Description
This really started out as pencil sketch with the thoughts of how someone would take the plunge to better themselves. But I personally think that the improvement of self doesn't necessarily have to be an individual journey; often it is the people you meet, the friends you make that shape the new and hopefully better, 'you'.Taking the plunge isn't as lonely when shared with another.

Beautiful the pose... emotions... color. Yet no faces and it still captures so much. One of the most original pieces I've seen in a while.

That's an awesome concept!
The flowingness on the pose and the soft light colours really make it a stunning piece!
I'm really in love with this! It's so powerful evnthough you can't even see the characters faces!

Very effective composition, the cutoff really gives one the illusion of movement. A very sweet idea behind this too, lovely.

I really, really like this pictyre. The fact that you don't show the characters' faces is very appealing; it also solidifies and intensifies the concept that we are not indivuals. The way the characters are taking plunge together suggest that we are one and life will be complete if we share our moments with one another ^__^. Also, the sunlight thet shines upon them is cleverly emphasised through the bright colour scheme - I feel that the light creates such cheerful and hopeful atmosphere to the picture, which I feel realtes really well to your intention within the picture. great artwork, I shall fave this!

Wow, you have such natural graphic talent. The thing i like best about your work is the compositon and layout--the way you use nontraditional space to create stunning visual effect. This is a prime example of that and the effect is both eye-catching and thought-engaging.

Wow, this is beautiful and so very sweet. I love the movement of it all, the colors are great, and the folds in the cloth so crisp and clean. I really like the blank background, and how the sparkles of light help to tie the figures in with it. Very bright and encouraging.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Very true..
It's very light and warmhearted. There's definitely some emotion being evoked from the color choices and the placement of the figures. You don't even have to know who they are, and you know that they're happy, together.

it's so gorgeous
I just LOVE how we only see their bodies, it adds so much more movement to them keeling over. And I really like the bright white bg with some glow in it, awww love

I really like this picture because all the emotions (that I interpret) are conveyed through one simple action/snapshot of that action. Movement is great too... o_o I wish I could be analytical as everyone else seems to be, but hey, I like pictures because... I like pictures?
Ignore my pointless rambling. Great work! Most definitely a +fav!

This is great - the composition is superb, as is the art itself. Your angles are great, the body positions are wonderful too, and I like the colors.
Plus symbolism!! Great work!

great shading ^^ i thought i was only seeing a part of the pic so i clicked on it and it enlarged but i still can't c the head! lol

LOL I intentionally left the heads out. hee hee...sorry for the confusion! Thanks for the comment by the by.

yesh, this piece carry all the perspective that make your style unique. I have a question though, is the person on top a girl or a guy, I can't tell. But the choice to leave out the heads is excellent. It emphazices the important of the concept behind the picture, because the audience can fill in the blank

LOL....I had a feeling someone would ask the gender of the person on top. I personally would like to leave that to the person looking at the piece. 
Thanks for the comment!

hahaa,
hmmm I question you sometimes

to me it seems very professional looking, compared to, say, manga pin ups or anime covers, etc, and i love the idea behind it.
i'm not gushing! i just sincerely *love* this piece.
it even made me laugh.

I love how emotional this is. The blank BG is perfect; it keeps the focus on the feeling the viewer gets from the snapshot of these characters. It's also interesting how endearing the two people are, even though we can't see their faces-- their feelings and their ways of expressing them make them familiar enough.
I don't have any criticism in particular for this piece, mostly because I have no idea how a body behaves when it is flying at another body.

Thank you so much for such an analytical critique! You really picked up a lot (and even more) of what I wanted to portray. It really means a lot to me when people can respond to my work. So thank you again!

oooo, wow. I definitively love the colors, and the framing/composition... Hmm, I wonder who those two people could be... *ponders sarcastically.*
And yeah, like Gramma said, warm fuzzy feeling, then that usual cold damp one. ^_^;
Good shtuff! +fav!

Ehehehe....it is all purely coincidental.
In truth, I did not have any intentions of alluding it to love...I really wanted to show a strong emotional bond between two people whether they're lovers, friends, or someone just extremely important. I wanted to leave it to the audience's imagination I suppose.
Thanks a lot for the comment and fav!
