Hi dear member of
your lovely piece of art has been featured in my latest news-article of the devious/colorcrazy folders:

The coloring and the style of artwork is stunning. Especially charming are the subtle contrasts and the sparkling brilliance found in the details and on the boundaries where the hue changes. Yet it is not overworked, overdone or out of balance.
I love this particular piece. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, I don't remember how long it took, somewhere between 5 and 10 hours maybe?

Hey, I feel like you were inspired by Ruan Jia color and texture techniques and by gothic/classical paintings. The pose of the head is very much gothic and the face features are very much classic. Am I right?
That mouth makes an appealing avatar, anyway.

Yes, pretty much.

This is very beautiful. I really love your style. It reminds me of an Italian Renaissance painting.

Das sieht so schΓΆn glΓ€nzend aus... Selbst die Haut wirkt fast wie aus glattem Porzellan oder auch Glas. Da passen die rauhen Texturen gut dazu! Der Seidenschal ist ja auch schΓΆn.
Nur finde ich, dass das Kinn auf der bildrechten Seite ein wenig breit wirkt. Dadurch sieht das Gesicht fast etwas schief aus...

Hi there, Maidith!
This looks great, but you say you need to improve? Well, actually I was wondering if you had any tutorials, because while you may think you need to improve, well, it's probably not as much as me. ^.^
Great work here! I've been following your work for quite sometime now. At least a few years. I am a person of little to say, however, which is why my comments are lacking most of the time. You've always done good work to admire.

You're truly sweet in your response. Thanks a lot for the link, I'm reading the first tutorial now.
I better get a move on, too... I've got character portraits to draw!

I have to agree with devilfairy1981. It reminds me of The Renaissance. Great job!
