Description
For as Cleopatra. The scene where she rolls out of the carpet to meet Caesar sounds soooo sexy. I added the snake as an omen to her future.Just trying out a new thing here.. digital art is no fun at all!! *kills things*
Critique much appreciated.

See, they're invisible!! I meant that the colors didn't look like they were smudging into eachother without lines to seperate them, and that's a good thing!

I like how her red hair really stands out. I think it's clever the way her skin is similar to the fabric on the floor, but still looks different 0_o -not making sense- xpp
Anyway, I think it's a fantastic picture -much applause pour you-

Your blending is beautiful, but it does look like you have one more level of detail to add to sharpen/punch it up. I guess I would like to see the bed sheets hue a little more different than her skin it confuses a little bit. Really great stuff though.

Thank you Yes, one more level of detail.. but by then my computer is sooo sluggish I gave up. Hope the new computer will help me achieve that new level.

Just wanted to check in with you and see how you were doing with your computer purchase. What happened? Did you get the iMac? Is everything working out?

luciole In reply to Butch007 [2006-06-05 18:41:50 +0000 UTC]
Thank you for your concern!
I got the imac and everything is good so far. it took me quite a while to get used to the new OS, and it was a pain trying to get and transfer my old stuff here. I have tried out Painter and Photoshop and my tablet works like a dream.. completely different from my PC. The mac is still sluggish but I don't blame it, I am quite a rough user. I will be working on some fullscale paintings on this soon, and just can't wait! But right now have to deal with some real life thngies..
Thank you! It really is a very nice computer, easy to use. My only dislike is the keyboard.. it gets dirty too easily, hehehe.

Oh, if you don't use keyboard shortcuts you might want start they do actually speed things up pretty drastically and on the Mac the power keycut key is the Apple key (the command key) It does everything that Windows shortcuts do without needing both the alt and the control button. Hopefully this short list of keyboard shortcuts will atleast be marginally helpful.
command + H = Hides Frontmost application.
command + Tab = Switches active application.(Also unhides selected, but hidden app.)
command + M = Minimizes window to the Dock (Then you have to click on it in the Dock to get it back)
command + N = New
command + O = Open
command + W = Close Window (Application Still running)
command + Q = Quit Application
command + Shift + Q = Logout
command + C = Copy
command + V = Paste
command + X = Cut
command + control + escape = Force quits lagging application

Wow, thank you so much!!
I'm really loving this computer ^^ Everything is very easy and straightforward, and I don't have to worry about the hassle, and the interface really is very user friendly. I'm having a bit of problems with the music and pictures folder (they seem to want to wrestle all my stuff from me) but otherwise its great. I totally love the widgets XDthey really save alot of time for me.

Well, I have a calendar and time widget, three post-its for notes, a dictionary/thesaurus, calculator, currency convertor and language convertor (so fun!) and a little pet, hehe. Theres more though, to download and stock ones too: address books, business stuff, sports, flight tracker, stocks and things.
They're helpful as theres no need to go to dictionary.com and suchlike for info, and of course post-its are always very convenient. Do upgrade ^_^!

The shadows around her leg is a bit too sharp and flattens her figure... Perhaps it can use more shades? Her feet is too generic for my eye.
The background and her hair shows good depth.
I think the snake that wraps around her can be a little longer and extend itself to the foreground, so that our eyes can come to the foreground and move to the background along side of the snake's body. It can serve as a direction of movement for the eye.
Her bright red hair stands out now, but the rest of her muted into the background, and the figure is between the faded, or the contrast... makes me kind of unsure what you really want to do there.
If you really want her to fade away at the bottom half, make the bottom half feel more incomplete and fade into the background... if you want her to stand out from the background, maybe increase the contrast of the colors and intensity so she would pop more.
There goes my crit for ya~
Keep up all the lovely work, I hope to see more play with different variety of textures in your future pieces, too.

wow... this is a bit different compared to your usual works ne?
but its great anyway.. you did a good job on this. you don't have to kill things I think you should've added more highlights to the snake's scales a bit more to solve that blending with the background problem thing the others are noticing.
as always... great work! ^___^
