SciFi and Fantasy Art: Ophelia

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! ITS Samara!!!!!!!

This is crazy. I had an idea for a picture that had a girl floating in water with white hair...Weird...^.^

i'm playing both sides of the table here. One the one side i recognize how remarkably talented you are. You are diong things i couldn't never do myself that i have to respect. But on the other side this picture does show how little you know about shakespeare, As well as the trouble and peril it actually takes to drown. Unless tied up or to the bottom, a person couldn't be naked, the death couldn't be accomplished. But fabulous skills, lovely indeed.

I think it's lovely.

Ophelia's a character created by Shakespeare. Yet, she has also somehow become the "portrait", in search of a better word, of a mad girl. I know a lot of girls with eating disorders, depression, and such, and Ophelia's in their minds an idol, someone who has gone through what they are going through, maybe the only "famous" character they can relate to. Just think about it, how many other mad _girls_ you find in common literature, compared to male characters? Ophelia is the logical comparison, perhaps because she is very nearly the only one. Sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language, but I hope even some of you got the point. Ophelia's more than the daughter of Polonius in Shakespeares play, she's an archetype of certain kind of human suffering. thank you for reading this.

I would just like to say that it is simply breath-taking. Right next to Milias's Ophelia. I love it. It's strange and it's shocking.

I played Ophelia in a recent production of Hamlet, and did some very lengthy study of her character. This is a gorgeous, very haunting picture from a clearly talented artist, and it really touched me. I feel that it is more a portrait of Ophelia's spirit and soul than a literal depiction of her drowning. She's often contradicts herself as a character and it captures everything she embodies - age and youth, ugliness and beauty, serenity and distress, joy and sorrow, I could go on forever. I think it's magnificent. Take a bow!

This picture has excellent texture, and the coloring is beautiful. Your artwork is amazing. I could never do something so elaborate in Adobe, I'd lose my mind sitting there.

Question!! Is she trying to squeeze milk from her nipple? Because if she is... Eeewww!

ARGH It's a watery Gollum adn i thought that he had no hair...hmph shows wot i know
