"Ascension" by Min ´Keiiii´ Kwon

Gorgeous. Especially given the time frame. But good criticism only boosts your self confidence, and since you've gotten plenty of that (from myself included) I just wanted to point out that if you ever care to revisit this piece, the woman's head looks a bit awkward, proportionally, when compared to the rest of her body, as well as in the angle, color, and level of detail. Keep it simple, and remember: don't always draw what you know (in this case, side profiles). Try taking a photo of yourself with your body twisted in that angle, you'll find that the head will naturally tilt away, and since the light source is in the distance, she shouldn't be looking ahead/up, but away and over to it, if that makes sense. Sorry if I sound harsh. It really is a wonderful piece.

Min 'Keiiii' Kwon replies: "No, you weren't being harsh at all. You're actually the first person to realize that it's her head whose angle is off -- not the rest of her body. (Everyone else thought her torso was off, assuming the head to be correct) The head was drawn correctly in the sketch -- I had planned to draw it in the same angle as the body -- but I kind of forgot about it when I started coloring. ^^; But that's okay... I'll do better next time, hopefully. "

Wow! Amazing. Surely pretty Reminds me of a scene from the Last Unicorn. I love the coloring

Look, mommy! A flying fish!

Sweet! I also drew a mermaid-angel. Love comparing it, you made it WAY better. GZ for mods

Birds symbolise peace, so souls are getting peaceful Nice pic!

You just wanted to paint something pretty? Um.... You painted something GORGEOUS!
I love this pic, the lighting is amazing, and the water looks so realistic! You captured this beautifully, keep it up!

This is such a beautiful piece! I love the colours and the lighting. It’s such a wonderful concept too... I’m speechless.

This is gorgeous! I love the idea and it is so well executed... the colours, her expression, the whole feeling of the piece. I am in awe!

Looks wonderful. =)

XD I love this picture, it’s so lovely. You have wonderful talent! The colours you use always compliment each other, and your style is breathtaking, always expressing deep feeling.
I just quickly want to clarify something though - the fish symbolism isn’t of christian origin, even though some claim it. It’s more the roman origin, and I’m not even sure if it’s originally from there anyway... just so you know =3 actually, a lot of modern christianity is derived from ancient mythology - a method they used to attract people to the religion in the 3-5th centuries, loosely quoted of course.
