Description
I wanted to capture the sadness and loneliness of beauty. In so many ways, beauty gets all the attention, but in many ways, it's all alone.Many ideas came to me in putting her in an environment but at the end I just wanted to focus on her and figured that if I added more things to the background, it would lose her in all the mess. I had a lot of fun doing everything. Designing the skirt was the hardest part but I like it however.

I love this work, the beauty and the simplicity of the woman, toghether give a sense of loneliness, but a peaceful loneliness

there is something about a woman's back, i think its one of the most beautiful features of a woman. You captured her lonliness well in her face even though you can't see her eyes. it also has an added irony almost in her nakedness combined with her lonliness... like she is showing off her beauty and yet there is no one there to appreciate it...

I really can't say enough wonderful comments about this shot.
How much retouching was done to smoothe out the skintones and the lighting?

I'm guessing I should have checked the submission type first. I thought it was a photograph retouched to look this way, not a totally generated image... I'm sorry- but I still love it

I like your goal here and I think you presented the idea very well. Great looking piece.

Her tiara is amazing. I like how you captured the mood without showing much of her face, mostly just using posture.
I'm not sure, but the back looks a little off.

Yeah, I really had no reference and we just painting it off of my mind. I got 60 hours into it and got to a point where I couldn't make it any better but instead started messing it up. So I had to leave it the way it is as you see. Thanks though.

This is wonderful.
I think that the reason a lot of "ugly" or "plain" people are so welcoming, is because all the Beauties push them away, thinking they need only beautiful things in their lives.

Wow. Very pretty! It kinda looks like you used airbrushing technique and vectors in one piece. It's kinda a nice touch.

Very lovely. I like your description... It fits very well with the piece. Your Lady reminds me of Phèdre from the Kushiel's Legacy series, by Jacqueline Carey. I always thought the (book) covers never did her justice... But your beautiful painting does.

Thank you. I don't know much about the books you are talking about but I would like to do paintings for books one day. Thanks again.

The concept is brilliant, and the artwork is absolutely amazing. Heh, for a second there, I had to check if it was a photo or a drawing. That's pretty good, if you asked me.

Gorgeously done and realistic, great idea as well!
Her fingers seem a little too long, but I love the shading on her face.
Congrats on the DD!!
