Master and Servant 2D Entry: Eliza Ivanova

[eliza]

hey to all,
I think I worked out the process of submissions, so enjoy.

[ConcreteDonkey]

wow , what a face .... he looks so wise...
good luck eliza !

[artjunkie]

Lovely painting style! And I adore the colours you've used for the baby's skin *takes notes for future reference*... and that squished face! I LOVE IT! He looks soooo pissed off, lol!

Keep up the great work!

[eliza]

theheh,thank you:) actually, that weird guy is most surely not going to be included in the final image but i displayed him for some funregards

[eparts]

I like your idea so far. Very reflecting, how children seem to rule their parents. But this scene is very funny. and great

What I like the most, is the very speaking expression of the baby's face. Its so powerful.
feelings. and the skin tones and lightning are very thrilling.

btw, nice artworks you've made earlier. took a look at your site. i wish you the best for now

[GaeasHerald]

The color scheme looks awesome and the expression on his face is disturbing! I like it a lot. Good luck!

[Mish]

What can I say? It's fineart. I've seen a very few people with the skill you have. will keep an eye on this. Also I should mention that be baby actually is great, cause babies often look just like babies but you caught the natural look of an autocratic baby. N' that just kicks ass.
Oh, and colours are unusually radiant and realistic. well chosen even with the lightbounce from the surrounding surfaces.

I know the sequence of the submissions is quite messy, I apologize. So here is my first sketch..

[eliza]

the concept of the baby master building up...

here is my master baby's head; I still have to work on it a lot, sigh..

[marcheen]

hi

this is a good idea and you really have great skills. i also checked you site. you know how to pick the right colours and where to put them. good luck to you i'll be checking for updates;)

[GhostInTheMachine]

very good work. i like the light on the face alot. you could make some sharp highlights in the hair to improve that. it mite b an idea to show the bulge of the pupils with a crisp highlight - that'd look ded good. good work! :thumbsup:

[stevethomas]

I dig the colours on the kid. Nice use of two light sources. I don't really have a crit 'cause it's hard to say when it's still a WIP. Keep it up.

[Magnemar]

I really like the green shadows on the baby's face - sort of sickly and evil. Interested to see how you'll use colour on the servant.

I like how the eyes are dark and undefined - I think it adds to the character in a subtle but important way.

v. nice WIP.

[nebezial]

well the most important fact is that u laid the foundation properly, its all fun from here, great work Eli:thumbsup:

[W-I-L]

are u using refernece... that light is fantastic... evil baby, evil baby!

[Eterna2]

yeah :) evil baby

[kekata]

beautiful;)) Uspeh

[eliza]

hello to all and thank you for the comments!
GhostInTheMachine, gratitude for remarks, I'll be doing some corrections of the hair very soon.
i truly hope you guys will like updates n upgrades of the drawing, hehe
kekata,mersi:)

[Jovi]

Stunning as always!!! Good luck!":)

[erilaz]

Heh... that's one evil looking kid. Great work so far. Skin is starting to look nice.

My master's getting pretty feet:)
Since some people asked me about the idea of my picture, I will post my initial comment about it:
As we have probably noticed, from the first day of its birth, an infant becomes the one and only rule-maker for its parents. That is the concept I would like to develop in the picture displayed. Here is first version of my master, his servants will come soon one by one:)

[jamihn]

The concept is excellent. Indeed, newborns inslave their parents! HAHA! I really like the light values you've established on this latest update. I'm not sure how you managed it, but though his proportions seem perfectly baby-like, the kid almost seems like a grumpy adult. I guess it's true how they say all babies look like Churchill! Good luck. I love where this is going.

[cha0t1c1]

looking great eliza...been watching this piece...can't wait for the rest.
p.s. the details are looking excellent(the wristlace, nice touch :D )

[eliza]

thanks again people:)

W!L, i just noticed your question- yes, i use ref for the right proportions but the colors are mine

[Slav]

indeed i cant wait to see a more tighten up version of this piece great work.

:thumbsup:

[Mish]

Looking at the baby, I must say, it's very well constructed. You know what you need to do so i don't need to tell you cause i know you know already.
The cloth looks stunning, which is unsurprising having seen your previous work with cloth. I think you've handled the primary (from the right) and secondary (from left) lighting very well, you may wanna do a few touchups but it looks very great, almost photographic.
I'm really quite amazed at the baby's hair, so soft and authentic hehe :D
Overall, good composition, you have an eye for that, which is great. Don't forget to use some lens effect for the so-valuable realism.
glee.

[W-I-L]

grumpy adult. I guess it's true how they say all babies look like Churchill!

we will poop on the beaches!

Nice stuff mate... as you use refernce i gusee the baby is right, but the body looks a bit too long, and ugly too be frak... maybe the refernce was an ugly baby (i hope it not yours.. quick run wil run!)
Maybe you want it too be ugly? I love the face though,, but the body jkust does not sit well with me. just too big i think

[arkinet]

you got that freakish innocent-wicked expression on the babys face, reall cool. the lights & colors impressive.

[eliza]

well, it'd have been really cool if i could photo a baby of my own but it'd be really bizarre to be a 17-year-old mom, so i'm bound to use ugly pictures for ref >_< n yes, as i look at the photo, there's really something wrong with that baby (maybe that's why i picked it up for my drawing, haha) i may shrink my master a bit, i dunno, i'll decide later

[W-I-L]

whats with all the child prodigys here! 17.. you rock!

[Magnemar]

Hi Eliza,

I really like the modelling of the babys hand - really subtle tonal changes. Do you paint tonally then introduce colour after, or do it all at once?

[eliza]

gratitude W!L! n you know what, with smaller body it definitely looks babier ;)
:thumbsup: friend for the advice


Magnemar, hey to you too.. i basically do the overall coloring, really rough, just to get the basics you know. then comes the shadowing, many corrections at that point follow, n then the sacred details:)

[W-I-L]

Just relised that i had already been thru that whole woow ur 17 and great when i emailed you a while bak.... sory. forgot your cgtalk name so forgot it was you.. i am crap for remebering things. I belived you asked me to show you some of my stuff in th email... i have done some colour sketches in my thread.. check it out of you please! mor eto come soon!

[duddlebug]

The face on that baby is brilliant!! Perfect expression and lighting!!

Nice. :)

[eliza]

here comes the first servant, all humble and loyal to the one and only several-month-old autocrat :)

[W-I-L]

i just6 love your style.... this is so good.. would be perfect if it wasnt for the baby... i have a big problem with it... i kow it should look mencing but it still looks wrong to me anotomically. i think the arms are not chubby ebough, the hands are slightly too small. the ehad is to small and i gues sthat is it... sorry. it just really strikes out at me. the mother is perfect though as well as composition

[birdybear]

Wow, great entry. I love the way you are putting your color in. You can really give volume to what you do. I'm sorry if this is obvious or already stated, but what program are you using? I think the background (couch/pillows...) is a little distracting. There are so many shapes... however, great piece all in all.
Good luck!

[ConcreteDonkey]

hei the mother is great :) maybe a bit too sharp compared to the baby....

:applause:

[Nigel-Q]

nice baby! love your colour palette and rendering, looks awesome.

[Magnemar]

Nice work Eliza.

Really like how it's coming along. I really like the baby - there is someting really wizened about it - it kind of looks like it's planning worldwide domination in it's head.... :)

The whole thing feels very green heavy at the moment but maybe that's how you want it to be....?

Keep going, I need to keep getting inspired... :)

[GhostInTheMachine]

very cold! :twisted:
like it alot :thumbsup:

ps. hope that avatar isn't you! :sad:

[eliza]

duddlebug, Nigel Q, ConcreteDonkey, thank you very, very much for the nice words!

W!L ill probably not change the baby cause it fits in well in the overall picture (since what you see's still a part of the whole thing) so spare me :)

birdybear, photoshop 8 :buttrock:

Magnemar yea, it is supposed to be dark for several reasons: i want to achieve that unique belleville mood, if you've watched the animation, and my interpretation of the challenge's topic suggests that feeling.

GhostInTheMachine, theheh, first of all, thank you for the kind comment and no, that's not me, that is him (http://eliza.my.contact.bg/feast.htm):)

[JimmiMak]

OMG... 17.... Right... I 'm off to a small dark corner to shrivell up and die!:cry: miles ahead of so many of us in the most amazingly self styled way:cry: Grrumble Grumble!:blush:

lol... Can't say enough about this... it all works Soooooo well!... The baby's face is pure art... nothing else to it.. and even the mother has it goin on!!... The style reminds me of certain 2000AD artists who had a tendency to colour their character's faces in a manner which hinted toward alchohol abuse lol.... IT WORKS IT WORKS... IT'S ALIVE!!!... calm down James:surprised...

I couldn't ask for more from this entry... it's like cake.. with extra cream:D

Keep it up!!
Jimmi:thumbsup:

[eliza]

JimmiMak, that was such a warm comment, thank you a million times :):) hehe

[Neozoom]

really crazy but , dude it is a good idea!! :)

ncie realisation too.

[Slav]

i see you have changed the characters in your image... i wonder if you have a reason behind changing the image anywho... would be nice if you posted up some more verbal descriptions of your idea.

[jugeras]

keep it going. quite interesting work. cheers

[Velinov]

Hi Liz. :) It looks nice up top know. I'm a little bit disturbed about those green reflex on the
baby's skin. It makes her look some kind like metal. I know that the environment around the
baby is green but if you don't make something to warm the colors of the skin the baby might
be death very soon. Otherwise your composition is strong as always. I know that you have to
put more elements in the picture, maybe that might be a father of this pure, little, pampered
and always wanting something baby!!! You've got excellent sense of color and if there is some
problem I know that you'll eliminate the problem immediately. My last word: Good work. I'll stay
tuned for updates. :thumbsup:





Cheers

17.... *cough choke die* My god, you are amazing. 17! *blink*

Ahem, sorry, it's just that I've never such amazing skill in one so young! You are going to be HUGE if you make a living from your art. Which you most certainly should. I LOVE the expressions on their faces. You've managed to make the baby look so grumpy and demanding and blank to the distress on the face of the mother it's amazing, he really does look like a little terror. And by way of counterpoint, the mother's half-happy, half-distressed look, complete with those circles under her eyes is spot on too, something every mother can no doubt relate to. I really like your colour choices, the fact the green adds an almost sickly over tone adds to the sombre mood of the whole piece. Great, great stuff.

And 17.... woooow. We really need a worship icon...

[GhostInTheMachine]

hi. sorry for the dumb comment before. i didnt remember writing that. maybe you shoudl put your own pic there, then you wouldnt scare big kids like me! :D
very nice site btw.
im with others on simplifying the background - i can see the cushions are a play on the comfort (lack of) but its abit too busy. the red eyes of the mom could be made a little redder, so its more obvious that she's been crying - maybe a tissue stuffed into her sleeve. she looks suitable drained though, you've done really well there.
i had an idea that the baby could be close to a wall or in the corner of a room, not actually facing a wall but close enough for it to be odd behavior.
i really like that oddly compassionate or empathetic teddy, it looks almost as if its touching the baby's arm. im sure this is intentional and i think its genius. :)

[ms@zx]

great piece of work,u have the picture conveyed the story pretty well.some interesting use of colors too,just that i think maybe its alil too much green on the left portion of the baby.or perhaps the mother would have some same value of green of the baby on part of her as well.
i love the expression for the mother and the baby has this nasty kinda look,which i kinda like it:D good luck mate.an impressive entry indeed:thumbsup:

[rePLAY]

Hey it is a lovely work!

It inspires me...and to be honest...it makes me little envy :-)
Works like these are real challanges, I'm glad that u participate.

[eliza]

Neozoom, im really glad you find my idea interesting:)

jugeras, Velinov, thank you too guys for replying!

much appreciated

Slav, yes, i changed the overall concept some time before entering the contest, though you can still see my initial approach towards that interpretation of topic in one of sketches ive provided. was that what you were asking about or something else? i hope i understood you right

Zepyhri, bulls eye! that is Exactly what i tried to achieve as expressions and youve formulated it so precisely im simply amazed! and thank you so much for the other remarks too, hehe

GhostInTheMachine, i didnt find your comments dumb at all; on the contrary, it felt really awesome that you were interested not only in my contest entry but in some minor details such as an avatar:) and the thing about the teddy...since you revealed my secret (:D ) yea, it is put there with a purpose, and i hope the idea'd be more visible what i finally start to complete the piece...though you got it already i think, no?

ms@sx, thats exactly what my next update will be about - light and its reflections:) there is still so much to complete i cannot even imagine;however, thank you for making a remark on that,im glad you see the steps of what is needed to be improved my way!

[eliza]

rePLAY, no need of envy, ideas provoke other ideas and each piece and interpretation is unique, though unified under one Big Topic! thank you for commenting:buttrock:

[GhostInTheMachine]

erm... *cough* yes. can u change your avatar now please :D

[BlacKeri]

Hehe, lovely idea, I totally love the black humour -colored description. Awesome so far :)

Btw, Gotta love the lightning too :D

[eliza]

thanks BlacKeri:thumbsup:

GhostInTheMachine, come on, i love that face, even though it is male:)

yess, finally, here is the father, all enthusiastic to entertain that little cherub-like brat:) thanks to all friends who pushed me to hurry up with drawing the other servant!^^

[GhostInTheMachine]

what can i say... very impressive! your a true photoshop jedi, lady. (i dunno where that came from). however the emphasis is now a little diluted and it'd take more consideration to understand. it is subtle, but maybe too subtle?
as soon as you make the father look desperate this image will become very strong. the background still needs work. the father side' wall looks good but the cushions are still overwhelming and the wall behind the mother looks fudged - im sure its not finished. maybe you can consider simpler shapes for the whole background. hope that wasnt too critical!
your doing really well! it'l b emotive. :D


btw - i can't get used to that face (avatar). i still think *wuuu!* :argh: every time i see it.
...pretty please? :blush:

[eliza]

voalà! mister GhostInTheMachine, it is changed, that once shouting avatar of mine;) hope you like this one more, hehe
i'll be finally starting the background since i've abandoned it a bit after spending so much time on the characters..

[Vahn]

Wow this is really good eliza .... I really like the shapes in the bg ...the colors are very cool...the parents wearing black .... hoooraaay, I love black :D

The mothers expression couldnt be better! Hehe and the father looks a bit like chandler from friends :)

very cool Art on your website too :thumbsup: u got another Fan !

[GhostInTheMachine]

i look forward to the result on the bg. :)
much better avatar pic btw - the last one just wasn't you! :D

[nebezial]

well all i can say is wow, u really captured those emotions, i love the way u made father behave like a royal jester, perfect!:thumbsup: ... oh and as u can see im still too frickin stupid to fix up my signature link:sad:

[GhostInTheMachine]

i think i understand this a little better now, its not so literal as a 'demon baby', is it? this is about looking at a relationship and understanding a dynamic. gee i could make myself look thick here :) ...thats why the scene isnt too strange, its got odd lighting just because you (the viewer) are looking on it in that 'light'. ther fact the mothers (and fathers) eyes are just the same lead me to that.


... ok im not all that bright, thats obvious isnt it? :D

...ill go back to my cad drawings now :)

[eliza]

Vahn, thanks a bunch for the kind words, im really fascinated that you've spent some time to browse my site too:)
nebezial, thanks once more man, hope you'll enjoy my future updates as well~ weird thing with the signature, the code didn't work? and you removed the spaces within the command? it should've worked, hmm..
GhostInTheMachine, yesss, absolutely! i got my major inspiration from some old baby photos (of me) i found in a drawer...:twisted:

[eliza]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/8/7364/7364_1114778074_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/8/7364/7364_1114778074_large.jpg)

as you can see, big, big changes with the background, i really prefer that darker nuance (now most light falls on the master!) i am actually quite content with the whole composition, hope you like it too..

[arkinet]

absolutely great... the lights, composition, expressions, subtle details... i have nothing to say:thumbsup: :thumbsup: ... one thng i observed, theres a similarity bet. your avatar & the 'mommy' n the image, is that you?:)

[W-I-L]

this is really very good. And so you should be pleased with the composition.. it works very well. I think this may be one of my favourite images from you. Your wokr is truly inspiring and you are one of my favourite artists. i hope you get in the top few]

ps. nice avatar... and arkiniet is right.. similiar to the mother, you look (i sound like yoda there)

[eliza]

arkinet, W!L, thank you guys for the comments! that similarity you found was not intentional, i can assure you. i did not use myself as a reference for the mother, i used my own mom actually. i guess that is where the resemblance comes from, even though the parents' expressions are made up by me:)

[walrus]

Really nice work so far, Eliza. The lighting is terrific. I like the addition of the father and especially his expression. It's hard to read quite what's in his hand... maybe if it didn't overlap so much with the teddy bear and other background elements, it'd be easier to see. And one other note: The parents don't seem to be pushing any weight down on the bed itself. Normally, one would expect some sort of indentation and wrinkles in the bedspread under the pressure of his elbows and her knees... There's hints of that here, but more might give a better impression of weight, as their entire weight is being places on their elbows/knees.
Anyhow, plenty of time.... Good luck with it!

-mike

[jeromoo]

HaHaHa, I adore the simplicity of this concept! I like how you made the parents 'give up' their master bed to the baby. I think the baby could look more assertive and authoritative simply by holding the spectre that was beside him/her like a king/queen or wearing the crown. But that is not neccessary.

I think you can enhance the mood by making the centre a bit more colourful by adding a few other colours like red (strawberries, cherry, red cake, red lollipop and the like) so that the master (baby) becomes a stronger point of interest whilst the rest of the picture like the servants (parents) stay muted.

keep up the great work, eliza!

[GhostInTheMachine]

i like it. very nice detailing.

l think it could benefit from a lamp+table on the fathers side of the bed. it doesnt have to explain the light too literally but give alittle more feature to the room. it feels very empty, like your in a spare room thats just been cleared out, or something. also the mothers right arm needs work. add the depressions inthe bed as well, that was a good suggestion. i think you can afford to experiment now, since the basis of everything is down already. throw in a few of you subtle concepts to enhance the image. very skillful. well done :D

[eliza]

walrus, thanks man, you poited out the places of the drawing which i am currently working on (especially the bed, its kinda tough.) good luck with your entry
jeromoo, hehe, thank you for the words "I adore the simplicity of this concept!", that was what i really tried to achieve..in the beginning, the baby was indeed holding the sceptre but it was way to literal, so i decided the infant only to look at that object no matter that the parents offer it a bunch of other goodies:)
GhostInTheMachine, yesss, its experiment time, thank god, i was really worried i would not have enough time to complete the overall concept.. what happened with your autoportrait? i liked it:)

[MDN67]

the work on the details is very great, i think this pic will be a great piece of art, good work

[Jovi]

your work is totally and brutally awesome, but I'm not surprised at all. I'm getting used to your work beeing flawless

[GhostInTheMachine]

yesss, its experiment time, thank god good news! im looking forward to your work!:D my sp may go back up but i really need to work on it - a bad self portrait is hard to live with! :)
id be interested to hear what you think of my new concept. its basically derived from the luc besson film, leon. the image isnt dark, but i guess the film and feel of the concept is about as dark as the last one. ne way, work hard! :D

[calisto-lynn]

i love ur style! keep it up!:thumbsup:

[choptider]

whoua!
great work, i can't belive you are only 17 years old:eek:

working on the crazy details. a new version of the toy developed.


thank you all for the support!

[GhostInTheMachine]

hah! love your magnification. this is pretty much me as a baby, too - humourless + and slightly evil. :twisted:

is this your final crop then?

more details! :D

[Mardukk]

Woaaw!!!
You are in my age and paint so great... you are very talented on your age ;) but probably you hear that every day;)

[T-lapia]

aint this pic just the truth :)

[O.Martin]

Lovely drawing style. Great painting and mode/light :thumbsup:

[W-I-L]

that looks so cool.

[GhostInTheMachine]

im just taking a second look eliza, and this is looking superb. its really well balanced now, its doesn't look like it needs any more. not to say you cant add to it, ofcourse. maybe you could very gently texture the mothers top. i still think you should break up the light a little on the fathers head, like with just a few hairs, or something.


just had an idea, dont know if its good tho - more subtle than the scepter and crown would be scattered chess pieces (im sure you get the idea). is that too subtle? they would look great on the bed.
well done, again. :D

[AlexGrigorov]

Whoa.. Liz great image and characters... the master baby rocks:) remeinds me my childhood:D
I realy like your dark visons:) Go Liz, kick some but;)!
Pozdravi! :thumbsup::bounce:

[TheMagnetic]

wow eliza! this is really looking good. I think that the lighting is absolutely wonderful and I still love the womens expression. soft, kindhearted, mature yet she retains her beauty. very wonderfull!

[eliza]

thank you all for the warm words! final touches of the work, some big changes perhaps? im still thinking about that option. .. anyways

GhostInTheMachine, dont worry sir, this is not the final image yet, still too many things to work on:) thanks!

lupi, hehe, you've been a naughty baby, haven't you? ;) thanks for the nice comment!

[thewicky]

I realy love your work, especially the mother's face! Great picture!:thumbsup:

[Vectorius]

That's a good work!!:bounce: I came to see your image there is that some weeks..and I am surprised to see the evolution!! a very nice picture! congratulation!!:applause:

yup, I'm quite ready with the overall final look of the image. Of course, I still have lots of work to do esp. on the bed and background.. but I get a bit too tired working with that huge one-layer drawing (1 layer cuz with more the computer gets stuck:)

the wicky, thank you darling for the kind words, I'm glad you find the mom's face amusing!
Fiolka Alexandre, hehe, yes, the image turned out to be quite different from the initial skeches, doodles, etc. thanks for visiting me again;)

[GhostInTheMachine]

good work. well done. :applause:

[calisto-lynn]

looks great!:thumbsup:

[spacesnail]

Wow :eek: :thumbsup: Undoubtly, you have great skills Congratulations :applause: Your work is really stunningJust one little crit about the scepter that seems to be floating over the bed... but you wrote you had to go on with tweakings, so...

Bravo anyway

Cheers

[duddlebug]

As a first time dad...two weeks in... and 'enjoying' a few sleepless nights... i think this is great.

I commented much earlier on the technique on the baby, and it works great across the whole image. A really clever interpretation of the theme. Cool stuff. :thumbsup:

[JoseHerb]

This picture is awesome. I love the expression on the baby's face. I think it's the best master and servant entry so far.

[eliza]

GhostInTheMachine, you've been such a support throughout the contest, thank you so much!
calisto, thanks again and hope you'll like the final entry too (it might be a bit different;))
spacesnail, gratitude for pointing that out, i'm currently working on such details!
duddlebug, congratulations sir!! that was one of the most awesome news i've heard lately! i trully believe that this type of master-servant relationship is the best one there can be, the most enjoyable and desired! wish you all the best, sincerely! :)

[TheMagnetic]

always amazed at the beauty of this peice. I think what sells it for me is the expression of the woman. she kinda looks like a my friend Yana. very nice, very nice. so when do you think that youll be done?

[werezoo]

Can't believe I haven't seen this one yet, great work!! I love the expresions on their faces and the detail in the background. Great color scheme as well. Keep up the good work!

[beelow]

I like this one. I like the fact that this image explains itself. You already know that the baby is the master... ain't that a trip? Cool concept, great painting, and nice coloring. Good Hustle and good Luck!:thumbsup:

[Samuraikuroi]

Very nice work...warm and very beautiful.

[Belhaven]

wow, youve got a really cool style! youve managed to take photos and make them not look like photos! props to you.

[NinjaA55N]

Simply love that pic. Turned out really nice. And a fresh and original theme :) good luck!

[eliza]

hey,hey..
xric7, thank you very much for liking my piece:)
Samanthie, gratitude to you too!
Belhaven, yea, it was really hard to combine lame reference pictures with that weird realistically unrealistic, so to say, style i experimented with:) so i take that as a compliment, thanks!
NinjaASSN, the admiration is shared!


now.. off to the final images:)

[Propictales]

You have a very nice style! I also like the coloring pretty much. Especially with the desaturated background!

Have fun!

So this is it, completed!
I think the image is quite self-explanatory; however, I will gladly provide a small description of my concept:
From the first moment of its life, a baby becomes the one and only master in the house since it requires lots and lots of care, love, and of course responsibility. Nevertheless, many people, including my parents, told me that this had been the one time during which they loved being servants:) If I could, I’d like to say to that baby “stop looking that way, one day, you too will be a servant,” hehe.

Thank you all for the nice comments, crits and support! This was indeed a thrilling challenge:)

[CoreyArtE]

I cant stop laughing everytime I look at this one! That baby's face is so funny! Like he's evil and demanding, which is what makes it obvious he's the master ofcourse. But wow, one of my favorite concepts in the whole contest. I really like this. Plus I learned alittle from your technique! Best of luck!

[aliasali]

In my opinion,out of all of those organic models which im involved in,its FANTASTIC..the idea is good,but FANTASTIC,becouse of the face expressions and the overall mood...i really loved that...u know the exp as good as possible..and the realism of this works is so high.its flawless.although i dont like full-realistis works,but the exp..anyway,u have my vote,cuz of the expressions!!!:thumbsup: ;)

[blakbird]

..and lovely. EXTREMELY ORIGINAL. :thumbsup:

[Jezzarts]

he he, too true, this is so well painted. love the lighting! good luck with the judging:thumbsup:

[Kiko_68]

If I could, I’d like to say to that baby “stop looking that way, one day, you too will be a servant,” hehe

I just noticed your comment to the picture - very nice and funny.
Great work, Eliza!

[mangual]

Nice expressions on all 3 faces.
Overall it is very artistic and conveys the emotional servitude of parents!

Technically, the only thing I would say is that some of the shadows don't seem to go with the light sources. But who knows! It's pretty much perfect nevermind, lol.
