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.

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.

Concept:

Very strong

Technical Skill:

Strong

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.
