Ahem, comments.

Besides blathering on about how much I love it and how perfect it is... I love the way the sky seems to open up and shine above/behind her head; it brings attention to her face and you see her sad expression. The way her left leg almost disappears into the water is a nice touch; almost looks like it is partially buried in the sand, rooting her to her spot and not letting her leave. The building in the distance kind of eerilyghostily hovering there adds some depth, so the picture doesn't just float away into the distance like so many tend to...

I don't know if it was intentional, but it looks almost like she's sitting on a stage; the angle of the ground and her proximity to the water itself. Like the stage floor, with some bloody water on it, is melding into the theatre's backdrop. The veil and the flowers in her hand are just crying "Giselle", after her death when she's become a Wili (all that's missing is the super-pale skin and all-white dress!)

Yes I have more to say, I'm still absorbing the image...

Second bit.

Overall, the feeling the image gives is that she is sad, longing, but resignedly so; since there is nothing she can do to change her fate. Part of that comes from her expression, but a good deal comes from the details as well: there is sun shining behind her head, through a break in the clouds, but it is behind her and she is still in shadow. As I said before, her leg half-buried in the sand seems to show that she is stuck there and can't leave. Yet she is calm, and sitting composedly; leaning quietly on her arm and gently propped up with the other in the sand, looking downwards but still with her chin level to the ground. She looks towards the dry sand to her right, not to the dark blood to her left; she doesn't curl away from the blood, or recoil from the waters, or hang her head dejectedly or in defeat.

*sighs*

I could write an essay on this picture - you probably have no clue and it more than likely wasn't intentional, but you've added so many elements of the performing arts here (and the essence of a dancer's art, which is portraying a whole story through body language) it's really remarkable.

Wow.
You have just earned the prize for The Longest Comment I Have Ever Had.

Position of her head - intentional. Added more to it with rendered light.
Left foot - intentional (so now we cannot see her lovely blue toenails )
Building - also intentional, otherwise the background would have been to blank. Or so I felt.

And the stage effect - also intentional.

Flowers? First I was to ask - what flowers, but then I realised, that the edge of the second veil layer DO look as if she was holding white flowers. Wow, did not notice it looks like that before.

And dammit. Now you make me want to SEE Giselle and do more of the theme Evul you!

First of all, thank you very much for the thorough comment. To be honest, I am sick and tired of all the 2 word comments. (I know, I know, people don't have time, but still...)

And now, as to performing arts....
I have been active in theatre for about 10 years, 3 of those as a free lanced stage producer and about 2 as a film producer.
I have also been known to use a LOT of dancelike movements in all my plays and film. Music, and musical movement has been one of the most important parts at all.

I am not sure about intentional, but subconscious makes wonders.

World is small.

I looked at your art account and reckoned many pieces. I began to think, how. THEN I remembered.


Look here [link]

I have featured you once I remembered

My first comment wasn't two-word, it was two-emoticon... (worse? )

Well THERE you go! I think I'm stuck in the ballet mindset, this picture evokes the exact sort of ... mm. Mindset I've been in when portraying characters before, and that pose is very similar to one that was at the end of one of my dances just two years ago. So it's amazing to me that you managed to capture all that visually; it's like putting down in an image what I had/have in my head, but in a way I would never have thought of myself.

Your (wow, extensive) performing arts experience MUST have helped with that picture, you captured everything to a T and got all the tiny details right. Bravo!

That was YOU!? oh so it was. Heh I thought you were a 20something male then, maybe I should have looked at your front page info

_{And most of those works I took off because I hated them so much, just like in a few months all my current stuff will be gone..}
