Description For a little change of pace, a portrait done from imagination. Usually, I work from reference photos, but this time, my only inspiration was a package of caramels.


I started this in Opencanvas and finished it in PS. I didn't intend for her to look like anyone, although someone mentioned that the hair style makes her look kind of Aaliyah-ish.

I was browsing through your gallery and I look at this one and I had to do a double take, because its me! Well it looks exactly like me. The only difference, is the eyes, everything else looks just like me. Thats pretty crazy. Excellent portrait, It came really realistic! haha how weird

Gorgeous. Somehow, with a bold and swift-feeling style, you create this delicate and exotic beauty. The light is great, quite real looking the way it accents her faces contours. I really enjoy her hair also. So natural the way you chose to use the colors and very attractive the way it falls around her face. The one thing, if I could say, I would want more in this, is detail in the eyes. I am speaking only from an objective viewpoint because I don't know what it takes to create eyes and how difficult it is, but it would indeed be a wonderful thing. With your skill I don't doubt you could do it.

Amazing work. Unfortunate that she only exist in this canvas and of your mind.

I love this one because you did not use anyone as a reference...although I do agree that the hairstyle does remind one of Aaliyah. I love the texture of her hair...her stunning facial features...including her eye(s)/eyebrow(s), nose, and lips. I also like her skintones and color...and the way you have created the very realistic lighting on and around her. I also like the hint of her fashionable garment(especially the design of the collar) and it's color. Great Work

Mmm...

She's pretty. Heh heh.

I like this painting because of that. There's not much else to it, except that it was done by a person with a lot of skill. The lighting is good.

Something you've probably heard a million times about this: This is absolutely beautiful. I love your shading.. god, I'd kill for your talent.

something you may not have heard: It looks kinda like my sister.. which is kinda creepy o_o But nevertheless, is cool.

I love the half lidded sultry eyes that she has, the shine on her lips and peak of her nose are just amazing. I'm gonna have to use a thesaurus soon to look up new words for amazing, wonderful, brilliant, devine.. all apply here and a multitude more. Your imagination seems to know no bounds and I'm in awe of your talent. Great work minix and gosh could I fall for her easily.. my stomach goes in knots just looking at her.. wow!

Thank you for sharing your talent and imagination

tarantino [2002-11-26 14:55:28 +0000 UTC]

I think she looks more conscious and direct than sweetly. The appearance is just photo-realsim and the overall-impression is very balanced and natural. Actual realism and natural looking are two opponents, but you got a great skill that combines both in a harmonic way. Especially succeeded is the proportion of her nose and the wet surface effect of her lips. Did you really managed this one without a reference? - that's just incredible. It has a special "smooth elegance" that I can't explain in words. Maybe it's just the way she looks at you or the fact that she has a very convincing appearance. Anyway just a fav-work.

But when I went to the desc. I said "Wow, it is amazing! you have a so big imagination! it is great!!!" I this one!
