WOW! She is absolutely beautiful! She kind of has an almost exotic look to her. The whole scene looks so real! It's incredible! The tree. The TREE! So amazing! The grass and the leaves are so cool! I love her outfit too! Her boots are so awesome! I wish I had some! Wonderful! Excellent! Huzzah! You are a great artist! Congrats on the MOD! I would be so honored if you could possibly drop by my gallery sometime, if your not too busy that is. You have a wonderful talent! Keep up you amazing work James! ~Evil Vampiress 2

Wow, your pic is amazing! I love the colors and shading you did! Not being an artist myself, I can't give you a reputable yay or nay regarding technique, but this picture is definitely my favorite. The only issue I have is that her right arm looks a little "manly", perhaps a little muscular in contrast to the beautiful, graceful lines you've created. Overall, it's lovely. Great job!

Beautiful blending of technique! It's inspiring to see such a seamless blend of computer and traditional media. Too often the addition of one tends to detract or disrupt the other but you have done it so flawlessly! *Smile* I'll stop now before I embarrass myself. Bravo!

very good! But the heels, are they not perhaps.. a disadvantage? Even tough, great pic! Congrats on the mods2

I absolutely LOVE the tree! And the background..wow...nice tough those leaves. And the composition is great...she looks like shes running/hiding from someone. Only thing I wouldn't have done is the heals...But then again I dont know if she knew she would be running when she put them on 12
And I think her fore arm is a little bit to thick..
Really like that background tho...

personally, i think the cg bg works well in this pic. that isn’t true very often, but the various shades of grey blend in very well with the graphite. you did a good job with this piece. hooray for photoshop!

The tree is exquisitely detailed. I love it! And the rest of the picture is good too. LOL. But I have a thing for trees and this is just gorgeous.
