Description

I do have a story behind this painting, but instead of words, I leave you with this picture alone. I wonder what your interpretations would be.

Original size: 6000x9000px; done from scratch in Photoshop with some aid from Painter.
This piece was a challenge, mainly to get the technique and mood work together. It took me a LOT of time, especially to get all those little details right.

...and as the final syllable was uttered from her lips, her soul froze. the tears forming, suspended like crystaline figures that one could string if one had a needle to pierce such sadness.

would it be such a sad thing to remain in stasis, knowing that beauty would be retained in this sordid manner?

i love this work. this is my first comment on anything. i love the way the lighting was done. but the thing i appreciate most would be the dress. the hem of the dress to be exact. the cobwebs was the only indication of the time lapse her, especially the ones nestled on her hair. Ü

Mmmm... I like the window!

...and also the cob-webby thing going on... nice touch! ;)

Some of the perspective seems a little odd, but overall it's definitely the ol' thumbsup! (thumbup) :)

Thank you everyone for the feedback, thank you huitzipochtli for your interpretation, I loved it and you're so close to what I thought of
Mythmaker: Ah it's the first time I do a weirder perspective like that so I suppose mistakes were unavoidable =P

Pam: Oh not really :) I do, however, observe interesting textiles when I have the chance (like on paintings, in shops etc). I had no direct reference for this one, but my curtains came in handy when it comes to the half transparent textile of the dress =P

truly one of the most inspirational artists on this site, its very deep and I love the way you have chosen to let the image speak for itself knowing that everyone would see it in there own image. I see a little bit of want, mixed with patience met with dissapointment, and questions. Wonderful.....:)

Wow, this is so beatiful =)
I'm interested to know what the story behind it is, but if i had to guess...
The bird cage looks pretty symbolical here, and the letters...all the spider webs...
Like she has been there trapped for a long time longing for someone that she only gets letters from...
Anyways...
My max :)

Incredible skills:)

The perspective seems a bit off (just look at the cage and
follow the allignment to the window)
Also the head doesnt fit natural on the neck

But,

my gawd, the fabric, textures and lighting!!

Awesome

As always lovely color palette an composition sadly her "shirt" still is a bit too pixelated for my taste. And I assume that you love Peachysticks, too? This lovely face you painted here reminds me so much of her work ^_^

The way you painted the details of the dress is insane and look very complex to do. Great job!

i identify myself with this piece, not sure if it's what i'm thinking about it, but yet it reminds me how painful is to feel love and remembering it is bad.
but i think you're not going through this now, at least i hope you aren't and i've seen you're quite good about this subject
<3 love marta.

I very like the idea :), but I think some of your other works are better.
the details are very great (bg, dress, scenery set) , but why you didn´t this details in her face and hair? (maybe just my opinion, mean it no harm)

So beautiful, so realistic !!! But the upper left corner shouldn't be left so blank like that.

It is a great painting, but I think that you were a bit lazy with some parts.
With the window for instance - the window itself and whats outside needs some noverwork.
Where are her feed? And the dress looks a bit pixelated.

But apart from that its excellent !

Very beautiful work! I think that her shoulders/collarbones are a little bit off though. Wonderful lighting, great image!
I agree about the perspective, everything else looks great!

Beautiful painting.
From all the cobwebs attached to her I gather that she has been in that position/place for some time. So I’d expect her dress and face to be a little bit dirty too.

Its a wonderfull picture and maybe this one, I can identify the most! You have capture the absolut right mood in the minute of understanding, that your herat is broken....
It hurts a bit to see this Picture, because it reminds to well on old emotions of my own! But this is what this picture makes so outstanding! :)

could i continue the dreams of the heart he has destroyed?

for the time i see you again
