sdavis75  02/06/07 @059

To favs!! Stunning work, Diane! +10

Juro  02/06/07 @064

Great work, although the girls/artwork is in danger of looking similar to the last. Push into new territory when you feel the urge Excellent work Diane.

cnell  02/06/07 @065

WHOA! a quickie? lol! this is fantastic! there are so many elements i like here.. the background, her fur collar, the bird..just to name a few. if i had to name anything negative it would be to leave out the jewels in her forehead and the "wrinkles" (?) under them. i think those *might* be overkill but the rest is for me to lust for!!! claudia

Diane  02/06/07 @067

Yeah, you're right Glenn I just don't feel like doing something else for now.... this one was just meant to be a hair tut at first Maddagone : 7 hours = painting+sketching. I've spent 6 hours on the painting and 1 on the sketch Thank you very very much btw artists, I was a little bit ashamed of posting this since it's a quickie without any meaning but I'm really glad you like it!

Madanapale  02/06/07 @067

Wonderful !!!.....Love the colors and details! Great work Diane!.....top marks! Carlos

Diegoth  02/06/07 @067

OOh WOw! Now I see what that tutorial was for! Excellent!

Andy--Jones  02/06/07 @071

wicked work for 6 hours! I see where the hand is slightly off it's just the first knuckle of the index finger should appear shorter than the middle fingers first knuckle...but that is it! I love that strand of hairs draped over the horn. Keep it up Diane.

Maddagone  02/06/07 @075

6 hours *cough* *gasp*

Diane  02/06/07 @077

In fact, it's not so detailed, all the "details" are only small brushtrokes that make it look very detailed but it's not. The fur has been done very quickly, the bird too... The bg is a 5 minutes thingie. It's not so hard to do, it's just that I do this kind of work very often

loneorbit  02/06/07 @094

The style although rushed is pretty consistent through out this piece. Jewels that adorn her feel right at home in their positioning, those draped across horns appear relatively flat in comparison. Her expression (notably eyes) pull you in as she gazes upon bird, which looks right back at her. The bird itself is nice and expressively rendered, but it appears to have no claws holding branch. Other than that a well done piece.

ADY  02/06/07 @095

Amazing!!! +9/9

Diane  02/06/07 @099

Thank you the claws are meant to be hidden by the body I know that some parts are flat, I really didn't have time and will to push it further, I wanted it to stay a "speedpainting" I'll try to do better next time

MustafaTaskin  02/06/07 @129

very nice work

Saimain  02/06/07 @132

Very striking! I love her face and how her hair becomes the horns. Her eyes are gorgeous, too. ^_^ Beautiful lighting! ...and this only took you seven hours? o_O

JordanRoots  02/06/07 @143

I think she does not look like you, which is a good thing. She's very beautiful., when I saw the tutorial, I thought this would make a nice painting, and it became one, very well done Diane. The mouth is very cool, her eyes are piecing, her expression is peaceful mixed with anxiety. I wonder how you do that. +10 for sure!

Wallace  02/06/07 @148

Stunning! The part I love the most are her lips Great textures and almost unreal considering the limited time The only thing I can notice are the lightbeams which really look rushed Besides that its fantastic + 10

Penraeth  02/06/07 @159

You have a great imagination Diane.

ARZILLIER66  02/06/07 @217

Amazing work Diane! Cool textures, cool colors, cool character +10

Amazing Max Points +7/7 Nice tutorial btw

JeffMD  02/06/07 @499

vous êtes si doué ! travail très bon ! impressionnant ! 7/7

ahwayakchih  02/06/07 @516

Awesome! I like the idea of horns made out of hair - i think i saw it only once before in "The Cell" movie (weak movie with horrible acctress, but visually beautiful sceneries). The only thing i like less in this painting are those orangish dots floating. If they were ment to be "magical lights" they are not enough "blinking light". I don't know... they look kinda "flat". If they were ment to be a "dust" of some sort then they are too big. +7/7

klungsama  02/06/07 @517

Diane <3 Looks amazing! ^^

SandraS  02/06/07 @543

Fantastic! Doesn't look rushed at all. It looks lovely. I especially love her eyes. (Gaaawd you're so skilled!) I wish I'd give you a better comment but I wil leave speachless.

beatrizmatar  02/06/07 @629

Just gorgeous+10

Diane  02/06/07 @650

Thank you very very very much for your comments and crits! I really didn't expect such a warm response for this painting, thank you so much! I know that the finger looks off, the "magical lights" things could be brighter (I've tried but it detracted from the main figure) and the horns could have used some more work... Maybe I'll finish it someday For now it's a quick painting or a very worked sketch Thank you very very much!

Cigaro  02/06/07 @657

i just love those yellow specks in the air and her lips points baby!

zahara  02/06/07 @669

Thank God this is a quickie!!!! LOL!!! Fabulous piece of art..luv it...(top marks)

leloops  02/06/07 @683

whooo blew me off once again! my only crit would be the rubies on the forehead require some sort of embedded look into her skin =) but hey, who am i? ehehe +10 of course =DD

anastasia  02/06/07 @693

One more impressive work from you! I like it even i dislike horns and pointy nails.... You wrote that your painting has no particular meaning, but i can see that something comes from it... It's like you are trying to say that dark creatures have still a nice part in them. I see a painful expression to her while she touches the bird. Like she is remembering a beauty and love she once have but lost... I believe that you may didn't planned any of this... it's amazing though how art can ''speak'' to each one of us...

Avantis  02/06/07 @717

wow Diane nice work! I really like how the dramatic atmosphere and the light is hitting the back of her head and howm it contrasts with the calmness of the bird. top marks!

tomato04  02/06/07 @720

don't know what to say it's just awesome!! especially her face! and the bird is just wonderful! =D

Daykan  02/06/07 @837

oooohh wow!! I´ts beautiful!!!!!! Amazing work!!!

ZedoCaixao  02/06/07 @841

Great painting, Diane! Nice details and colors!

CocoNoir  02/06/07 @856

For a 'quickie' it's damn good! God I couldn't do it in ten times the amount of hours... Favs are the bird, her eyes and the spots. The hair looks also awfully good!! Creepy stuff...

Illumirage  02/06/07 @889

Once again, proving how you're the best of the best around here.

Dejanira  02/06/07 @968

*GASP* Stunning work as usual! But I agree with trying something new. You're doing so amazingly well with these scenarios, trying something new will sharpen you're skills even more. I'd like to see something really ugly or weird come in, since your works are all so beautiful 8/8

acida  02/07/07 @015

Again, gorgeous work! It was well worth the effort to finish it up. I've added it to my favorites here on GFX and on DA. ^_^

Sangimber  02/07/07 @349

Gianna23  02/12/07 @738

his is one of the BEST charcter designs I have ever seen. I love it!!! Great work. The hair is great. I always love it when I can feel and see the imagination going into a piece of artwork. Fantasy at its best really!

ZissorS  02/12/07 @989

I'M YOUR FAN XD

Sanjana  02/13/07 @149

beautiful character design! She somehow seems a teensy bit sad and wistful

mysticcat  02/13/07 @176

Why the hell didn't I notice this work of yours Diane ??? Though I don't like black cosmetics I can't deny this is gorgeous !!! Her hair, the details on her skin, and the bird, etc are all incredibly elaborate and subtle. +9/9

I love your style!! the composition is amazing & really well thought!! On ressent trés bien la douceur des plumes, et la femme donne l'impréssion quelle est en train d'arrêter le temps c'est vraimen trés beau!! **the flowers are absolutely lovely** because they make an interesting contrast with some very detailed part of the painting. the color range is really well chosen, c'est magnifique

Perfect just perfect +10

slickgreekgeo  02/21/07 @549

Excellent work, you improved your painting skills tremendously. Amazing work. Also, a tip: Avoide side view as much as possible (bird for example); For some reason, it flattes out a painting a bit. +10 well earned.

killadore  02/21/07 @707

glad to see it finished the hair/horns are awesome.

Hysteria  02/22/07 @393

this is artwork of urs is my least favorite ~ Can't describe it exactly... i don't like the character, somehow it just feels plastic-ish and empty to me ...

bigrod  02/25/07 @582

i love your style, all the detail and colour and composition and everything. The only thing: I don't quite believe the woman is looking at the bird, her gaze seems wrong somehow.
