SciFi and Fantasy Art The bride by Christine Unteregger

It is the morning of her marriage. She is brushed and combed by her sister and friend, and her mother crowns her with a flower wreath. Then the excited bride will be led upon the hill, where she is awaited by her lover and husband to be.... One of the few pictures with background and everything of me. The picture is rather small (A4 size) for the details in it. Also through scanning a lot was lost. Enjoy it and let me know what you think of it!

4 Aug 1999	The artist	Loading... They are hard working women, they need their muscles. Btw I think what makes them so compact is the fact, that I tried to make their torso deeper (seen from the side) so it looks more like the neck of a horse (and the human parts not so stuck on the equine part unnaturally). I think that is a very different point of view - and maybe unusual for the most of you.
5 Aug 1999	Daniel Routhier	Loading... Very nice foreground, with the details and all. Very very good composition
21 Sep 1999	Cynthia L. Reep	Loading... Quite nice, I think. there's something a little funny about the human parts, but I can't quite pick out what it is .. and your comment does bear notice, it's true. Anyways.. I'm especially taken by the heron in the foreground. That plumage is just grand! Great detailing. I think my only real criticism is that I'd like to see more shadow. I think it would help define the "layers" a bit more and push the heron out and the centaurs back, so that the relative size isn't such a drastic shift. It's clear to me what's going on with te bird in front, but it would be even clearer with more shading.
25 Sep 1999	Marie. E. Bird	Loading... Oooooh excellent details and foreground, just looking at the comments here, well if you look at the musculature of a horse, I don't think you can have skinny human forms just plonked in there, I like the fact that they are much more defined like that, Well done again, keep up the good work and bright imagination! ^_^
8 Oct 1999	A. Boee	Loading... The foreground is brilliant... I like the entire concept of the picture really. It's cool.
2 Aug 2000	Anon.	Loading... I really like this. I especially like the horse part of these Centauresses. Alot of artists I've seen make the legs look odd, or somethingl ike that, but I really like this. And I also think that the bird and dragon fly are wonderfull.
22 Feb 2001	James Burns	Loading... I love the one on the far right, seeing a centauress from behind gives her a certain reality, (as I have never seen from that angle before) -- what else to say? Almost perfect, very beautiful ladies too... ;-)

11 Oct 2002	Abigail Barbara Fay	Loading... How magnificent! This is an absolutely goregous picture! It looks just like centaurs should look, in my opinion. Very connected to nature, totally natural, and without human lust. The bride looks so happy, and so do her friends!
1 Sep 2003	Lucius Appaloosius	Loading... The fact that they have worked so hard may explain why they seem a little stiff; however, I do agree with your rendition of the human-to-equine transition zone. The "centaurettes" that one often sees generally look too artificial, with impractically tiny waists....
