Nice action

indeedly expressive... i like the colors mostly and the dark atmosphere around it

I thought it was a photograph… amazing realism +10

Indeed I thought it was a photo as well. And wondered why would someone post that in Digital Painting. Great Job I love the 1920's Flapper Girls so much character in that age.

Thought it was a photo, wow great painting. Well done!

Great one! I love the colours you've used, good composition and greatn sense of movement! +10

Great indeed, but mention when you do overpaint (at least part of the face), or show the reference. (self-portrait?)

*edit* In that case, very impressive.

It's not an overpaint so there is no need to mention it. I don't see why showing a photo ref has any importance either - though for anyone that is really that interested in a terrible, dark, low-quality pic of me looking like a maniac here you go - http://div.dyndns.org/coc/danceref.jpg Thank god the finished piece doesn't look like me, hahaha....

In my opinion it's all about the finished product and I achieved what I wanted to achieve here.

To everyone else - thanks for the kind words. Weee

The work is phenomenal. However the long beads she's wearing look like they're not part of the painting. It's a cool effect, I was just wondering if it was intentional.

Ahh, 20's or 30's for sure. The chosen colors, light and textures really gave it real look. Include feeling of movement. The final result is very well ballanced. At first look I thought she is dancing.

Welcome back anyway
Oh, and forgot to mention I have discovered GFXartist thanks to your artworks. Actually I don't remember how it does happen exactly (it is three years old story), but somehow I followed path you have put sumewhere and then I apeared here

EDIT: Overlooked the tittle, hehe. She is really a dancer

This is not photo....?
Very realistic pic! Excellent work! Congrat!!

Wonderful. Thought it was a photograph too.

Beautiful work!....It does look like a photo!

great job...
agree with artoonator, if indeed you used photo ref you need to post it

great work!! Your paintings have been a great inspirations since i saw them on the eat poo forums for the first time!

great!

I almost passed this by because I thought it was a simple snapshot... when in fact, it's an amazing and realistic painting! Excellent job!

You know, honestly, it wouldn't matter to me if it was a photo or a painting, either way it just looks amazing. Just like your Dream photo series, it's gorgeous, but since it is a painting, I know what sort of work went into it, and I appreciate it all the more.

I just plain love your work

I like how this has personality and emotion.

really enjoy the tension that comes from the facial expreesion.. something between joy and pain... very nice
maybe some more trance would be nice there...
but cool anyways
