I like the spikes on her spine, gives a painful feeling of emotional turmoil. The effect around the birds if very powerful. The only problems I've got is the background and snow. For me, it feels it doesn't fit and tie into the rest of the picture. The skin seems so soft, I have to say I love it. The end of the dress feels fake and possibly a little too much?

Over all, I think you did a very great job with this picture. Keep it up, try out new things. Work out different styles of dresses and backgrounds. Good luck!

well, please don't get attention about the star of this rate. (i don't really use these), really.

for the totally it's really cool,
for combination and also tone is very match around object and background, also some point of the dark theme (or feeling).

but i think (maybe) a light in the object that was accepted doesn't match with the shadow of this object 9i mean shadow on below the object).
it's on different field (not in the front of it).
it's come from upper (so maybe it will very awesome if you alocation this shadow near of this object (like near of her foot).

but for totally it's still, awesome!
keep your good work!

Let me put it like this ...

I'll start with the dress, because the first thing I noticed was her placement, work out like that, very average, and these patterns not bad, although the arrangement could be more fancy. Next issue is the backbone of a girl sticking out where it could be made ​​a little smoother if we are talking about the effect of blurring textures. That's a bit of wonder and he still does not know if it's sand or water? But I guess I see sand granules, as it would here is refined. Hair piled up an interesting face and the entire silhouette of the woman, but I hinted earlier, the dress, the sand and the back. Black birds, which fly out of it I think is a very good idea.

Overall this is an amazing piece of artwork. Only few can portray the image. It shows beauty and night. It's so real I feel like I can touch it. Her hair and her back spinal cord though...it seems a little fake. Other than that, it is beautiful 100%!!!!! It shows the birds and their reason. I seriously would want to hang this on my wall! It would've been even better if you could've shown a little more detail on the birds, maybe show it's shaded just not plain lack.

And again...amazing. Shows that fright and perfect beauty feel to it. Great job!

Very nice piece. I like the dress and the smoke effect with the birds. I don't like the fact that the birds are coming from her back, though. I think it would look nicer if it was from higher on her back, maybe where the curve is?

I also dislike the points on her spine. They seem to come off a bit too much.

I think the color of her hair stands out a bit to much in comparison to the monochromatic theme of the rest of the picture. Maybe a blackish-blueish hue?

Another thing is that some of the birds seem to be flying off in random directions. I think it would look more natural if they were all facing the top left corner.

My first impression on this artwork was not positive, but the more I look at this scene, zooming in and out, the more impacts there are to me. A straight line of birds ripping out of the woman's back isn't as simple as I imagined. I especially love the tangles of silk-like darkness that canker the woman's cloth. The protruding spines on her back is a nice effect, too. I love the contrast between the dark atmosphere and the woman's bright red hair. The character's hairstyle looks wacky in a way, almost if it has a mind of its own.

This seems so haunting and it's incredible! Really gorgeous work, I really love the birds emitting from her back, and the smoke amidst them! It adds the perfect effect.

The dress is beautiful, the shade of blue used somehow adds to the chilling effect really well!

As for the negatives, the spines looks slightly unusual. Though I'm sure you added that for visual affect, right? The idea is really good, I just wished it was executed a little better. Maybe if it was a little more realistic?

A portion of her hair also seems like it doesn't really belong with the other half, it's really well done but the contrast is a little distracting.

Other than that this is amazing, spectacular work!<3

The good - the colors are amazing. the subject almost looks so real. the hair is smooth and natural looking the shadows of the skin is so natural the birds are so life like. this picture is so amazing

the bad. - the things I don't like with the picture the spine that is pertruding is unnatural and I think needs to be redone and also the feathers coming off the birds look like they were a after tought and don't look like they belong. there not as detailed as the rest of the picture

overall this is a awesome picture. defeintly more talent than I will ever have. keep up the great work

i really like the way you drew this it reminds me of a book series i read called Fallen. I enjoy looking at your artwork you do very well e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/> I look forward to seeing what else you can come up with in the future keep it up. I will also view your other work as well, i wish i could have this kind of talent with my own art work. personally i dont think anything would need to be improved considering seeing stuff like this is obviously better than my own. I like the colors you use in this it helps, in my opinion to get a feel of what is going on in a picture like this. almost like reading a book, you can use your imagination to see what could be going on, if that makes sense.

So absolutely beautiful and stunning. There is so much emotion in this artwork and I simply love it. I especially love the bird silhouettes and the different effects you used. I would love to know how you were inspired to make this piece. I honestly wish I could make as beautiful and fantastic art as well as you do. I also love her hair and how much detail is put into it and the rest of the piece. It also feels like she is fighting her inner demons, but that is just my personal opinion about this art piece. Wonderful job.

This art is very stunning! I'm surprised at how amazing this is. The model looks very beautiful, not to mention the outfit. The dress is totally unique, including the hair on the model. I would have to say, this is one of the most beautiful art works I've ever seen. You really need to keep up the good work, I'm very impressed. The background is very realistic, reminds me of something I would see in a fantasy tale, or a book. Like I said, this is very impressive work, I can't wait to see more art from you, keep it up. :3

Oh another great art of you : )
First i really like the pose of the girl, that's make a great plus for the atmosphere. The whole art looks scary, really, the little work you did on her back is really scary o_o !

Did she's still human ? Beginning a monster ?

Love the birds who come from her back or danse around it ? This is really a black magic atmosphere.
Lovely details on the hairs too. The color you choose is really well compatible with the whole work.

Of course, i like the background too, the littles glows are really awesome ! So tiny and so mysterious.

Quite the spooky work. The energy of this piece flows so freely and beautifully, especially on the emerging smoky crows. The agony of the model is well chosen and makes for an interesting visual piece.

The construction of the piece seems fairly well, though some elements don't seem to mesh as well as others. Light sources seem very mixed up, especially on the hair compared to the woman's back. The bottom dress also seems lighter than her top, and blends almost into the background with little contrast.

Her spines, or perhaps her "unzipped" back, seem underdetailed, making it obvious that it's a smear effect. The shadow especially seems out of place, like a cardboard cutout of the main subject, and also gives more ambiguity to the light sources.

Though the background isn't the best, the foreground elements do have their way of popping out. Perhaps the piece would work best if the art were cut off around hip- or waist-level, thus putting more focus on the release of the crows.

This was just my opinion. I love your works very much, and hope one of these days to try some p'shoppery of my own.

Davvero bello complimenti. L'orginilatità si può migliorare ma a giudicare dalle altre deviatons si può fare. Si vede che hai espresso correttamente il tuo pensioro dentro al canvas. Non mi piace particolarmente la schiena e il corpo andava scurito un po'; solo un po'. Il ritaglio è ottimo e la composizione non è da meno. La prossima volta ti consiglio di prendere un po' di spunto da altro. Non critico altro perchè io quest'immagine non la potrei riprodurre nemmeno in 1000 anni.

Hello! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/> I see you have created another beautiful piece of art! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="392" title=" (Smile)"/>
I'll begin by saying that I really like it. The whole concept is very good (the woman - maybe in pain or suffering?) bent in two, with crows and smoke coming out of her back - it really passes to us viewers her feelings. Especially the spot of the eruption on her back is rather shocking... And the spike-like things on her back add to the pain she's feeling.
The crows and the smoke are skillfully added to the picture, and the eruption in magnificent. You have played with the light and the shadows very well, and you highlight the more important parts of the image. The woman's posture fits perfectly the concept as well.
There are three things that I feel could be improved (remember this is just my opinion e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="392" title=" (Smile)"/> ) :
a) Her hair. Maybe they do not have enough shadows, or maybe they need more stray strands - I'm not sure, but I feel they look a little bit fake. (The hairdo is amazing, btw e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="395" title=" (Lick)"/>)
b) Her dress. Her dress looks AWESOME - but: the lace that goes among the folds looks like it has been copied, pasted, and then reversed to fit both the left and right side of her dress (or, actually, back and front of her dress). In a real dress, the folds can't be identical back and front - and indeed you haven't made them identical - however the lace really looks copied and pasted. I'm sure you could easily improve this by distorting it a bit in certain places.
c) Finally, her shadow: it looms over the beach, but I feel it looks a bit fake... I think it should be tilting a bit more towards the left part of the picture, and maybe, it should be more blurred the further it is from the woman.
All in all, it's an awesome picture, skillfully done, and you should keep up with the good work! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

I really like your drawing style, very nice and very realistic! The birds coming out also give a lot of impact on the viewers of the art piece!

The spines sure are creepy e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="556" title="Noes!"/> but this piece is still elegant!

The birds though they don't look as realistic as the rest of the image. Same goes with the spines? but all in all, you still did a wonderful job

Maybe next time add a little details on the birds to make it more realistic. The spines are okay though but the tips don't look so real as well. But I think this still looks good e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="93" title="XD"/> I'm sorry if this isn't very helpful since I have no experience with photomanipulations but I sure can see if it looks realistic or not e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/m… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="578" title="Meow :3"/>

Anyway, I still love the details on this one e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

From the "spikes" on her back to the cold, lonely background, this is clearly a peace of artwork that took planning and the utmost care to create. She looks almost as if she is made out of water, which is quite creative. The ravens flying down almost as if to feed on all the miserable-ness she is so clearly feeling makes for a dark, emotional piece which has earned a spot in my favorites. Amazing. Just so very very amazing. Breathtaking, spectacular, beautiful, dark. These are only a few words I can think of to describe this amazing piece. Well done.

The Good:
Wow. I love the concept of this work. The way she is bent lends itself to the way the birds are posed. The sky is pretty looking as well. I also like the black mist around the birds and how it blends together. Lastly I like the color of her hair with the blues, blacks, and purples of the rest of the image.

The Not-so-good:
First thing I notice that could use a little work is her back where the spikes of skin are. I think that area is a little too blurry and it looks a little unnatural to me. I'm not really sure how to fix this other then adding shading on them so the blend in with the rest of her skin. Next is the ground. What is it? I'm not sure if its water or part of a dessert. Maybe place her more into the scene for a better sense of place.

Special Notes: Thanks for reading this and I hope there are no hard feeling. I really think this is a beautiful work and I know you'll get better. Best of luck to you!
