Description
In Arabian mythology, Ifrit (also spelled Efreet or Afreet, from Arabic عفريت ʻIfrīt), is the name given to a class of Jinn (magical spirits also known as Djinn, Djinni and Genie) that embody fire. Though they could live for thousands of years, they were not immortal, and if cut, they would "bleed" the fire running through their veins until it consumed their bodies. Ifrit tend to be arrogant creatures, believing themselves to be greater than all other races because they came first into the world.---------------------------------------

...Gah.. This is beautiful. Gods, this is amazing.. You're very, very talented. Thank you for sharing this piece. It, most literally, held me for quite a while. I haven't found a piece of art that I've seriously just sat and stared at for quite some time now.. I'm trying to drink it all in, but I don't think it's possible. Thank you, once again, for sharing this gorgeous art.

amazing work here.
I think you've done a great job capturing the arrogance and bauty of the ifrits.
the mix of the warm yellows and red with the cold purple gives this image a mysterious and haunting apperance.
your abbilety to mix photo and stock is simply wonderful and you sertanly have a tallent for making it look real.
keep it up

I haven't heard of Ifrit in years, since a brief course in mythology.
This is a great portrayal of what they are, great job

I just learned something new, that wa san interesting comment, especially how they would bleed fire until they burned to nothing, what a horrible way to go
Orange and purple make such a powerful colour combination I reckon, and the background (complete with fish) gives a really dense feel to the image, as if your'e surrounded by molten lava

wonderful use of color- the violets and blues are really enriched by the warm yellows and oranges of the background. the whole thing moves with the conversation of colors. the only thing that really bothers me is the drop-shadow on the horns. it's one of those techniques that can be spotted from a mile away, and i feel like it's unessesary here, when there is so many other, better techniques being used.

This is amazing, and a quick little bit of crit, is that the horn blends a bit awkwardly into the ear, maybe making the grey part a bit browner may help? (I have no idea, I don't manipulate pictures really) I also love love love the blue in your hair and face. Great picture.
