Description

Commission for Mark Hughey.

This unfortunate young lady's about to be turned into stone, well she should have turned back when she saw those previous statues ;) But it's too late to look away now, oops.

Painter and PS. Fun with perspective, more dynamic poses and lots of texturesyay! Hope you like :)

Great painting. Love the medusa. Very nice action/ freeze poses. I think the statue in the background still looks half formed as her upper body looks lifelike still (unless, like the main character, she is still in the process of turning to stone). Nice concept Linda.

The texture and lighting in this one is particularily good.The background elements are wonderful, and the perspective is right on. Well done on these :)

My problem would only be with the girl's face... her expression certainly translates as being frightened, and her pose expresses panic really well. However the face itself just isn't very pretty, and this make it stands out from the rest of the beatifully rendered elements... well it could just a subjective thing, or maybe she isn't a pretty one indeed. Or I am just too picky.

but other than that I think it's a very good piece in terms of the technnique.

Its a real good picture. Like the posing on all the girls. Perfect clothing on the girls, Especially when being turned to stone on island like that and nothing bringing them back to flesh. My favorite thing about it is that the girl in the front has a perfect body and the cloth she's wearing and then turned to a statue like that. I Like her face expression too. Keep up the good work. Is it OK if you can show me the full statue and her not a statue with the same pose of the main girl. :)

Concept:

Very strong

Technical Skill:

Strong

Impact/impression:

Strong
Pros:
The concept is great; Original approach of a well-known fantasy effect. Good choice in colors and poses.
Cons:
The remaining 'flesh' on the girl lacks the nescesary contrast, espescially in the face. The crop could have been tighter on the top to increase tension.
Overall opinion/feedback:
Good work, minor flaws.

Impact/impression:

Average
Pros:
The idea and setting is really cool. The colors used are good
Cons:
The entire composition could have been stronger, as it is, it's very ordinary and doesn't have an impact and/or doesn't grab the user's attention for as long as it COULD with this concept!

Also, the change from stone to flesh is abrupt which looks a little weird...I'd like to see more a transition. With so many people using this idea we've all seen it in movies and such- like having the veins pop up turning gray into stone and finally the flesh following- something like that. Take a fanciful idea and apply fanciful science to it, to make it look real.

I'd like to see some better anatomy studies from you... all the figures in your work, though getting better, are very stringy and too smooth. For example, the gesture of the in the back right looks odd. She's in a very tense position yet we don't see that in her muscles.. what I'm getting at is: you're trying to make them look graceful, but that doesn't work all of the time...it just turns unrealistic.
Overall opinion/feedback:
Apply your painting skills to small studies that you can whip out quickly, over and over again.

Overall, good, but could be so much better.

Pros:
I think its`s real good. I like the posing they did. The background is real good to turn them to stone. My favorite thing about the picture is that the girls have a perfect body, Mostly the main girl with the cloth she wearing, her showing her stomach and the small shorts and then turned to stone with that pose. Almost perfect.
Cons:
Her face should have been much stronger, probaly the knife should have been in the ground, the main girl should have pose like her arms sticking out or like the girl in the left or should have looked her at hands like krillin from Dragonnball Z when dabura turned him to stone. Those should had been perfect, but it's ok. should of made her expression stronger. :)
Overall opinion/feedback:
Almost Perfect. The main girl in the front should have had a stronger expression,probaly her pose should of had a been better and she looks kind of cute. ;)
