I love the soft way you've blended the colours, especially on the swan's wings. Great job extending the scan of the girl as well, though I think her leg is a bit too shiny (it kinda looks satiny like her dress rather than skin)
Artist Comment
Hello everybody,
here's my latest submission. It all came up with my desire to wall something with a huge swan. And Swan lake themed
wall was perfect for that. The worst part didn't surprisingly include the walling but it was the scan. I just
couldn't find a proper scan for such a wall, because I needed a kneeling girl with closed eyes, bending backward
and she had to suit the theme. Then - finally - I got it.
Majority of the wall is painted, I added just some slight vectors. I spent most of the time with the background, since I couldn't make my mind what to do and tried various elements till I ended with this one. Oh, and the reeds are supposed to be transparent, so that's not a mistake.
Used scan: Click
Time: about four days
Listening: Massive Attack and Tchaikovsky's Swan lake, of course:)
Hope you like it and enjoy,
S.

*___* its way toooo different from the scan.
the emotion of the character really changed.
i really love the theme and concept. A mystical and elegant one. and like maple rose said, i love as well how you extend the character. It turns out to gracefully. Also just that the legs were too shiny. or its just her socks?but anyway, i love it to the max! superb job!

Simply gorgeous... I can't find the words to describe how much I love this... this masterpiece. Its atmosphere is unique, both serene and intriguing, and (maybe it's just me) I love the kind of "bond" that you can feel between the girl and the swan. Many, many thanks for sharing!
