I love the eyes, it I feel like something is being stolen from her. Nice, I cant tell you waht its missing! neways nice job!

Park  06/25/06 @922

Hm...betrachtet man ihr nasenbein liegen ihre Augen zu tief und dadurch wirkt das Gesicht zu stark zusammengedrückt. Außerdem wirken die Augen allgemein irgendwie pberladen mit den ganzen glasigen Schein. Der Mund ist vlt. 'n bisschen groß für ihren schmalen Kiefer. Wahrscheinlich solltest du's wieder spiegeln damit's besser aussieht. Krieg ich jetzt'n Keks? Oder zwei? ^^

Azurelle  06/25/06 @925

Hm ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob das mein Problem komplett beheben wird muss ich mal ausprobieren. Probiere gerade eine andere Komposition au und fands so rum gespiegelt momentan auch besser. Edit: heh, also der Tip mit dem Nasenbein war echt gut due kriegst ne Kekspackung ^-^

Ah, there are some really lovely aspects of this painting, yet my feelings are somewhat mixed. Perhaps this is because the picture itself appears conflicted: you have these gorgeously rendered--if I didn't know better, I'd say photographic--eyes and mouth coupled with carelessly drawn ribbons or straps--and everything in between in terms of degree of polish. I've seen some wonderful results from mixing crisp, fully rendered focal points with blurrier areas, but I think the disparity is too great here, especially since the content is very simple and straightforward. Just my opinion on the matter, of course. I'm also not quite satisfied with the composition; yes, it's a portrait, but I feel that her head is a little too centered. Anyway, you've proven that you can do some stunning work with this one--those eyes and lips are so drool/melt-inducing--but I hunger for more!

oca  06/25/06 @926

cool painting, i think you've done a great work (agree with Inabottle about the eyes, I like her look), and also like the hair ... I don't know much of painting, but if something's missing, i think it is sharpness, specially around the hair; and the hole figure mixes very smoothly with the background.... I would also work more in the background and the body (it's like too smooth and shiny).... mmh... maybe the left part (her right) of the nose looks a bit weird, but it's a detail.... that's my opinion, I hope it helps.......... but overall, I think it's a very nice paiting

beatrizmatar  06/25/06 @934

Perhaps is the background.I think grey don´t match to well with the image, But is a beautiful painting

SandraS  06/25/06 @935

come on.... talk english please.

Cigaro  06/25/06 @951

those clothes on them dont go pretty well with the rest of the piece, not the same texture and blurr like the overall piece...her face is aweome though

smartdesyr  06/26/06 @971

cabotinecco  06/26/06 @130

I like the hair and the skill very much!：〉

yerffej  06/26/06 @131

Umm...this looks like Natalie Portman.I can't believe no one else has pointed this out yet.Be nice if you'd say you used a photo of her for reference.I agree witht the other crits and overall,it's a very nice piece.

Azurelle  06/26/06 @138

Oh yes yerffej. For every character we (our working group) have pointed out a celeb sothat everyone knows what they look like. For this girl we chose Keira Knightly and Natalie Portman Tis linked up above now in a nice tutorial

klyph  06/26/06 @295

Perfect! +9/9 top marks here - you are so cool! I like this one better than your last one. No crits yet, I can't think of anything... May I still have a cookie?

TheKing78  06/26/06 @437

Great! I love it!

Crow  06/26/06 @456

Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt is one of the best metal songs ever.. though I don't understand a word, but the music rocks.

small-serenity  06/26/06 @507

whoa, very pretty. I like the fringe and the eyes and the lips. Very realistic! Max points!

curlyhair  06/26/06 @515

The compo is not very original,you know - it lackes a dramma in a layout) And background doesn't make anything to the whole atmosphere..Her hair seem to be unfinished - even if you did it for purpose,it still need some work on,as well as her nose.Her dress could use some detailes too.. I love her expression.Eyes're awesome and mouth's great and very expressive Nise skin tones, probably you could add more of the blue bg at the shadow on her neck, I'm not sure 7+

Daykan  06/26/06 @668

oooooooooooooohhhhhhhh it´s beautiful!!!!!!!! really nice!! Well done , Azu!

Azurelle  06/26/06 @682

Curly: Adding more blue to the neck well THAT'S a good idea! I def have to try it!! Thanks Edit: Okay I added in some blue. This works

jmBoekestein  06/26/06 @682

I really like the soft rendering on this. very beautiful girl as well. (thumbsup)

Madanapale  06/26/06 @723

Good work Seline!!....Beautiful skin tones....great fatial feautures!! Well done! Carlos

bakatron  06/27/06 @180

you know this is absolutely wonderful. i love the way youre progressing as an artist but its missing a bit of finishing. the face is wonderfully crisp and alluring but then when you get to the rest of the body and its sort of blurred out. this could have been a really awesome noveau-rembrandtesque painting.

Azurelle  06/27/06 @181

Hm, yes I added some blur to keep the focus more on the face :S

seeThrou  06/27/06 @190

I know I know, she is missing me standing right next to her, with the biggest smile you have ever scene! Azurelle her eyes are captivating, and I love the soft edges, it's wonderful in everyway.

JESR  06/27/06 @230

woow she looks very nice i like her eyes expression. +10/10

Diegoth  06/27/06 @325

Just excellent!

pegahoul  06/27/06 @470

Cool! Cool! Face's perfect, don't know about the dress though

Mihai  06/27/06 @905

Beautiful eyes! Beautiful expression! Great work!

Abstractor  06/28/06 @222

I love this work, it's a very sensitive, touching work. The emotion pours from her eyes, the soft BG and the slightly blured areas just enhance this mood and emotion for me. I'm drawn instantly into the work, as if I'm sitting with her, comforting her. Beautiful my friend, Keith

Azurelle  06/28/06 @229

Thank you so much Keith! You know what that's meaning for me to hear this from you.

ThruMyEyez  06/28/06 @386

What a beautiful face!! Great work with the hair and I like the textures of the dress. Really lovely!

blackshad  06/28/06 @614

this is beautiful and well done i think chickenfingers sumarized the critics and i agree with him great job

ARTOONATOR  06/28/06 @903

Nice. It needs some strength, darken the hair, and send me that cookie.

MorningStar  06/30/06 @471

A very haunting portrait. I love it. +10

a HUGE stone hanging from that beautiful neck. An amber or a jade...? Beautiful painting. ^_^ I envy your talent! <3 Wings

the-real-Kamui  07/02/06 @646

wow . i'm very glad and relieved that someone like you "needs" references too Q_Q'

uncannyman  07/14/06 @299

Awesome Job Azurelle..what I saw was that you seemed to focus on the face and everything around seems out of focus and less detailed! ok... where's my cookie!

FreeWingStudios  07/16/06 @229

Lovely eyes and lips.

Azurelle  07/17/06 @242

Uncanny: That was on purpose, but I can still give you a cookie

microbe  07/17/06 @662

Great work~ aspects really lovely

ARTYESTILO  07/19/06 @228

Very beautifull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vamp4444  07/19/06 @322

Lovely!

Carpet-Crawler  07/31/06 @627

Wow....those eyes......can't stop looking at them. Marvelous work Seline, can't critic anything.

JordanRoots  08/04/06 @156

Wow! she looks SO realistic. Is it a picture? no just kidding. She gorgeous. The main crit I have is that I think her ear is a bit too blurry . She looks like she'S about to cry, that she has just been announced something awful. Perfect hair! 9+

supermegaisrael  08/10/06 @207

Good work.

temptation  08/12/06 @383

The eyes are breathtaking.

soheil  10/01/06 @360

nice work +10

anastasia  10/04/06 @455

Very well done! I like her eyes and her face very much. You gave her so real expression... I think the colors are the most suitable to express the whole mood...

dullboy-d  12/07/06 @550

Exellent, you are very skillfull

XeHackNo  03/09/07 @663

I like the title. Rammstein is one of my favorite bands She is very beautiful nothing really needs to be added, but her neck muscles and the indent just under her throat could have been more prominent.

ToKra  03/12/07 @464

I was going to give it +8 until i read your profile, which was telling me to nice one

Penraeth  03/12/07 @851

+8 put this at 500 Of course you just got elite status so...

Azurelle  03/12/07 @862

So what? Ahaahaha, thank you

padrino  03/14/07 @577

nanno  05/19/07 @455

wowwww,,her eyes is breath takening,,,, i agree that what she's wearing is not in the mode of the whole scene,,,its just for me and i'm sorry that u wont publish anymore,,,i dont know what's going on in the site with all problems that u said,,but it would be a great loss if u leave this site,,,,hope u change ur mind soon noha

RustyWings  07/16/07 @869
