Description

I'm not sure what I should say about this... it was a pretty personal picture, but by the 10th hour that I've worked on this whatever profound meaning I had in mind all went out the window (however, I do hate crying in public).

Did this in PS7 and Painter 8. Took close to 30 hours. The one in my avatar is a WIP version

As far as technique goes, I was going for more of the style that other Asian artists employ with their fantasy/character art; more focus on colour, lots of anal retentive details in the costume, atmospheric background etc. Hope you like. :)

Amazing work! I only think the dark parts of her hair should be darker.

Wow, this is incredibly done. . . I love your choice of color blends, her skin tone is light and matches the whole lightness of the full piece. . . it's just incredible and I wish I could give you 100 points, but seeing as I can't. . . +9/9

This has got to be my favorite artwork on this entire site! I absolutely love it. There is so much in this image I love. Starting with her expression (she reminds me of my wife) and the beautiful colors. Have you printed this yet? I would love to see this in print.

Okay, I gotta stop fawning over it now.

Impressive, and very inspiring details. My guess is that you were probably referring to the chain and noah-kh kind of style? (which probably originated from katsuya terada xD)
 
Avatar PeachySticks

 12/06/04 @914

On this site, yep it's just them two But I've seen a lot of others and there's a distinctive Asian style, although everyone has a different approach to it.
Haha, I remember someone accusing noah of copying that guy. Noah still rocks either way. In my own description of At First Sight I mentioned Vovo's style but some guy just said she rips off Chen Shu Fen and Common... a bit *too* harsh imo : Which is why I don't cite any particular artist for my influences this time. man, that was off-topic!

Oh and thanks for the comments eveyone! :)

You can also mention Elite camilkuo if you would like to have another name in the looking-similar-style list. Ehh, no one has a privilegium to say its someone's special style.Perhaps it would be hard to recognize you just by your artworks, but no one can blame you for it.

In a few moments you will reach into G-spot. Good luck to you!

robertmekis: I thought Elite camilkuo's style is more "Western", well with the exception of her latest. Though I might as well mention Elite anv006 and  I-Rin...

The skin could use some more color variation and contrasts. You´ve painted the face very successfuly with a light and soft palette but with dark areas in the eyes, mouth and nose. You chould have painted the rest of the figure in the same way. Now it looks sort of flat and lifeless.
Her jewelery should be reflected in her skin the same way as the bowl reflects in her hands. Allso they don´t look very shiny.
To me that beautifully rendered face doesn´t work with the rest of the body.

I am new to this site and have spent the past several days looking at a lot of art ranging from elementary to awe-inspiring and I must say that your work is by far in the upper realm. That said, I think this is one of the most wonderful pieces I have seen in a long time, I absolutely love the level detail, so lifelike, yet still very painterly.
I can only hope to be elevated to your greatness someday.
+5 (the max)
Thank you for the inspiration.
