Queen of Heartsby `AlexandraVBach

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Fantasy

First artwork for 2012

I didn't submit much personal art last year, so I decided to change that and focus from now on on redefining my own style and personal creations. Hope you'll like !

Critique by ^SanguineVamp Jan 15, 2012, 8:58:38 AM

Hi!

Me again.

WOW, what an incredible piece of artwork! My favorite thing about this piece is that, even without looking at the title, I could tell exactly what it was supposed to be! It was that clear in sending a message. I love manipulations that tell a story, and this is definitely one of them.

I love the mist and the sense of mystery it creates. The lighting is gorgeous, and I am impressed by how lovely the hair looks. You have really come a long way in learning to paint hair! You'll have to teach me, hehe!

What I also like about this piece is the juxtaposition of fantasy and reality. She is not overly made-up or painted over, and the background is very real. Yet, the mist and the heart-shaped rose petals (VERY cool, by the way) give it a fantasy feel. It's like coming out of a dreamland or something.

I truly can't think of anything to critique from the perspective of "what needs improvement," and that's saying a lot because I can find something in most pieces. (We all can always improve, right?) But, this is exquisite. I love your work and look forward to seeing more of it this year.

What do you think?

Gorgeous piece, the fluttering of the rose petals is whimsical and the even the pose of the lady hugging herself while holding onto a heart is such great imagery.
