hmm, that is true.

by the way, i have an idea for a contest. you'll have to agree of course, it will be your contest. but maybe for in the near future for a painting of yours.

you have a contest about something you draw. everybody sends in a concept containing just text. you pick out the best ones with several other jurymembers, ill be one if you please. after that you keep the 10 best ones and put them up in your journal as a poll. you let the peeps decide which one is the very best one.

and as first price, just 1 price, you make that piece and say the concept was thought up by this and that person.

...or, i might just be on the loose with what im saying

hah, thats silly. what would I get out of it except for drawing somebody's idea?
I have more than enough of my own concepts to draw.

near future means when you magnificent brain stops functioning in it's normal way and you need other peeps to create concepts.

well, you can always give it a shot when you feel like it

I'm only messin' with ya.
It does seem to me the detail falls off at the very bottom, but it doesn't affect the overall image in any major way.

Cheers, mate.

I love it.. it reminds me of the Image they gave of Victoria (the bad vampires chick in the second Twilight book) of her standing in the middle of the ocean and her hair looking like a fire. It's beautiful and impressive!

The-Requiem [2009-02-03 07:51:07 +0000 UTC]

i think the buildings and the water work well but the rock the girl stands on is very two dimensional compared to her dress. i understand what you've done with the water but as a note of criticism (which im probably not authorised to give based on my own talent) i think the rock could use some more detail

you could gradually blend it in with the water to ease the contrast a bit but its too harsh at the moment for me. it makes her look sort of pasted on.
