Artist's Comments

I totally blame Andreea *FrozenStarRo in the inspiration and encouragement.

So this picture is dedicated to her. Enjoy, my dear. :rose:

***********************************************

Of making: About 70 layers, which is about 40 more than I am used to. "Hair" is placed there one by one, each turned in correct direction. Background is also texture + one brush after another, twisted and turned. Each object has been blended, texturized etc etc. But I kind of enjoyed making this, or else I would not have.

This is special piece for at least two reasons - I have never done a portrait before and I have never done a more serious sci-fi. This is both. Hope you like. I do.

So do I. Andreea's star textures, with Pure-stock's computer textures and a load of handpainting with Axeraider70's winter brushes.

A great awakening.

This is something I never expected you to do.
But you did. And the hell of a way you sure did it.

:star::star::star::star: :star-half:/:star::star::star::star::star:

(this [:star-half:] is waiting for some emotions into this kind of works) :)
:iconmithgariel:
HA! Surprised you, surprised you, surprised you! :D :dance:
I love doing that.

Someone told me recently that my works have changed lately... I wonder if they might be right, or what is that people expect me to make.... Kat would not tell me, she said she always expects something different.

And that's what she has got recently.

Deep emotions in many impressive ways. That's what I (can't explain why) expect to see when I notice you have submitted something new.

It seems to me you're going through some sort of changes. In your life... In your art... Hobbies... Some thing...
It's your private matter and I ask nothing.
That's only how it seems to me.

You know better what you want and shall do. And you do it....'cause you are so freakin' stubborn. :rofl:
:iconmithgariel:
Actually it is true. Many, many small and bigger changes. Naming just some: planning going back to uni to get my degree, losing weight, starting to write again over years, totally cleaned up my room, throwing away loads of stuff I've kept so far... trying out all sorts of new music...

For too long I have lived not in past, but stuck someplace. Now I feel I am finally free and moving on.

Sounds very fine then. You're almost through many big changes already and the path to future looks cleared.

Now just toward the goals you've set.

Remember you're talented, skilled, creative, stubborn and evul. They'll give you the advantage you need to pass the others even before the starting line. :laughing:
:iconsolitairemiles:
Stunning work!!!

Wow, I love love LOVE the way you arranged the pipes in her hair. Absolute genius, it's just perfect. The wisps are very neat too, I love the alternating colours and the way they're arranged - remind me of porcupine quills almost, the shape of them. The textures themselves are used masterfully, just makes the picture shine...

I'd have to say (if you really want me to be nitpickity, I know sometimes artists appreciate that far more than "omg love it") there are a few things I'd just alter slightly, but really not much. The circuitry on her head I might rotate counter-clockwise by 90° and move back a little, to neatly nest in the area free of pipes - that way it separates the circuits from the buttony thing a bit, so they don't take attention away from eachother and so it looks more natural. The switch on her neck I might move down a bit, so there's more flow from her face along her neck; just gives her ear a bit more space so the button and switch and ear aren't all clumped together.

The only other thing that I'd REALLY change and that wouldn't be too hard to is the dark smudge in front of her nose- at first when I saw the thumb of this I thought it was Pinnochio, from a distance or when small the smudge looks like an extension of her nose :P

But seriously, even WITHOUT those changes and just how it is it's an amazing piece. The emotion and the fluidity and style, I love it all. It's just SO darned cool, dera, can't express it in words :hug:
