" Closing his eyes, David pinched the bridge of his nose in confusion as he willed the illusion to fade. But when he opened his eyes again, the sentient looking being was still sprawled on the forest floor in front of him. He could see her breathing, the gentle rise and fall of her chest and the faint pulse at the base of her neck. She really was the most breathtaking creature he had ever beheld and why should she not be, since she was from his imagination? With hair dark as a raven’s wing and just as graceful. Granted, it was strewn with twigs and leaves from the surrounding forest, but the messiness of it only made her look that much more angelic. Her face held graceful curves, soft valleys and gentle sloping hills. David found himself inexplicably wondering what color her eyes were and whether they would match the creaminess of her complexion or the dark satin of her hair. Her face was inexorably beautiful, but his gaze was drawn back again and again to the wings that curved out from beneath her."

Fragment of "At World's End" by Lindsay Verde.

I liked this pic; I know it has some mistakes, but I still like it. This was a request & gift for Lindsay; hope you liked it.
Done in Photoshop CS2

Hi Karu! This is beautiful. Technical issues aside, it is a wonderful concept with good composition, nice environment and beautiful pose. I hope you will take the time to fine tune this one, it just looks unfinished, almost like you had a deadline to meet and had to stop too soon. I would be happy to help if you would like, but I bet that you could make the necessary adjustments if you take a little more time with it.

Impressive. The character’s outfit and expression are flawless, as always.

The problem is that the background doesn’t integrate very well with the drawing. They do not look like a whole, but as separate pieces pasted together.

Now, I do value the effort. Pics with a BG are greater than floating characters.

Beautiful work! If I may give a critique though, the girl doesn’t really seem to be part of the environment. She looks as though she was cut and paste from some other image. Other than that, lovely work 2

:-) Karu Hernandez replies: "Yeah... As one of my first pics with CG background it’s completely a mess XD. But well, practice makes the master 1
Thankee for the comment 1"

Great hair, as always. Beautiful angel.1 I always confused with wings21 hehe... I don’t know where to place the feathers so they looks neat.

:-) Karu Hernandez replies: "Thankee ^^ Nowadays I don’t like this pic a lot, but well, still take it here so I can see my progress & everybody too ^^
:gives a cookie to you: Glad you like! 1"
