Description EDIT: I really don't like this image anymore, so I was pondering removing it, but I decided to leave it because I was so proud of it all those years ago, and this was also when I truly learnt how to handle eyes in photoshop, so I'm going to leave it be. Critique is pretty much wasted at this point however.

So I've had this idea for a while, but first I didn't really know how to do it, and then my ps flipped and stopped working, but now it's finally done! And I freeze on the name, of course. Well, after trying a halfhour to come up with a name, I just gave up. Like I said, I don't really have the gift of the word. *sigh*

Flames, etc from my own personal stock.

I love the concept for this, the eyes look perfect, I really love them! The only thing I might criticise is that the flame at the top looks a bit off.. Overall it's still fantastic though!

Beautiful piece, well blended. The eyes and expression are striking. It's a moving piece that really hits the viewer on an emotional level.

Beautiful job with the way you highlighted (is that you in the photo?)

I love the reflection on the skin - it really feels warm and glowing!! Great job!!!

Choiseul In reply to taeliac [2006-10-16 00:54:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it is, spent some time thinking out how to do the highlightning in photoshop, I'm pretty happy with how it went

Oh god, i love the eyes, the skin.. How you 'wear' the flames as a necklace or..something. Your skin who sem to be turning into ashes..the expression.. Your hair, the pose..

Perfect

+fav ofc ^^

Choiseul In reply to TwistedKatiekat [2006-10-11 13:56:34 +0000 UTC]

Well, the original idea was just those eyes, and I've been thinking about how to make them "glowing" enough for at least two weeks, and in the same turn I figured out how to make the skin "reflecting" the flames, which makes you need to kinda put flames there
Well, I'm really happy with the result, and it makes me happy you like it. Like I said it always feels greater if a great artist likes your work ^^
So, thank you
