boys!

fabulous!

Exceptional!

It is a powerful piece. I find it disturbing but I'm still not sure why. I agree that there seems to be something sexual about it. I think it's the blindfold and the title that give me that impression. I go back and forth between seeing the hand and the 'red' (blood? raspberry jelly?) as sensual/savoring to seeing it as clawing/fear/insanity. Then I think...is it about a person who is refusing to see something base (violence? greed?) or unwanted in their own nature? Regardless, it's great to be able to produce a piece that draws the viewer in and invites them to give the image an interpretation. Congrats.

Cuuute!

A late thanks, but better now than never. Thanks for giving my drawing so much thought, BlackBird and Teapot. It's great to hear your interpretations. I had something in mind, but I like leaving it open to the viewer. :)

yep

Oh wow it does gives a beautiful resemblance on both drawings :D
Your art skills are always stunning my friend XD

I like her strong facial expression, how you used bold, defined colors to put the lit part of her face into focus. Amazing portrait, really

Heeeeeey....is that an LED?

Incredible lighting.

he tends to get a little inflamed when thinking....and no, it has to be incandescent.

Disturbing and very cool.

So disturbing, eh? First thing that came to my mind was 'cremation of a murdered girl'. I've been watching too many cop dramas.

too many cop dramas, there is. you'll be profiling me.
my pleasure, to disturb.

Who is it then?

mysterious girl:))

Just looking through your gallery and came across this. I'd forgotten that you drew it. I fell in love with the same photo! Pretty funny. I left out the berries. Seeing your version again...I really like how you made it your own style.

pressure sensitive pen to start with then duplicate your layer, set ' layer blend mode' to 'multiply', move it about,repeat this,try 'difference' mode, shake it all about and bob may be some how related to you, if your lucky

Tatas glacé. A new product niche? I think you're onto something here, Sunny.

well, hey..i just saw that haha...maybe worth trying. ;)

Yea, see how thoughtful I am. I'll probably get it finished for your next birthday.

yeeea..

I wanted to do alot more work on this, but when I got my new computer I lost the reference. So unless anybody happens to recognise the photo I've got very little chance of ever getting it finshed, so with great regret I've had to set it to finished.
