I really love her dress!!! It is so beautiful! Yet its interest me with her hair flying up and turning into a spirit like bird... very amazing. Good job on this... You should like calll this a bird spirit something if your having a hard time in coming up with a title

The whole pose is a bit weird, can't point out why, but the picture as whole is great. You're getting better and better

Very beautifully done, I love the dress

Oh I think she's way more than just a girl in a gown I think she's gorgeous! You did a great job hon, and I love all the lil details you've added

I like the design a lot! especially her hair and the horns.
Great painting!

Hi Alex. In my humble opinion the arms look a little unaturarl in their pose. and i also think the face proportions are a little off.

i really like the concept tho and it seems to me like the spirit phoenix is whispering. sp maybe you can call it, "whispers of a phoenix." or "secrets of the sphinx"

by the way, do you have some kind of pattern overlayed on it. i see small squares all over the image.

Yes, the arm looks unnatural, like the whole pose no woman would stand like this hehe - but I honestly dont care in that special case I must admit. Its like I said a girl in a gown that doesnt mean anything to me besides the fact that I wanted to "just finish and put it away"
Maybe you know those kind of pieces you start years ago- lost the drive/interest/etc. and just finish it because its actually an almost finished piece.

Thanks for the crit though, much appreciated (..just a bit earlier next time k? So I can work on the probs while having the piece in work )

Ah yes its sort of an "invisble watermark" I use this thing on every piece I upload on the net. If you open the piece in IE and mark it it will show some copyright info on it across the whole piece

Hehe you really think? I dont know.. I guess I just dont get the knack for those type of paintings. I just finished it for the sake of finishing it o.O Guess I should try my hands on some of the "cool stuff". I should revisit Justing Sweet and Lockwoods Homepages ehehehe

But glad you like it I was pretty unsure about the turn out of it thanks hon!

yes, i have those images too. they are still sitting in my HD, waiting.....

that watermark only works in IE tho, i tried it in my safari, firefox and opera browser and it doesnt work.
