Nah! +10 if I could, but I'm only capable of giving it 9...

OMG! This is the best work i've seen so far today. I ecspecially love your use of colours, it brings out the magic in the painting. And I by the way recommend everyone to see the full version.

+9/9

Edit: Am I staring at the next top 10 artwork here?

wow.. the sky, the composition, the lighting.. great!! +8/8

I just can't fathom why you aren't elite yet. This is unbelievable. Like everyone else here, I will give it my full marks, thank you IMMENSELY for the inspiration, and hope I see you on the vote list for next month. WOW.

ps/ And how long does it take you to finish a piece like this? I'm still shaking my head. This is just beautiful.

Great work. High level of detail...nice 8/8

awsome... th sky is incredible

SandraS: "Am I staring at the next top 10 artwork here? "
¡i think so!

wow...that's really good. luv it. the lighting is awesome. her mid section isn't as pleasing as the rest tho ;p seems a little bit flatter than the rest.

wow.... (so constructive critique )
+8/8

very beautiful - I actually thought at first it was a work by darkspider from the thumbnail. The wings remind me a bit of Linda B's Eriqueel (or something like that) but that's not a negative thing at all - it's still your work and it shows

The only thing that throws me off a bit are the clouds..the depth and perspective you create with them is awesome but they seem a bit wild for my taste (that's only silly nitpicking though).

just had to add it again..the top part of the sky where the stars show through the deeper clouds - that part is breathtaking..you really captured the sense of depth there perfectly.

damn that is good! love it!!

like always anything blue impreses me
good lightning

nice job in BG

My fav work of yours, really really great.

wow

10/10

Saw this on another forum, (CGtalk? I forget.) Great work.

+10 ...the sky is so Amazing

Why are you not Elite yet? +10

Paid you forward.

Beautiful! Very well done. Love the colors and lights. Great work!

did I say I love this?

*stares in wonder for ten minutes, suddenly remembers what he was about, and shaking his head gives his max score.*

Wow! I'm adding it to my favourites!

My god, I admire this piece. More please!

Nice composition, and the figure is nearly perfect except for her left elbow, and right knee. The treatment to the way skins fold/unfold at the joints somehow make the structure vague, and the skins behave a bit too much like rubber.... Well but I am just being picky.

At first glance everything is at professional standard, and I thought it was a commissioned illustration from you for some fantasy book cover. The theme feels quite common for this gener, but technically really well done!

Absolutly beautiful. I simply love the composite, color scheme, her expression. The little white dragon, so small at the left but still there... The lighting and dept.. I am not saying anything that haven't been said earlier there.

Thoufg i must agree with Kyena about the cloud thing. They should be a little more "smoother" i guess, well at least the upper and darker part of them. You're definatly getting full score from me.

Beautiful +9

This is the best of your artwork so far. Her anatomy looks correct, her face is one of the best you've drawn, the lighting is beautiful, her wings are well-designed. Interesting landscape, but I think you need to study some real cloudy skies before smudging paint around to make your own clouds; these look okay at a glance, but not so convincing when looked at again, since they're swirling every-which-way, not really hanging or layering or following wind patterns like real clouds. In the closeups, I can admire her tattoo and stylized curly hair, which both math one another nicely. The dragon is really charming and worthwhile addition to the painting when viewed from a distance, but doesn't stand up to a closeup, the lighting doesn't seem to be following his form convincingly. Nice little scythe she has on her belt, looks like she was just in a fight; I wouldn't have guessed that from anything else I'm seeing.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I love clouds but I can't paint them convincingly... the "ordered chaos" to them has always been hard for me to capture, I think I'll just keep practicing.

+9

beautiful colours and the clouds are spectacular...love the colours and lighting!

Beautiful. 8/9

It's been a while since I've seen a perfect classic like this on GFX-member. Thumbs up! +9

A lot of work in this one Peachysticks, and it's paid off. Very nice pic. Though she'd never get off the ground with those little wings! Why is there blood on her dagger thingy? [edit] Doh, it's called 'The Next Prey!'

You rock Peachy! +10

The form of a fairy is wonderfully beautiful. I like your touch.

Great lighting~ Keep up the amazing recent work...

I tell you girl, this is the most impressive work from you. You're getting better with every painting! You know what I love from this one ^^

I agree with MayYeo definitely your best piece to date and improving so much so fast. Really beautifully done!

wonderful, lady

9/9

No comments, no crits. Cool work.

TOO COOL !

Whoa Nelly! Nice work. Just a couple of suggestions: you could pull more of the blue/violet tones into the forground (the rock outcropping) for unity; and it seems there should be some 'glow' spilling in around the figure. She seems to be lit with another, more ambient, light source.

I agree with the rest of your fans--Great job!

Incredible. This is a Masterpiece. +8/8

Thats amazing and you know it! 9/9 full marks...why the hell arent you elite yet!!???/

Great fantasy artwork +9

Amazing piece of art. The sky is great

Totally enchanting Linda... +9/9

very beautiful!!!
+7/7

magic! keep up the good work

This is really good. I like the understated composition, and the rich saturation gives it a strong painterly sense of space. The sky is a great anchor. The character is well rendered. There's a natural sense of her interaction with the supposed lighting scenario of the environment.

well at least you didn't write a poem The dragon on the mountain in the backround looks odd, maybe you should have left it out, or drawn it larger so it dosn't look like it was thrown in as an afterthought.

excelletn image, only gripe is the dragon.

Very nice, I really love the composition, and the fact you really have to look to find certain things (like said dragon ) Full points!

I love it! You're really talented Linda! 7/7

speachless....
