Tag As FavoriteComment		I had some other plans for this piece to start off with, but it didn’t work out as I hoped as I would have to move away from the monochromatic look, which I kind of like.

Reference used for the girl.
Painted during 5-6 evenings in Photoshop CS2 with a Wacom Intuos tablet.


Close-ups and progress steps on my site!

*first comment twirl*

Really lovely! I wonder what she is thinking about and where she is. The expression is kind of relaxed but pensive. She doesn't look worried but still the room has a "prison" feeling to it - empty.
You know, it's very uncomfortable lying like that...

oooohhhh......... Speechless........
I absolutely love the expression on her face, so serene.......
She looks like a goddess. And the shading and the colors are undescribable! You are so great!

classic elements of beauty from the female form in motion... background tiles add to the perception of motion along with the play of light and shadow...

I swear this could be a photo. Your lighting technique is flawless. And the folds in the cloth, the texture of the tile... Wow. Not to mention the thoughtful, dreamy expression on her face. Gorgeous!

oh I really like how she so emotionless, and the cool colours just make everything feel so emotionless almost feels alluring.

I picture her in an assylum. Reminds me of "Don’t say a word" I think it was with Michael Douglas and Brittney Murphey where she keeps writing out the numbers in the air. Like everyone else, I’m amazed with your talent...especially lighting. A lot of your character portraits remind me of those used for Neverwinter Nights.

Lol I can’t help but laugh because my initials are C. C. W. But despite that, I do love the piece for its beauty.
