Description
AT LAST. For a long time I create something new. I create this work for OUT OF CONFORT ZONE CONTEST. I create abstract art with more painting and contrast playing. I combined painted and retouched elements. This is total experiment and I'm happy with the result.I hope that everyone will like this work

First of all I just want to say how much you've improved since the last time I reviewed one of your artworks: "Queen Rose". And judging from all the faves on this, I'm not the only one who thinks so.
There are no rough edges, everything is smooth, the colors are all working very well together. One of the first things I noticed was how well you blend the stocks. I wasn't even sure which model you used until I clicked the link, and then my mind was blown! I've seen that model absolutely everywhere and I didn't even recognise it!
Anyway, let's get started!
VISION
The vision is obviously a fantasy portrait style, but I rate high for the fresh presentation. The contrast is also in the perfect range, where in "Queen Rose", it was a little washed out and didn't pop off the background enough.
Speaking of background, I also love the depth of focus you've created using the blur. It goes perfectly with the theme of the artwork, but doesn't distract from the model or interfere with the effect you were trying to create.
ORIGINALITY
As portraits go, everything appears very fresh and new on the screen, with the lighting placed in just the center where it attracts maximum attention, especially in the thumbnail where it appeared very fresh to me when I first saw it. Makes you want to click the full version immediately.
TECHNIQUE
Technique is definitely where your biggest improvement is. I love that all the stocks rhyme with each other, and are all of equal quality. They blend perfectly and look like they're all part of one big headdress. The monochrome color scheme is normally rather mute, but it's brought completely to live by the violet color and the fractals.
IMPACT
The little details are what really takes the prize for impact, I think. As I said before, just the fact that you were able to take all these different stocks and change the look of the model so drastically. And how it still manages to look so real. (The little flowers curling around the wing tip is astounding!) Mixing stocks so perfectly is one of my FAVOURITE things to see in an artwork. To see something only the artist can create. Love it!
My one issue is, it's difficult to place the genre. Some elements of fantasy, some sci-fi (represented by the light on her face) and the gothic/dark style tears, make this piece look somewhat confused-- but only if you look hard enough for long enough (like me, lol)
And if I could sneak another issue, not really related to the artwork, it would be the signature. I love the way your written signature looks, but I think the one that says "deviantart 2017" is just distracting me from the art a little.
But other than that, I can't think of anything I don't like! I don't think I've ever given such a high rating! Great job, I think it's my favorite of your gallery. Great job!
