Splendid

Flowers looks like a cluster of lumps (placed there intentionally i suppose, to make look disturbing something beautiful by default)

How did you give it that grainy look and do you have an idea how someone could do that with acrylics?

I second this question. Is this photoshop noise added along with minor color adjustments to "vintage" the hues?

Belated, necro-respond. That look is achieved with Photoshop's Add noise filter, likely with these settings:

Amount: 3%
Distribution: Uniform
Monochromatic: checked

Your ideas are fantastic, and your skills too, because it looks like done on rives paper with acrylics or watercolours. Beautifull.

Oh, this is striking. Good colour scheme, and the flowers on the face together with the cubes add just the right amount of mystery and ruggedness to the sleek beauty.

FrostedMayhem [2011-04-12 16:57:17 +0000 UTC]

this is very nice;
a strange mix of the traditional (the washed, almost grainy look, coupled with the flowers), and the modern (the bold geometric shapes in the foreground)
it all contrasts rather nicely ♥

I love your combination of digital and handmade, I think you manage to beautifully balance the right amount of each to make the work strong.

pd-inc [2011-02-09 02:46:42 +0000 UTC]

This is fantastic! I love how it continually shifts from represtentation to abstract, and the slight macarbe undertone that I can't really put my finger on...
