Artist's Comments

From 2003. Color pencil on Rives paper, 36x26in

Not much to say about it. It was big, it was difficult, and I ground my teeth into a paste trying to finish it. (And it took me a few months to realize that I never got around to finishing the ears. o_O I promise to fix that before I even think about making prints of this available.) The idea behind it -- biomechanics. Maybe she's some cybernetic organism that draws energy from "energy springs" that crop up in the form of these weird "cyber trees." Or something.

This is gorgeous....I love the amount of detail you placed into this... :clap:

The color at the top, with the jewels, sky, and such is very vibrant and bright....I love it.

The coloring at the bottom seems to be a bit flat...but it could just be a bad medium transfer from paper to computer...

Either way, this truly is beautiful....great job!!

Instant :+fav:

take care,

Ryan

Hey everyone, thanks for the comments! I'll go gallery-hopping eventually, but I really should be in bed now. 3 1/2 hours of sleep after hitting the sack at 6am does not a happy girl make.

That might be part of the problem (if I had to stick the blame somewhere else besides on myself. Heh.) But I think the main problem is the fact that I don't have as many complementary colors at the bottom, so the viewer's eye is drawn mainly to the top 2/3 of the drawing. I didn't realize that until I was nearly finished, and I tried dropping some last-minute touches of red at the bottom (the jewels). Still didn't turn out as balanced as I'd hoped. Color composition makes my brain hurt . . .

w00t! My first piece of constructive crit. And a fave. Thanks Ryan!

I was thinking of her as some sort of futuristic priestess.

In any way of seeing it, I must say you rock. :)
