[Demie-Lune]

I really love the render of the image.
Not a standard "realistic" render, but graphicly richer, I think ! :)
Very beautiful ! :) :thumbsup:

[inky2]

Beautiful painting! So watercolor and clear! Here is the great chines art tradition.

[MoonVisionStudio]

Great mix of realism and abstraction. Gorgeous colors, and face.

[John Keates]

Beautiful and sensitive.

Proof that computer art has come a long way.

[noelt]

Nice job. I love the fingers in the water. 4.5stars :thumbsup:

Really unique ... :) nice render

[W-I-L]

She is very beutiful. I am very fond of this sort f style... 5 star rating.

[Agostinuke]

If excellent means 5 stars, I think that this painting has to be in the 5.5 stars group.

[lighting_bug]

Great! I am proud of you!:)

[angel]

Just beautiful.

[Dennik]

The way that far east people perceive beauty, is beyond my comprehension. 5 stars from me. :)

[Isurus]

i'd buy a print of it :) she's beautiful. i like the minimal line work you have.

[Goldenavatar]

Very impressive coloring you've got here, 4 Stars from me just for the whole thing. I'm glad to see that you're sharing such interesting looking works with us all.

[anti-shock]

[Cman]

This is wonderful!

[zhuzhu]

[pearl3d]

thats very nice - cool work :bounce:

[doublerr]

好（good), keep it up!

[Jameslsy]

I like the abstract look and feel you gave it!

[viki5199]

happy to see some more critical opinions!
I used picture as reference , depict detail is not my strong suit. :sad:

like brush,watercolour and the styletraditional Chinese painting.
so sorry for my poor English,hope you can understand what I meaning;I will improve on my art in the next picture,thanks again!

[rende]

Very well done... :thumbsup:
critic: i feel that you miss some detail on the torso, naval and abdominal muscles (allthough very slightly) maybe?

[Unraveled]

This is simply a beautiful painting, very well done.
My only comment is that her chest area seems blown out and too bright. My eye doesn't really wander around the painting, it just seems to come back to that one bright spot.

[pand-aren]

5* superb painting. I love it :love:

Oh chine's peoples have no belly's ? :p

[thesuit]

Killer colors!
If this was an experiment I think you succeded by far!
I xpecialy like the mood on this one but the colors sure take the cake.

[DoInferno]

Couldn´t avoid thinking of Klimt...
Great work!

[HapZungLam]

this is lovely.

[AlyFell]

Fantastic! I love the wash. Beautiful! :)

[TheRedMunkey]

WoW... I'd seriously buy a print of this if possible. One of the nicest pieces I've seen. I really really like it. I only have three gripes:

1.The nose seems a little odd. It makes me think of some kind of animal.
2.The breasts are surprisingly large, they don't seem to fit this beauties frame well
3. No belly button ^.^ ?

Beautful work of art!
很美!!!

[daddyo]

Beautiful work!

I like that it has graphic quality and yet the eyes and pose have lots of life. An interesting piece to look at. I am in love with the girl :P

[tlggungor]

oooofffff super sexy.

would you like to see my 2D Challenge CİTİES & concepts

Beautiful.... amazingly beautiful. One of the best works I've ever seen on this board.

Five stars from me... (or five and half ;))

We want more!!!

[caco]

Art that evokes emotion... you my friend have achieved that.

Many praises... it is brilliant, excellent and wonderful all wrapped into one!!!

CaCo

[zenigeva]

really beautiful painting

[Cman]

crit:

My one crit, if you can even call it that, is that the highlights on her belly and the missing belly button make her look pregnant, imho.

But maybe that's what you wanted?

[konst]

很美!!! I can´t agree with you on the firs one....I love her face, it is just beutiful...and her hair, so cool!!

But I have to admit that the other to, second and third, buged me to.


But this is a lovely pice of art...lovely chinese art. Great stuff!:love:

[Rikaro]

wow, this is what i call a materpiece!

[alseides]

I havn't seen anything so visually apealling on cgtalk for a long time, 2d or even 3d. I wish someday to paint like you, its that style i want to achieve! great work.

[JARhead]

Wonderful face! Ace job man, just good times here! Keep it up my friend!

[ENIAC]

really nice work, i like it a lot.....reminds me just a bit of hugo prat.......
keep working man....you have very interesting stayle :thumbsup:

[imyida]

well done~ i like the style~

[HapZungLam]

Do you have a bigger version? I would like to put it up as my wallpaper :P

[Panos]

I like watercolor effect on your picture. It’s quite artistic. Did you use photography of a woman and filtered her with Photoshop or you draw over photo? That big yellow splash is maybe unnecessary. Generally I like this picture. Very Chinese

[Ollarin]

Wow! Awesome work man! Lovely colours and a superb painting! :|

[Boom Boom]

My Goodness this has to be the most beautiful
piece of art I have seen in a little while. I would pay
for it and hang it in my home and I think many would.

You are very very very talented, Ye.

Magnificent. It is exactly my sort of thing. And I think Van Gogh
would have really wished to paint like you instead of all those
other portraits he did.

Forget Van Gogh. Why did I mention him...? Maybe because he was
slightly expressionistic? Maybe because he appreciated Oriental/
Far Eastern beauty? Maybe because he appreciated female beauty?

Dunno.

You are amazing I guess you cant get higher than 5 out of 5.
Maybe you can say 100%. or 1000/1000.

Wow, gush etc

Believe it or not I think I am usually a harsh critic,
with visual art and with most things. But this image...

WOW

Shien Shien...(thankyou)
Hao Yuen (good luck)

[loocas]

It's beautiful! Very loose, very stylised very cool... :thumbsup: I join the rest so http://www.cgtalk.com/images/rating/rating_5.gif from me! :D

[Exlinked]

My friend... that is awesome!

[a111]

very nice!!

[bumbleb]

so refreshing to see someone approach photoshop as a traditional artist would of any medium. I love the textural qualities, you have a true artistic talent, colours are dizzying. Ten out of ten, just beautiful

[el_martino]

Ok.. i just LOVE this image.. it is so awesome! It definately shows how the artist rules over the technique...

[giza]

this is a really nice work, original and well done.

[Kyena]

That must be what children of Klimt and Vovo would paint like.

Awesome approach and painting :)

[DimitrisK]

Excellent sense of colour, original and artistic. I think this is a great example of what can be achived through digital technology and a lot of talent!!! Too bad it has to be digital though. I am a big fan of traditional media myself. The character is also very sexy and beautifull... Fantastic work. Bravo!!!:thumbsup:

[veljko-lemonade]

great work!

was it done with a mouse or a pad?

Title: Lotus
Name: Yanyan Ye
Country: China
Software: Photoshop

many good picture were found by trial and error.
I tried to show some traditional element in the picture.

The images was mostly painted in Photoshop only 。
The girl in this picture that was graceful in waterfront .
And filigree on her head is ancient china decoration.
Love to hear what you think about it.

Comments are most welcome.[/QUOTE]

[fraser_choy]

Hi!
I am new here,and I am deeply attracted by this gorgeous pic. The girl's face is really pretty!
And the fish is awesome !!Hope to see more pics from you~

[liuhua2004]

除了头部，其他地方都觉得有点怪......

[jody]

very nice! i like her face and hair very much!

[coolgauss]

very beutiful, it looks so painterly.

[adel3d]

Excellent work!
Fantastic technique:)
good luck!

[giza]

Great classy work.

[siberianfag]

Let me start by saying that I really enjoy the serenity conveyed from her expression. She is sexy, but relaxed--doesn't feel posed at all. However, I do have some complaints, and since no one has voiced them, I will.

First, there is so much detail in her face, but but very little in the rest of her body. Maybe bring out her collar bones or the hand. Also, as someone else metioned, no belly button and the length of her torso makes her look pregnent. Whether or not she is carrying is up to you, but if she isn't some details of the belly button or hip bones may help clarify. Looking to her back arm I think I can see where the "waterline" is, however it looks too high compaired to the rest of her body. Again, the waterline on her thumb is much higher then the fingers and the fingers don't match the thighs. Lastly, her thighs seem to short; if I am correct then she is kneeling on her calvs. Some discoloration, like in the fingers, could even out the legs.

Otherwise, I really like this piece, and it is an exquisite display of traditional artwork in a new medium. The lack of a background and the cool colors really bring out the character. I hope my suggestions help in a revision or your next piece.

[Spc]

Nice Picture. :deal:
I allmost fell in love :love:

[afusion]

Great work! Really looks a lot like a japanese singer I know, Ayumi Hamasaki.

[orangeorange]

You get the 5.0 from me

Beautiful color and line and imagination. The image evokes a feeling of simplicity, yet adventure and zest beneath the look.

Pick another thought and do it again. Bet it'll be a surprise.

[IAM Z]

漂亮~~~~水彩的感觉

[Mikier]

Great ambiance....Nice form too;)

[Concept-Mutt]

Truly amazing piece... I love the details on the clothing among other things. breathtaking.

[frasersyrup]

Hope to see more graphics from you! Thank you!

[a-day]

Great job!! I love it!!! Especially the texture of the background~!!

Great use of colours rather exotic and the eyes really draw the viewer in fantastic work!!:love:

[daskog]

One of the moast interesting paintings i seen my whole life! & im realy not into painting.
the painting is just so much things at the same time.
I love it, Cheers

[armocelu]

This picture emanates sensuality in all aspects, since the moment i see it my senses where irradiated by a large range of sensations and emotions waving from the screen, i can almost touch the textures here, i simply love it :love:

[sketcher109]

I like the style u imposed in the picture. I also like how her face pops out. Did anyone else notice she's in water?

[Krisaxis]

really impressed!!

[classx]

wonderfull i fink i just love this picture:rolleyes:

[Taxisky]

NICE, REALY GOOD ATMOSFEARE.

[michael5]

I am proud of you!!! great work!

[DANKA]

This is a very piece of art! excellent mix of soft and hard color tones! ;)

[Chicco]

really great character and coloring,very personal style,
only a doubt on the position of the right leg...
i really like the face expression :eek:

[jordancheng]

Very fascinating!

[Ayen]

excellent work! the girl's face was kind of a common Asian girl, but the overall feeling gives me a princess aura. the gesture was really attractive, the way the head is tilted, the bend at the hips, and weight of the hand. every detail seems like it has so much attention, everything looks perfect, combined traditional and modern styels. i wonder how long it took you to do that - great job, and i look forward to seeing more of your work.

[nymbis]

Fantastic job, I really like it!

[SOUL-TXL]

I love it~:eek: Very nice work!

[anshutz]

She have a perfect face! She scares me! hehehe!!! Great image! i love her eyes!

[hero2knite]

[dern]

Great job, I love this style. Should be displayed somewhere!

[TiCool]

Wonderful! I almost like each bit of this drawing:love:...except the belly looks a little bit...fat? Hehe, hope to see more of your drawing in the future!:thumbsup:

[f110blizzard]

你好啊！我是上海的，刚到CGtalk来打混。很高兴认识你，还有你的作品！

[BrotherLuc]

She is... SWEET! Is that someone in real life? Or just your own image creation?
