EverDream (Aug 7, 2003)
"...Down pour on my soul. Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control. Dark sky all around, I can't feel my feet touching the ground. But if I can't swim after forty days and my mind is crushed by the crashing waves, Lift me up so high that I can not fall Lift me up.- When I'm falling, Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying, Lift me up - I need you to hold me, Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again..."

Inspiration from 'Jars of Clay'

This is amazing. Your shading so far is excellent and the lineart is beautiful. The folds are terrific as are the waves in the hair. I also love the perspective of it. Excellent job.

holy shit, and i didnt believe in god? *grovels*
marcello (edited Aug 8, 2003)
let's keep the ego inflating to a minimum, right? The lineart is good, but I'm hoping the shading there isn't final version, because it seems rather mechanical and overblurred, rather than realistic or interesting.

I need to see that video!
Best shading I've ever seen!
I love the fact you've done it all in blue, it gives it a murky auror.

I believe you definitely portrayed the feeling you were trying to get across. Makes me feel like I need to gasp for air.... lovely work. I especially like her facial expression.
Look (Jan 26, 2004)
The angle of this drawing is really awesome! The air bubbles are just so nice and sparkle up the whole image.
Darknightstar (Jan 28, 2004)
It is truly Breath-Taking.....the colors are perfect, along with her expression........*Stares and continues to admire*.....
(What do you use to create these breath-taking works of art??)
PinkuEspeon (Jan 31, 2004)
I don't really like this... but, heck yeah, this picture rocks for one drewn on the computer! I suck at drawing online!! But, this is crap compared to my artwork in real life...
morbidboblover (Feb 29, 2004)
Amazing, this reminds me of Elizabeth from Pirates of the Caribbean! *Giggles as she thinks bout Jack Sparrow!* I love it!
fleeting_memory (Mar 4, 2004)
this is one of my favorites of yours-prolly the first one I saw on the site besides one of TheCatsPaw's-I love the view point and the folds in the dress
davincipoppalag (Mar 4, 2004)
I never saw this one either.. beautifully done..the folds in the clothing and the facial expression.. the bubbles.wonderful
Dizzie (Apr 16, 2004)
In an attempt to oppose some of the common 'Wow' and 'Cute' that I've been distributing throughout the site, I shall tell you that I love that perspective! The dress is great, such nice wrinkles. I can't do dresses and most clothing for just that reason! Those damned folds and wrinkles....You look like you've pretty well mastered it. The expression rox 'cause you can actually see the sadness and of course the black & blue adds to the feeling. The hair is beautifully shaded and the whole drawing is excellent.

In short missie,
You RoCk!

This came out fantastic! great colors.
pulmonq2 (Mar 14, 2005)
>.> you all are pathetic, really. It's really a nice picture, and she's got a very pretty face, but still, you all are a bunch of idiots with you "omg you're a god" comments. Just like the sort of crap on Aubrey's car picture. I hope Everdream frowns as well on your attempts at deification, because it seems almost more rediculous than flattering. I've noticed that on alot of pieces people seem to overreact for no apparent reason, giving more praise than is due, and its just silly.

For Everdream: I most like her face and the clarity and shape of her eyes. And of course, the neat sig. If I had to make any criticism, it would be the nose, though it's still cute. :P
Nyuusen (Mar 14, 2005)
pulmong has some inferiority complexes apparently... diefication hurts no one besides ego inflation, so let em do what they want and get over it you mongrel you. XP
b_WITCH_d (Mar 28, 2005)
so my words, so my thoughts, so visually compelling, beautiful,
and given my current state of being says it all..
pain subsides only to crash you into the shore again and again, and you awake drowning, struggling for breath, heart bursting,
only to be alone again struggling for some sanity in the things that keep slamming into you.
wondering if you will ever gain the surface .
love your impressions.

Great work
lori (Sep 7, 2012)
if I had to draw the two angels that I saw at my bedside when I was really sick with pneumonia, they would look like this, only more concerned looking... but they were this heavenly blue color.. it was so weird... I've often thought about drawing them but didn't think I could do it
dorothyblueeyes (Sep 15, 2012)
reminds me of old magazine illustrations, or cartooning style, with that foreshortening effect.maybe it's the face and nose,too.but very much drowning effect, alright,and reminded me instantly of Michelle Pfieffer (?spelling) movie where her husband has killed,drowned his other wife.

this is particularly a difficult type of scene to depict.from films, & photos of a body, & face drowning,the light diffusion from above, thru the water,can be tricky, & have strange effects, shadows that are hard to predict.

while this is good,(yes, very nice blue)I myself would want to use a real photo,film,or even a model somehow to see how the depth of water,clearness,ect., affects the overall picture. (we have had artists, here, who did some very good depictions of bodies submerged, and i don't know how they did it;it's hard.) so, yes, pretty good and ambitious. If you're still interested, there are movies with drowning,or deepwater scenes of bodies worth studying.any experiences from life, swimming, diving, or just underwater could be helpful.(quite a coup you got marcello to comment.:) ) yep, this is a particularly difficult type of scene to paint; i think it's good. (sorry if I seem too analytical, i'm used to being that way on myself.)
