~ The Meaning Behind the Painting~
In a world of deception, cruelty, hunger and greed there lives innocence, and the evil thrives to corrupt it. Isolating her from the world's wickedness was not enough. She was curious to see what was beyong the world that she lingers in. She breaks away to see the real world, for what it is...is ignorance bliss or is knowledge power? ~ Inspiration~ Adam and Eve, when Eve was tempted and curious to know the meaning of good and evil. She wanted the knowledge of God. This work took me a month to do. I would go back and forth on it every once a week or so. I left it sitting untouched for several weeks, until last week, I've been going mad scientist on it! Working till 4 in the morning. It went through SEVERAL stages, which I will upload and link later, but I'm happy with what it became now. Believe it or not, it took me 30 minutes to work on the water breaking out, but 2 days to draw the lines on her body. I only used ref for her face, the rest ( including the lighting) was thought up by yours truly ^_^ ~ Tools~ Photoshop 7.0 and Painter IX :-D I worked so hard to make her face looking photo realistic by resharping my painting until it was slightly pixalted.

It looks to me like the hair is a little squeezed in, and maybe the eyes and chin look like they are on 2 separate planes - but those are minor details in an overall stunning piece.
The only thing I'd change is her hand. Since the rest of her looks so lifelike, her hand looks sort of flat and undefined by comparison.
Love the picture to bits, though. Nice work once again!

I'm over it!
You see I'm falling in the vast abyss...
Clouded by memories of the past...
At lastÉI say...
I hear it fading, I can't speak it,
or else you will dig my grave;
You fear them finding, always whining...
take my hand now be alive!
Love the way you did her eyes, lips and the water breaking out
