EDIT:
So I ended up getting 2nd in the county wide contest I entered this in. There were 4 categories for ages 18-30, paint, black and white, sculpture, and mixed media. I entered this in the Mixed media and what beat me was a combination of watercolor and foam 3D mountain picture. I guess when you are competing with about 1000 people this isnt really a bad placing, but it kind of burned that the winner's picture wasnt really impressive, it was litteraly just single colored mountain shapes glued on top of each other with different foam thickness.

Too bad my scanner sucks and doesn't do the real picture justice... The colors are much more vibrant as are the shadows and tones... Looks MUCH better in real life...

Well anyways... I LOVE how this turned out. Probably the roses or tapestries are my favorite. I tell you what, trying to get a design in so many folds to lay right IS NOT fun lol.

All of it is done with Prisma markers, except the gold embroidery on the guys coat and on the tapestries, as well as the buttons and her broach. Those are done with a metallic marker, (brand I don't know, label has been rubbed off for a while ) with Prisma overlays for shading and tones. I thought the metallic effect would be a nice touch, since I am entering this in a county art contest. I used a little black Prisma pencil for deeper shading in some areas, and white for the moonlight glow around things and a little lightening of some small areas. Stars are white paint.

This is my 2nd... Yes that is correct, 2nd attempt at using Prisma markers or Copic markers. I figured if I really wanna get my time in with practicing, to go big or not at all.

PLEASE tell me what you think!! I would love some REAL input on this, not just the little 2 word comments.

Overall the picture is very beautiful! Amazing outfit on the female and the male! I particularly like the butterfly ontop the of the woman's head! Over the backround is very good! While I didn't like the wilting tree as I feel it takes away from the picture I loved the detailing in the curtains. The only other thing that seems off was the man's glove holding the curtain. I can't quite put my figure on it but something about it seemed off. But overall a beautiful picture! It caught my attention right away! Ha ha! I used all 100 words!

i think this is a really beautiful piece.. like WOW! C: it completely blows my mind with just how pretty and vivid the colors are. The oufits are really beautiful and i especially love the use of the flowers and butterfly on the woman's dress. their anatomy is proportional (which is sometimes hard for people) and the backround has so much detail in it.... i dont know exactally how much time you put into the piece, but i can clearly see that is wasn't something you just threw together like that. this picture has an amazing amount of effort showing on it and all i can really say is that i absolutely love it

i'm not one of your watchers or anything (just saw one of your pictures from Voleros and started poking around you gallery) but as a random passerby i can say that it looks TERRIFIC! you did a great job on it!

I thought corsets made you look skinnier around the waist . . .?

corsets do around the waist but this isnt a corset think of it more as a leotard with a low rimmed skirt

Well, you use a lot of very bright colors, which I personally don't mind, though it might get to others. I SO BADLY WANT SOME COPICS WAHHH -ahem, irrational outburst. Anyways, take another look at the guy's lips. They are angled strangely for the tilt of his head. (Like he's tilting his head down, not up.) And the girl looks a little like she's pregnant you might want to work with some darker shading up the left side of her dress. Also, the guy's ear is tilted too far forward. We should be able to see some of the inside of his ear. However, I love the atmosphere of the piece! I can't do surroundings and backgrounds. So yeah, there's my little critique, saw you wanted comments and didn't have any, so.

thank you for the critque!
I see what you mean by the guys ear and lips, but the girls dress is a corset style on a voluptuous figure and most voluptuous figured women who wear similar styles look similar

as for shading, i only have so many colors that would look right when added so i am stuck on that XD
