Artist's Comments

As usual, any more interesting title ideas would be appreciated.

To grossly understate, this took me a while (about 2 weeks). I have a terrible habit on obsessing over details rather than looking at the picture as a whole, but I tried to curb that tendency with this piece. I also wanted to make it a distinguishable scene but still have her sticking out from her environment, so I echoed the same technique in the grass as in the leaves of the trees to make the forest look like its enveloping her while still retaining a definite location. Originally, she was going to be some sort of harbinger of winter, with frost beneath her, but I felt that that took away from her as a definitive focal point.

I really love the hair, but the dress dont convince me =/
:iconjackieocean:
I love the wings! But something about the way the dress falls makes it looks like she's not really sitting on the swing. Perhaps some more shadows/tucks/creases where the material would be folding underneath her butt?

By the way, the colors in this are gorgeous. :-)

Her wings and dress are very lovely. However I think maybe the front of the dress should drape down more?

Thanks. I tried to do some more work in that image (reuploaded the image). In the current context of the file there isn't much I can do in that area, though I see what you're talking about.

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
