Description
Maรฎtresse de SangBased on Spring Incarnate , this is the last experiment before I start the final. Turned down the lights and let the shadows come to play on this one. It's interesting to see how drastically an image can shift in feel with a few changes here and there. For more information about the image view the original, Spring Incarnate .

Thank you.
I still go back and forth between this and Spring Incarnate , on which is my favorite. Depends on my mood I suppose.

Thanks! Like I've said to others, the two are very different and appeal to different folks. It's kind of interesting to see how drastically the image can change with minimum changes.

That's so beautiful... I love the detailed lashes and her pale skin works great with the red background
Excellent work!

hey not bad, has the l'amore feel to it, the lips well rendered, the face and eyebrows, very cool touch. Ive not seen one of these in a while. The background image flows well with this piece. I also like the borders, very fine work.
Critiscism: Be careful of the shading in the neck, it dosent seem very fluent with that of the face, also i think the neck has too many lines, hence lost it's smoothness.
Also dont add too many dark shades onto the face, when i tilt my laptop at an angle, i can see all the shades, it start to look a bit spoctchy.

Thank you so much for the in-depth compliments and critique! As far as the shading goes, I'm aware of it yeah. It was intentional in this piece because I wanted to balance the realism with a more artistic choppy style. I actually toned down the contrast on this one a lot more than in the original piece, in which you can see the choppy shadows much clearer. Future pieces might have smoother shading if I decide to experiment, but I'm a fan of rougher near-painterly textures in my work.

This is my favorite of the three. I can see why everyone commented on the eyelashes of Spring Incarnate with the full veiw. They are beautiful.
A really balanced picture. The background of this one suits it perfectly.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and the compliment. And yes, a full view is usually needed with illustrations of this sort. I only add a suggestion to the pieces that can use it.

Thanks! I'm quite fond of the wallpaper motif as well... Wasn't easy to produce in clear quality, but it came out quite well I think.
