Description
savant, from the french "knowing"Made using the following stock by ~NicklausseStock
[link]
also, background texture by `lockstock

----
Digital paint/photomanip of the above stock, in photoshop.
Such a gorgeous pose and and equally great model, this made for a stunning vibe in the piece. I wanted a very serene, but deep image achieved with the use of the dark blood reds.
My favourite colours, black and red

I feel this is a rather strong image which has a distinct feeling of walking a line between realism and fantasy...both in terms of being near photo-realistic as well as having a strange sense of being airbrushed. It's a curious combination but it works well in this scenario.
I also really like the detail in subtle elements like the eyes and the choker.
The shirt, though, feels a little bit too dark. It could be a color profile issue on my end, but from a head-on angle the shirt looks outright black with no detail. However, if I tilt my screen I can see that the shirt is intended to be a more dark-maroon tone. To that end, I can suggest the shirt maybe be bumped up a little bit in tone so the details are slightly more visible.
Lastly, the nose looks odd. I think my major issue with the nose is that it fades into the skin far more than I think is normal. The trunk of the nose is essentially gone and isn't casting a shadow. I get that the trunk is intended to be small, but the lack of a shadow from it is just odd.
Still, despite that small gripe I feel this is an excellent piece and I'm quite impressed by it.

Hum, maybe not.
"Savant" is used for "scientist", "someone who has the knowledge", but for someone who knows something, for example a secret, it's "sachant".
But it's almost never used without precising what is known (we said "knowing this, knowing that" "sachant ceci, sachant cela").
By the way, "savant" for a woman is "savante"...
Anyway, great work, deep colours and a great look of the model.

Awesome manip; I love the red around her eyes the most I think, it makes the thumb and piece really stand out.
She reminds me a bit of those porcelain dolls.

This is one of my favorite works of yours. Not overly gory but just enough to be extremely wary. hehe

A pizza pan texture?
So I take it the red on her lips is just well-seasoned tomato sauce?
