Okay, as I've said before, I've only been doing this painting stuff a few monthes, and I'm 17 years old. I was inspired recently by both Fallen and my friend Enayla's work, so I decided to try something of my own.

any input would be appreciated

hope you like!

Just so you know, there is a difference between Fallen and Enayla. It's been more or less proven in the "random musings" section that Fallen does overpaintings on photographs. Something that enayla doesn't do...

heh heh. I did -not- know that. Well, I didn't over paint a photo. I did that from a halfdrawn sketch me and my friend did.

Read.

*sorry, got caught up in the "lynching" that was goin on. Nice pic danyi. Isn't transparent clothing fun to do?

Fallen: Damn. Well, I'm well off confused. Either way, doesn't matter to me.
this was for you and Enayla.

Sweet picture, Danyi

You're really progressing!

Fallen: Eeeh! Yay. You replied. Oh, yes, it is. Though, I have a new respect for anyone who can do it. Making it look folded like a full material is daaamn hard. But I love it.

Enayla: You think? heh. I'm trying. Maybe one day I'll be good like you.. -sways- Then again, maybe not. heh.

nice pic... you live woodland hills eh? I'm around that area...

lovely piece, man.

the upper arm (her left) is too short!
and the nose tilts downards too much while it should tilt upwards a lil bit, i think.
i like the eyes. even though they r not really realistic (too big) but probably that's y i like'em

great work on the clothes. like much.
now when i'm looking at it again i think that the part of the shirt on the upper breasts should be more transparent but nice work on it. i should start practicing on this myself sometime...

nice work. thumbs up

i have a suggestion. i think you should include less folds in the material. there seems to be too many thus making it unnatural. also the nipple on the right side of the pict is less visible than the left one which shouldnt be the case if it is closer to the viewer. i would also add so thinner and sharper lines to the hair and maybe even a shimmer to it. maybe give the nose less definition (less outline) and more shadow and shine. give the woman a stronger primary light source... and lastly...(drum roll please)...add another color(s) (maybe yellow) to her skin tone. now that i've fully butchered your pict i will be on my way...bye... and good luck. nice pict though.

is it proven that fallen paints on top of photo's. The maker of this site does sucj good work you would probley accuse him of the same thing when in fact he is just good. i will be posting a paint i did of angela jolin or how ever it is spelled the one in the tomb raider movie and i do not over paint. i have been using photoshop for a while but just got into the free hand painting and its real hard because i use a mouse only. lol

mellowsmoothe · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 9:47 am

...uh ok...but what does that have to do with the pict above?....nerd.

Sigh...must I go through this with everyone individually? Read.

i really think that you should use our comments to touch-up this pict. it has a good base but will take a little fine tuning. it has a lot and has even more potential. as i said to another before, take the extra step...you will amaze yourself.

danyi · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 12:29 pm

you know what, mellowsmoothe. your right.

okie everyone, touch up time! I will upload the finished copy with the updates when i finish then for you to see!

danyi · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 5:53 pm

Alright! Here we go. updates made that I could muster the ability to go, and i think she looks TONS better! Thanks y'all!

what do you think now?

Lemur God · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 7:25 pm

Nice re-do! Its better! Your very good. I dig the hair myself...and the belly ring. ; ) Right on.

Side issue: This is me also sick of the Fallen discusion.

------------------
Anyone have any spare talent they can pass me?

danyi · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 11:31 pm

wowee. I got butchered. Grandeous. Now I have a new reason to try an outdo myself. -sigh-

-pokes Fallen- Well, 'least you dont have to tell me again.

danyi · Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2001 12:19 pm

hey, Lemur God, thanks for your comment! You think I'm good? -blushes- I got a lot of practice to go, but with more words of advice, i hope I can keep improving!

mellowsmoothe · Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2001 12:54 pm
