Description Sometimes a hurt can be so strong as to never heal...

... even if it's only a memory...

NOTE: I've been placed under orders by Jolene and Jenny to post this or they threaten bodily harm I was originally not planning on even SAVING it, but... anyhow here we go

This was just practicing, but I think it turned out well, really. I love how surreal it feels to me, and I had a great time making it. Its as close as i can get to what I was planning for it hehe

FULLVIEW RECOMMENDED OR YOU GET NO COOKIE!

Feedback on this one is critical for me, guys. Love? Hate? Fav? Flame?

very very nice and ghostly..kind of like someone's ghost reappearing to their original place. I really love it, once again. the only thing i dont like much is that the rest of her transparent body is showing beneath the ground. duno maybe maykes it a bit too superficial. anyway, still a great piece you are really improving i love your ideas and style!

heheh actually though the colors make it hard to tell, it was intended to be water that she was in

but yeha like i said i know i made a lot of mistakes on that one, but it was a learning experience, and i was demanded to post

Thanks Tina!

This is beautiful work man! My only gripe is that she just sorta becomes transparent.....or is that desired?

............Yeaaaa no. to me, it just looks to....ugh, is the only way I can discribe it, at the bottom, the water, looks more like...dirt..and possibly smoke, eye gets drawn to the tree, when it should be the girl that is the focal point....and that black line on the edge of the water (tree root?) looks to out of palce there....I dunno, sorry to say but this just doesn't appeal to me very much, much prefer your other stuff, dissapointed

Faraleigh [2004-04-02 22:22:16 +0000 UTC]

*snatches her cookie and hungrily devours it* It does have a rather surreal feeling to it, possibly because of the bleak sky. ^^ It fits the idea quite well... the dead tree adds a lot to the whole feel.

SpiralSpring [2004-04-02 22:01:54 +0000 UTC]

full view rocks. i just really want a cookie

this is a really great manip, ira. are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is her reflection in the water too? if so, that is SO..cool. (i think i need to expand my vocabulary.)

This is a great manipulation. I really like the rural themes placed in it. What's especially notable on this piece is the blending job you did on the model in the water. I really like how you incorporated that.

Ogotay [2004-04-02 14:50:45 +0000 UTC]

This is really good.. Composition is nice, although I would prefer the tree to be further away so the focus would end up on the lady instead.

Great idea here! The only thing I can see that isn't all to well is the transformation from lady to water.. The reflection is awesome, but where the water really breaks becomes a bit too fuzzy.

Overall, a very nice piece.

Jomina In reply to Ogotay [2004-04-03 07:44:52 +0000 UTC]

hehe thank you so much!

Yeha actually theres a lot of things that i would do differently had i actually planned things from the start with this image. however, as i said i was under demands to post it or they would have hung me to dry and then logged in my account and posted it for me hahah

one thing i didnt care for is how much she shows up.. i actually wanted her a little diffused, but the effect of the background came through too strongly, and so i figured ah well may as well just give her the full view

chasingfuries [2004-04-02 13:42:00 +0000 UTC]

I agree with the saying in the description-so true. The pic is good, really like the girl's reflection, nice touch. The only thing is this, I think the girl is slightly too sharp. She just stands out a little bit too much. You might want to try toning her down just bit. That's just my opinion. Other than that, good job!!

Hey for something you weren't going to keep, it turned out rather well. So well in fact I am going to have to it so I can look at it again later alongside all my other favs by you. Nice work yet again, it's interesting to see some different styles of work coming from you now, I love your darker work with your own imagery, but this is a cool change, but keep 'em both up as I will always be keen to see your stuff as it arrives.

darkvein [2004-04-02 09:04:11 +0000 UTC]

Lovely work my friend but i believe there is too much blank space in the sky could use some dark clouds, & at the end of the river the ground seems a bit like a cut out (don't mind it's just my humble opinion ) but I luv the rest especially her reflection in the water it's very neatly done

sekeria [2004-04-02 08:53:35 +0000 UTC]

I GET A COOKIE! YAY!!!

Anyway, very interesting composition you have come up with. The whiteness of the sky gives a sense of 'emptiness', which is further enhanced on how the river seems to go on forever and ever, meeting with the horizon. Love how the girl seems to be wading in the water Excellent work!
