Grapes, because they are awesome, and since New Year is coming, we Spanish celebrate it by eating twelve grapes twelve seconds before midnight.
So this is my present for all of you
self-portrait

I am completley captivated by this work!
There is a lot of green, and let me tell you it has a wonderful effect.
Model has red hair and I like it very much, it harmonizes well with the green.
The pale skin adds an eye catching effect.
Focus on the blue eye looks amazing.
Every detail on this photo appeals a lot. Great idea!
This concept of the grapes is amazing to me.
It looks great that one of the grapes covers the eye.
Noteworthy is also the brilliant makeup - lovely!
I would not be surprised if this photo received a Daily Deviation.

Beautiful. Gorgeous. The green captures my eyes A LOT. There are so much shades of green in the picture. I bet the grapes kinda taste good! ^^. Keep up the hard work with the photos. The grapes are a little blurry though, but the rest is great! I hope you choose another great fruit that can capture my eyes just like this picture. The makup you chose looks GREAT with the grapes. The eyes are crystal clear, excellent. Just excellent. Also her hair goes with the colors of the photo. Like a reddish-browish color. Overall, this is great. Keep up the good work. ^^

i've never seen anything like this photo or this series of photos. actually, the closest thing i've seen is the portfolio of paintings by a british guy of his girlfriend which can be found by searching under "artwork by steve".
in these photos by senju hime, her lips and eyes are absolutely insane to start with, and then she makes them even more pronounced and shocking with all the brilliantly conceived and applied color. these close-ups become landscapes of a startlingly, almost alienish good looking chick. even the fruits become unreal in the perfection of their shapes and surfaces. the hue on the lips matches the grapes so precisely, even blending into a burnt sienna as the lips reach in toward the gums. the color of the grapes is reflected in the lip and eye shadow color, and also literally reflected on her chin. these are too many amazing, eye catching, perfectly composed aspects to be accidental. these features are all carefully and capably thought out intentional effects.
this stuff goes dimensions above and beyond the most interesting fashion photos out there. and at just 16 years old? what a future she have ahead of her.

Absolutely LOVE the contrast between your beautiful red hair and the green from the grapes. Your lips are almost a perfect representation of the grapes with the colour and texture. I also love the way that your pale skin contrasts with your makeup and hair. Your extremely beautiful and all of your work is amazing. Your work drives me to paint! You HAVE to let me paint one of your works one day. Absolutely astonishing. Your Tutie Fruitti series is by far my favorite group of your work. Keep up the good work and please, please, please never stop your art!

I have to admit, this photo is confusing me a little! The exceptional sharpness of the eye and eyebrows of this photo contrasts hugely with the bottom half of the face, then again even more from the grapes. I actually had to look at it for a while before realising it was, in fact, a photograph and not some form of painting! Not that that's a bad thing, it was just playing with my mind a little bit!
That aside, this is a fantastic play on the idea of such a vivid colour as green! It really works with the grapes, conveying an idea of sharpness, in both viewing and taste! I can almost feel the grapes against my tongue! I love the positioning of her lips; it looks almost seductive, sensual.
It is a very original piece, I will definitely give it that! I really love how you've done everything in this, from the composition to the colour usage. It really is a beautiful, eye catching piece!
In regards to technique, I feel that there is something off with it, though yet again, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I understand that you've probably put everything but the eyes out of focus for a reason, but I feel that the grapes should be sharper, higher definition to convey the sharpness, and brightness of the fruit.
The contrasting colours of the lime green and bright red of her hair work well together; almost an Irish-Rose colour palette coming through in your work.
I find this piece surprising, almost a refreshing burst of colour on my screen. Well done, truly!

I really like you're work, I think it's very creative and expressive, and there's so much variety, from the slightly lustful look in the eyes to the bright green cheerfulness in the grapes. The way the mouth is positioned in the act of consuming the grape is perfectly matched with the lust and desire in the eyes, but the eyes contain more than just that- it seems clear to me that they contain a little sarcasm; a character who enjoys to be cheery but doesn't like it when other people judge her by that- the expression in the eyes is a kind of love for the fruit and a look at other people that says 'Don't judge me,' even though she's half way through eating a grape. Also her eyes are filled with a kind of adoring 'joy' as she enjoys the grapes.
Many people tell me I talk to much and never get to the point, and my friends tell me I'm too soft a critic, so I'll now to the part to be a bit 'critical' (if that's even possible on this fantastic piece!).
The colour contrast is perfect and so is the position and placement of the fruit. I definitely think this is something to be proud of, and an incredible piece, WELL DONE!

This is an absolutely beautiful picture. I have yet to see any other portraits where people and fruit are involved that are as innovative and original as this piece. I love how you incorporated the color of the fruit into your makeup, it almost makes it seem like you share the essence of the fruit in a way. The pops of color that are different from the make up (such as your hair and eyes) are also very garish, yet beautiful elements to the picture. They fit nicely with the original color scheme. An excellently lovely job, very well done.

This is a BEAUTIFUL piece of art. I can't tell if it's a photo, or a painting! Everything is lined up perfectly, and there is plenty to look at. The red hair and the green grapes add a gorgeous contrast, and the eye stands out based on it's detail and pale blue color.
I don't think I have ever seen this type of technique before. More painterly-looking area in one place, and a more photo-looking area in another.
I know I've seen images of people with fruit before, but I don't see it as often as I used too. The idea isn't always portrayed well, as placement of the fruit is key. But here, it is perfect.
The color contrast, the idea, and the technique are amazing, and when added together make one stunning piece of artwork! Wonderful job on this piece!

There's a girl I follow on Instagram, who goes by the handle 'lidiavives'. She and you have a similar photography style, which I love, though yours differs as they are mostly close-ups of you in different fruit/other poses. So inventive.Β

STUNNING. I love all of your fruit works. But this one is my favorite. With the eyeliner and lips, you remind me of Lana Del rey

This is such an amazing photo!
I was wondering if I could draw this image with a slight
variation of colours and enter it into my local Youth Art competition?
I will also upload the image to deviantart for all to see (:

This is definitely among my favorites from your Tutti Frutti series. The grapes are excellent, but the expression is even better. I find this piece compositionally great and very well executed. Do you work with photoshop or a different editing program?
