Description

Come, shadow of my end, and shape of rest,
Allied to Death, child to his black-fac'd Night:
Come, thou, and charm these rebels in my breast,
Whose waking fancies do my mind affright.
O come, sweet Sleep, come or I die for ever;
Come ere my last sleep comes, or come thou never.

(John Dowland, First Booke of Songes, 1597)


Procedure: Scanned in a piece of 250 year old paper, opened it in Photoshop and drew on top of it. Simple as that

Ooh, I quite like the ethereality and simplicity of rendering. Love the body, the way the light from the window spills over it, and the spilling green liquid. The face is beautiful and beautifully rendered, but it looks to me that her head and neck are a bit large. Lovely choice of colors, too, with those copper and peach tones accented by pale blues and green. Mmmm. It might be worthwhile to revisit the hands, if not in a rendered style then with the flat, elegant lines you've used for the body.
All in all, very lovely. :)

I love how playful you are with the flat and the 3d surface, it really guides the eye around nicely.

Beautiful character and colours. Well done, as expected.

Only crit: the text is hard to read. Move a little to the right.

Amazing work Kristina
I think this art work has an opposition between the decoration and the window.
Lovely work!!

Very nice! My only comment, the left thumb seems a bit "manly" and "thick"

Nice glow on her dress!

Excellent use of different medias. Top marks +9

Very good, balanced work, lighting is very nice. Understated style, just enough intensity to give substance, but not too much to lose the soft, airy feel. Nice texture too.

I like :)
I love:)
Wonderful transparent kind of look to it. And colours, and brightness.
Her face is so delicate and beauitful and the hair :o. I love the invading background and that you half done this like a 2d plus 3d work. Oh and I like the text ;).

Great piece Maidith!
Beautiful ;)

Beautiful, beautiful work. I love all of this, the dreamy subtleness, the detailed face the text and border add much to the composition. The paper texture is inspired. The lighting is great too. It leaves me wanting to see a more detailed version. You should be proud :) Well Done
