Description 27.nov 2005 NEWS: This painting got featured in the new book from Ballistic Publishing; Exotique
Read more [link]

This picture is my best so far.. I had this idea for a long time.
It has taken me about a month to finnish (I dont work constantly but anyway)

I have painted it only in photoshop 7. The most used tools are the brush, both hard and soft, and eraser. I had a few layers..
the original is 8000x3900, so its possible to make a poster of it..

The idea of the clothes and makeup is to show something different, something beautiful, goth and mystical. I have played around with colors and the main ones used are the green DA like color and pink.

I am satisfied
I hope you like it aswell!

Wow! This is a really beautiful piece.
I love the face and hair. And the fuzzy bits (a very technical term) around her neck are really well rendered.

you are right.. neck and hands are horrible to make

bakubreath In reply to egilpaulsen [2003-11-21 21:11:44 +0000 UTC]

LoL! I'd have to agree. Hands and feet are the worst for me.
Though I think the hand in this piece is well done.

She has a very beautiful face. And i love the dress design, it must have taken forever for you to complete. The title is very befitting for the pic. Nicely done, it is gorgeous.

i really like all of the different layers in her clothing, and her expression is really beautiful aswell. she looks like she's wondering about something, its not the usual dark, meloncholy, dead pan face. lovely lovely work, i wish i only had half your talent, and i'd be satisfied with that

It's amazing for a few reasons, I mean other than it completely blowing my eyes right out of their sockets. The cloths and the make-up, her expression, the colors... it's all so excellent. Very jealous of your skill there.

Oh mamma mia ! så utrolige detaljer !!!!
I think your 'play' with the colors is really harmonious and at the same time not banal at all....
her expression is very interesting. And I love this mystical background !!!!! looks softly oriental in the whole.
