Innovative, risk taking, traditional, simple yet complex. This is a very fine piece of work. I'm actually feeling slight dizziness it's so darn good

Woah. Just, woah. That's fantastic; it's blurry, yet it adds to the effect. The wings in particular look incredible.

Oh wow... I just LOVE this work of art! Wonderful colors and strokes, and I love the lonely feeling that comes with the rain effect and the expression of the man. The water also looks so real. Truly a masterpiece. Instant fave! Keep up the great job!

str4yk1tt3n [2005-07-31 06:32:49 +0000 UTC]

I honestly like the line sketch still being there...it adds a certain feeling or quality to it that I think adds, rather than subtracts from the piece. Very nice.

Edward-the-Oblivious [2005-07-31 06:11:04 +0000 UTC]

There's just something about this piece that keeps drawing you back to it; every time I scrolled down to comment, I just suddenly felt the urge to go back up and stare at this picture for just a little longer. I think it's absolutely beautiful, personally. You can see the wings and the water and other little shapes and figures in there that remind me of a phoenix, or something similar. It really makes me think about what exactly it is that I'm looking at, which shows just how good this piece really is.

Wonderful job here; I absolutely love it. This one is a must-fave, definitely. Keep up the great work!

burningbigbang [2005-07-31 04:06:28 +0000 UTC]

I'm a sucker for these kinds of palettes and styles. SO MUCH LOVE <3

I agree with a lot of people who reckon that the sketchlines make the guy stand out from the rest of the piece - perhaps that might not be what you intended, but it's a nice effect all the same.

Vehdrehl [2005-07-31 04:01:11 +0000 UTC]

This is vaguely beautiful. I don't mean that in the way it normally would be meant. I mean it as that it's somewhat not all there.. blurred around the edges, faint yet fantastic. It soothes me just to view upon it. An instant favourite.

Jackill [2005-07-31 03:14:14 +0000 UTC]

I kind of like that you didn't delete the sketch of the guy in the center; it gives the impression that his surroundings are surreal and yet he is not, like the wings and the rest of the background are an allegory.
Phew, I wish I could turn out a sketch like that, though.

Congrats on getting a DD.
