Description
Charlotte was convinced that, given proper training and steady guidance, little Valetto could be one of the great ones....Digital collage /photo/Painting done with my wacom tablet in Photoshop CS4.
Forcing myself to work and backgrounds and trying to pay attention to detail.

I'm afraid not me! I haven't been lucky enough to do any album covers or anything like that. Maybe someday!

She's got something in her eyes... Big +, faces in CG often are the weakest point of the composition. Not this time!

oops, for some reason I got my comments mixed up and thought you were commenting on another piece, I am glad you like this one as well!

Don't worry, I could add the same big plus to all your works (I have spend some time watching). I hope baby will sleep well enough to let you draw from time to time, I will check out

hopefully, though with a 2 1/2 year old and a baby...well the sleep schedule/painting schedule could be a little interesting!

I know, what you are heading in. I have two boys, age difference: 19 months. Beware the moment, when the younger kid starts to walk, they will typically go in two directions with two deadly ideas on their minds. But don't worry, children grow up and then parents miss this wonderful time (now one of my sons rides a motorbike, and the other's paragliding... I wouldn't call it a relief for my nerves)

ah so you understand what I will be facing! We have a boy already and now we are getting our girl

This is the last work I visit today, but I wanted to show you how much I really liked your art.
On my stock account, I did a rush fave shower, but on my art account I will go slowly, enjoying each work I love. I am very picky at my art account, and I really enjoy taking the time to see each work.
There is no doubt about you being an artist, and a good one. I still need to see more of your work to have a better idea and comment better on them, but one thing is for sure: your art absolutely rocks.
There is a subtle mix of "creepiness" and "innocence" in some. Sometimes it's in the eyes of the character, sometimes in their heads, other times in their attitude. I still want to check that because I found it so interesting to study.
The crystal clear definition of this work is something I love. I also like the colors so much, so vivid and energizing.
After having written this first impression, I checked the stocks you used and now I am in awe.
The way you select them to create this piece is impressive, and the work you do on them absolutely masterful. The cat... is a little jewel 
I wish I could see the other stocks used to appreciate your expertise 100%. The paper on the wall is amazing, the frames and how they are positioned, the little mouse, the floor, everything in it fits so perfectly and the idea is so fresh and lovely.
Let me tell you that I will enjoy coming to your gallery and checking your art. As I say, everything happens for a reason, and maybe we wouldn't have met if things had not happen as they did
Congratulations, dear Jessica.... you are a fantastic artist indeed.
P.D.

Thank you for all the compliments! It means a lot to me! I will have to recheck my sxu stuff! I am pretty careful to check the rules, i know some downloads request notice of use and some do not....sometimes it's hard to link to all the textures! I will have to re-read my rules and keep updated. Thank you for the FYI

It's my pleasure, Jessica!
And your works are real jewels...

Love your work. I'm fairly new to this type of art work as you can tell by my gallery. Can you give me any tips? I'm at a stand still with my creativity right now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hit creative standstills pretty often! Lately what I have been doing is just browsing stock photos and seeing if anything jumps out at me as far as an idea...I am also very much still coming into my own as an artist, and I'm not sure i have a very defined styles yet. I like to do a lot of overpainting, smudging and airbrushing into any photo manip I do, it makes it a lot more surreal to me. I dunno, I guess my advice is just keep working. I have improved a lot the past two years just from consistently working on things!
