Rivals

wow, everything on her from the waist up is fantastic! I really like the bird in the background the way it moves and flows with the piece really rounds it out. The colors, reds and oranges are beautiful and intense, feels like fire but is still subtle enough to bring out the girls face.

I love the contrast of her long black hair and how it too moves with the bird in the background, it creates a nice line of separation between beast and human. I absolutely love all the little details on her skin and in her clothing, reminding me allot of a forest, the cold dirt and rocky terrain.

I feel that her skirt is too heavy, and has lost the light and artistic feeling that is in the rest of her outfit. Her legs cross oddly for me as well and because of all the details on her legs they stick out, making the mistake obvious to the viewer. Ever thing from the waist up seems well thought out then as you move below the waist things become airy, and not well put together. You have what looks like silk, flowing from the back of her dress, I like the idea but the colors are so different it seems to separate itself form the overall image. I think keeping it in the red tones might help move it back into the same piece. It looks like you are trying to tie everything together however it needs a bit more fine tuning.

Overall this is a really amazing piece of artwork, you have a nice strong and powerful feel and great movement! I adore the crooked feathers of the bird! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="26" height="17" alt="" title="Love" />
