Been working on this for the past couple of days. Something that's been in my head for a while now, namely elemental images so I suppose this is the first one in a row - earth. XD

I'm still not satisfied with hair and the hand but meh, I have a headache and my eyes are bleeding from this. .__.

Hope you like and feedback is welcome! :D

    So beautiful, I like art with human+nature. Your painting is awesome.
    I think more highlights on the hair will be better. I am not really sure about this: maybe clearer lines on the body.

    But overall I like it!

    Whoa! How nice! Looks like a greeting card design or something. :D
    I would say maybe her fingers look kinda bony/masculine? The style of the hair makes it look like a vector graphic (for that greeting card!) so I think it's ok, but some shine on the bangs might look nice. :D

    Happy Holidays :D Looks very seasonal, and wonderful.
    I love the green tones and the mix of browns, it's a nice feeling of
    nature. Great job, it's awesome to see OA from you! <3

    Nice original idea alenas~

    Her eyes look so haunting... I think it's the intensity of the black in contrast with all of the otherwise muted tones. Love it!

    I think her hand looks perfectly fine, but that her nails are what are possibly throwing them off. I get the idea behind them, but think that instead of multiple swirls, perhaps just one? Have you ever seen pictures of people who grow their nails really long and they start curling? I think something like that would look more, ah... natural~

    Finally, the grapes are kinda random. I think if you are going to have leaves in the hair (which I like immensely) I would stick with JUST leaves... or add another bunch of grapes in there to balance things out.

    Overall a very strong piece. Nice job. ^_^

    Ohhh man! I utterly love this. The earthy feel is captured so cooly with the veins and obviously twisted nature of this girl, because nature is twisted around her! Makes perfect sense you know! I wouldn't change anything about it, this is definitely your own style and you were brave with dabbling into the ugly-pretty, which is a hard and satisfying direction to go in, most people stay in the safe range of a normal chick, which I could never do. Girls are more fun when they have a beautiful and strange spice to them, and there are so many ways to do that - but this is so far my favorite.
