The only embarassment would be that of the competition...that you smoked. The whole elements thing has been done SO MUCH that by now it's worse than a cliche, but this is both original and technically masterful. The anatomy, the richness of color, everything. It's gorgeous.
You made my day with that comment. I wasn't quite sure if I should draw an Angel, for they're a kind of motiv I'd normally avoid. I am not exactly a sweet-fantasy-women addict . But I tried to make her a little different, full of life and a little reckless with her risky playing in the water. And the golden Salmon makes it a little less trashy I hope.
This is awesome...I can't believe that's colored pencil. And water looks abosolutely incredible. I like the contrast beetween the greenish water and the golden fish--very well done.
More than a little. That's what I like so much about this piece, it deals with subject matter that's been done countless times, but remains completely and wonderfully unique. I know what you mean about "things I normally avoid," but you definitely pulled it off!
Which contest is it? Is there a link? You SHOULD participate...the water looks fantastic! I have seen water like that during a storm...it was all choppy and foamy like that. I think you really did a nice job. Submit it!

I want to die like my grandmother died, peacefully in her sleep...not screaming like the passengers in her car.
the grey-board period is really producing some lovely work. this is a really cool interpretation of the elements... and i personally like unique depiction of the water!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
