I have a tendency to make my pieces look like 3d models for some reason. Or, at least, I did. I hope I'm getting away from that a bit more now. Not that 3d models are bad, of course, but they're not always entirely realistic. I still like this gal too, though.

That is really beautiful... i really love the mood it set... its dream-like and enchanted almost.. what tools in photoshop did you use to make the fog/mist the way you did? that is gorgeous! the fog is my favorite part about the picture.

Thanks so much. This was a fun one, with the green glow. First time I think I pulled that off decently.

Thank you so much! I think your work is wonderful, though. We all have our own styles... and I've probably had more years of my life to work on it, too. I'm getting old!

And yet another +fav from your gallery. I hope you don't mind the flood of +fav's today...
I really like the mood in this piece. It has a certain mistery to it, almost hypnotic. Love it!

I will never understand why this one has so little comments, not to mention favourites. I've always admired this style of painting, and as always, you show your expertise in bringing the user's eye to a focal point, drawing attention straight away.
My girlfriend and I were shaking our heads and admiring the incredible detail here.. This quality of work is what I hope to produce at the end of my school term for my portfolio.. Absolutely stunning.

We're more into games design so we don't really have that many pieces of art to showcase

Aww, thank you so much! The lights (will o' the wisps) are actually creatures that lead unknowing travellers off into marshes or swamps and eventually to their doom. When seen from far off, they're supposed to look something like lanterns. At this point in this poor girl's wanderings, though, she's already "spellbound" by them and in some mighty deep trouble. But then maybe her Prince Charming comes and sweeps her off her feet and carries her away to safety - you never really know.
Thanks for the wonderful comment!

Woah, nice! You put so much detail!
The fog is very cool, as is the grass and...oh, reeds? hehe I was just thinking 'hey, don't they usually grow in water?' and lo! there's actually water there if I looked 
She definitely looks bewitched

Thanks! I thought about some sparklies on the water, but I didn't want to detract from the sparklies in the air. Still, perhaps. Thanks for the suggestion, and I'm so glad you liked it and took the time to check out all those elements of it!

Mm, perhaps if it was sparkly, the water would be kinda distracting.
And no problem - there's lots to look at

Gorgeous!! The monochromatic look really adds to the atmosphere. You did a wonderful job on the background, and the woman, herself, is beautiful! Great work! A must

I'm so glad you think so, too! I think all the green really helped with the mood, or at least it was meant to. Thanks so much for the +fav!

Thanks! I think the avatar fits the majority of my work better now. Besides, who else would think it was cool to see me morphing into a tiger except... well... me?

where does this voice come from. something i cannot see is talking to me. what is it. where are you. Who are you. so she wandered into the forest following this mysterious voice. small green lights appeared in front of her. they were everywhere. some of them surrounded her, some of them, one could say danced in front of her. she could not but look at those dancing lights. she lost consciousness. when she awaked, all the small green lights were still surrounding her. but there was one small light lying upon the ground. so those lights wanted her to help the, apparently wounded (or whatever you will call it) she pressed that one close to her heart. the wounded small green light began to fly again.
i like the idea, a young woman following few lights into the darkness. do you know stephen king's tommyknockers?

Ooh, a story to go along with it! Yay! I'm so glad that this could be inspiring to you. I do, indeed, know Stephen King's Tommyknockers. I'm a huge King fan. Thanks so much for sharing your story snippet and for the nice comments!

this is great i love the hazy look u added to it to make it feel swampy but that light sparklies give it that enchanted look i adore it ^^
her pose is great def gives her that enraptured look
*gets curious and tromps thru to willows*

Thank you! I like the haze too, but I've had a few people tell me it needs more contrast. I was actually going for less contrast to enhance that misty look, but ah well. I'll figure it all out one of these days.

Thanks! It's a bit muted and less colorful than I used to go for, but I'm thinking this is a style I like. So glad you did, too

Lookin good! Haven't seena anything from you for a while. ^_^ Glad to see you still about. This one is loking really nice, I think the hair could use a bit more blending into the fog. Everything is working so well color wise, but because her hair is red, its really standing out right now, kinda ruining the realism. By the way, I got the print of "Faceless Strangers of Stone" A bit dark, but ooks great! Hung it up where I can see it when I come home. ^^

I definitely agree with the hair blending into the fog a bit more. It does seem to be standing out. I tried to desaturate the hair some, but it's pretty red on your monitor, I guess? I definitely wasn't necessarily going for a completely 100% natural haircolor with that, though. But I didn't want it TOO red, either. Perhaps I'll play around with it a bit before putting the finishing touches on the print.
Thanks a ton for the suggestions, and I'm so glad that the print of Faceless Strangers of Stone turned out fairly well!
