SciFi and Fantasy Art: It's all Pointless

Argh, I'm blind! Like a stare gazer blinded by the superficial city lights. I had to print it out before I realized that it's not just the clothes which are painted, but the artist herself (even the hair has the tell tail drops of wet paint). But she didn't just make herself the canvas, she IS the painting! It is not the artist that creates the painting, but the painting which creates the artist. Either that or it's speaking about how we paint a false exterior trying to become something we are not (like a woman wearing makeup or a guy padding his shorts). Either way, I think I'll just shut up and enjoy.

All your art is truely amazing. Somehow this creature an artist made by her art stirs my soul. It is a true sorrow to wish to be known only to be left in the shadows of that which we create.

I find that your artwork is highly becoming. your furthered efforts in this field will bring satisfaction to you and your fans

This really is a very original peice - I am very impressed. One point of feedback: the angle of her hips do not match up with her upper body, as your eye follows the hand between the breasts, down to her navel, the hips are "turned" too far to the viewers right. Possibly shifting the belly button a little to the right might fix it?

However, I don't want to detract from the passion of the peice, just noticed it so thought, as the point of posting the art is to share and get feedback, that I would...

Ok, I'm thoroughly depressed now.










Nice pic, by the way.

Well, the system just ate my comment, but what I said was that I think just about *every* artist/writer/performer goes through times like this. Times when it all just doesn't seem worth the effort. I wonder if it's because we see and feel the world around us so much more intently, so the world's sadness resonates deeply within us?

I love and adore this picture. But... hmm... stare... I don't know why but I have the feeling that she tried to paint herself new again. The hair, the body and the tattoos on her body... Like to transform herself into somebody or something else so the pain goes away... But she did not succeed... That's all from me, I would be great-full if you would comment my comment.. hi hi... sounds weird, doesn't it!! KEEP ON PAINTING, CHERYL YOU ARE MARVELOUS!!! Kiss... Akasha

Wow!! this is really good the pose reminds me of "The Birth of Venus" It's an excellent picture your amazing!

Dear Cheryl,

You strike a resonance with all artists
when you say and paint your soul - it does hurt,
like no other pain can, when you are treated as
invisible and unvalued. Confucious said that we
maturely would be better off refining our already
refined skills to our own higher standards.
-and another artist has said "It is not easy to find happiness within one's self, and it is not possible
to find it anywhere else."
You have everything you need - You may not be recognized
by the people or institutions that are currently around you
that is due to their lack of discernment - and no fault of yours.
I would wish that you follow your positive spirit
and enjoy the maturity of knowing the true value of your self and your talents. The world will find you.
