Yeah, I guess it does kind of look like a Venus with the ocean in the background. Thanks!

PearlLotus [2006-12-08 01:52:13 +0000 UTC]

Wow! I'm sure she'll love it, it's very beautiful. You used the stock well - the position of the arms looks very natural. I love how the background extends beyond the "frame", like a frame is capturing a moment that's really in progress. It gives the feeling that someone's making a memory right now, rather than looking back at a memory they've already made. Lovely work!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad the arm placement came out well, it was kind of tough getting the pose right.

If I had money, I would most certainly comission you-this is beautiful!

I'm trying to lower the massive number of works I've faved...but I just have to fav this one.

It's so innocent, pleasing to look upon, slightly mysterious with the frame 'capturing' a moment of this girl's life, she looks real and yet beautific. Wonderful work.

I'm very glad I'm watching you! Might have to drop the number of folks I'm watching (It's over 50), but you'll always be on the list.

irinarichards [2006-12-07 09:38:02 +0000 UTC]

great work, I love the idea with the border - but it just feels it's a bit too wide somehow.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

redheaded-step-child In reply to irinarichards [2006-12-07 17:29:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! What part feels too wide, the border itself?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

irinarichards In reply to redheaded-step-child [2006-12-07 18:46:59 +0000 UTC]

yes, or alternatively you could probably trim the bits of bg outside the border?

redheaded-step-child In reply to irinarichards [2006-12-07 20:09:08 +0000 UTC]

Mmm, I dunno, I wanted it to stand out, I love that whole "border floating in the middle of the painting for no apparent reason effect"
