[Fiasko]

Unbeleavable :eek::applause: it's like, that this picture has a spirit:thumbsup:

[Neddog]

This piece is fantastic! I can feel the emotion in it. This is EXACTLY how my girlfriend feels as well, when she runs out of perfume. ;)

[velvetta]

linda you're a genius(in my opinion the best digital artist)! i'll never stop to admire you and your works..you're an endless surprise!
5 stars are not enough to to mark the quality of your paintings, and this piece is not an exception:applause:. Very emotional.

:thumbsup:

[llama]

5 stars!!!
This quiet atmosphere just feel so good~~~~~

[SamsonsReaper]

very interresting composition, and colors. a couple of things bother me though

1: in some places you paint the leaves detailed, with texture and all, and at the left side of the picture you cant really make out the leaves, and it looks abit like clonestamp effect.

2:The dark black spots look airbrushed on top of the painting, they dont really interract with the leaves

alil crit among the "wows" , hoppas jag inte är ute på hal is ;)

[Salubri3i]

that's really good.

for a moment there i thought it was frodo with the tear of erendia. :D

nice work, exp the skintone's great :)

[e-apollo]

If any artist can provoke the human emotion with such a panting, you've certainly captured that beautiful emotion. Never had ever the chance to ever leave you a comment, but always been watching your beautiful pieces come together. This is one of my many favorites of yours. Keep it up. I look forward to your Furiae book!

[candle]

woooooow i like it :eek:

[sick-osiris]

it looks fantastic linda. the skin tones and lighting are fabulous and so tangible . great job !

Hi linda
your artwork was very real . I want to know how you designed it?
If it is possible please post some progress levels of painting of your artwork.please please please:thumbsup:

[MayYeo]

Holy Jesus... I thought you were perfect Linda, but with every artwork you bring to life, you demonstrate you prove yourself and can make perfect things even better. This is truly a masterpiece... Not only because of you impecable and well-known technique, but the emotion within... The tones, the realism of the skin (the nose, the nose!!), the composition... Everything is greatly done. I cannot say further more, I'm in awe

[nnina]

it's awsome!
your works motivate me to paint! you are getting more and more perfect with every image..

[fenglinyi]

Everytime I think I've seen the best from you (Spoiled is hanging on my wall) you produce something using a different approach that shows just how versatile you are.

I'm very glad to see your sharing more and more of your work.

[Dianae]

That's your most beautiful painting IMHO.... Everything looks perfect and very very subtle.
5 stars for this wonderful masterpiece! :applause:

[republika]

Breathtaking. Different from your other works but beautiful as always. Love the details.

[chuyangele]

It's absolutely beautiful
However, May I ask(if this has not been asked before) that why the forefinger of his right hand seems has four parts(is it called limb?sry about my English) instead of the normal three, or is it a very long limb with two short limbs?
and the forefinger of his lefthand seems only has 2 parts(or with a very short limb at the front)
I'm just wondering why seems everything else is painted to scale and kinda "realistic" but not the fingers?what's the special thing hidden here. does it have some special meaning or this is just looks prettier than the normal finger?

[LuisNCT]

Simply BEAUTIFUL. The face of the girl, with all the detail in the zone of eyes and nose... no words

[CalvinChoy]

The skin tone lol . . insane :S

[shoe-girl]

Wooo.The lighting and details are extremely well done.I like the way to paint character's skin,the pores of his skin can be saw clearly.The technique is definitely new.

[mornie]

This one makes me wanna cry every time I see it. I'm not sure if it's because the painting's so sad, or because it's so good.

Meep. Wow. I love all of your work, but this is my favourite so far, 'cept maybe "Spoiled." I guess I'll have to have two favourites. I wish this were in the posterbook. :P

[SLK]

That's a very nice and lovely work, but it's not stylish to me .. :)

[deadman4ever]

I really like your work! Everything are so perfect...especialy the face, it has so many details!

[behindfaces]

i liked the mode so much

[MrFreeman]

:) Great Work Linda

really inspirational. I just love the detail and mood of the piece.

I'm really pleased that you stuck with this and achieved the look and feel you were after.

Interesting to see that you use Photoshop to blend as I find the blender brushes in Painter far easier to use... mmmm must have another look :)

[SCYTHRE]

PERFECT as always:thumbsup: Great mood. awesome work on that potion:bounce: and really cool colours.

[ninth_level_dan]

looking at the image, there is one thing that still makes the character look alive, and that's the jaw. The model looks like they had their mouth closed when posing. When a person has died, the muscles in the jaw go slack. A person laying on their side when dead will have a mouth very slightly open, or at the very least, the lips will no longer meet symmetrically, because the lower jaw will have slid "sideways" under the pull of gravity. Like when you fall asleep and start to drool :)
The work is gorgeous, but Linda's statement mentions specifically the trouble she went through to make the character look deceased, and I think that was the only thing not quite selling it for me.
I'm not saying the character should have had a slack jaw hanging open... I think that probably would have spoiled the piece. The idea here I'm sure was to create a beautiful image, not a photograph of a dead person in all it's morbidity.

[vana]

I never , or almost never reply to some other thread... But this one , i really had to reply (even, linda , u'll maybe never see it , but at leat i had to write it !)
(eeee first , forget all the mistake i may do , english is only my sec. language at all ^^)
I'm just totally charmed by this piece , more than all of the other ! (if it is possible ^^) . The skin of your character is simply amazing , i could look at the skin of my boyfriend next to me and find that your character's skin look more realistic then his one ! I'm really anxious to see your furiae book and hope i'll be able to get it ! (i'm from canada , that not that easy !) so i just wanted to express myself on this beautiful and so goergeous piece ! I'm really not the only one who think like that but i'ts so great to express ourselves loool ^^.
I wanna paint much more like you ! learnnnnn meeeeee
lool just kiding ^^
see ya ^^

[phoenix]

madam i bow down my head in respect..truely this is a sad picture to see, it has the feelings and the mood...Totally love it...very very nice work...


5 stars

Regards

[meshman]

Looking Good!

Supernice

[Rybbb]

For me it's incredible. The mood and the details are perfect

[slatr]

I had such a vision of how I wanted it – peaceful yet sad, because the character depicted is no longer alive... and it was hard. It was very hard.



You did well. As soon as I opened the image, I knew they were no longer alive and it made me jump. To convey that instantly.. amazing.

[Womball]

This is a really stunning image! Very expressive too. I love the realism of it, colors and shapes. It does feel like a classical painting too. Your hands are probably the most impressive part of it the picture, they look very accurate and they seem to be conveying a message.

[jabba]

Incredible technical perfection.
very impressive and expressive work!

[baba_maal]

Mind blowing work in photoshop ever i seen in my life, i thot only 18th and 19th century artist were the real one, But linda you have prooved 21st artsit are more challanging.
My qeustion is how much time have you spent to finish this master piece?
I;m wonder to observe thoes faccial texture how did you done that?

Thanks
Baba

[SnowNicole]

LOVE !so extraordinarily handsome

[Bluefley]

I tough that was a photo, even at full size the brush strokes are almost not visible...truly a masterpiece....wow crazy stuff...

[Nemes]

Well First things 1st - "Hi Linda" :) I just discovered you or rather your work and was floored by it heh.

I have many many questions but realise you're probably a busy person and have about a gazillion online acquaintances who are for-ever asking questions of you and praying on your time, so I will limit the questions heh :)

Firstly, what advice would you give to someone such as myself, who like you 8 yr's ago was it? has just gotten their 1st Wacom tablet and copies of PS CS 2 & Painter IX.5 ?

The 2 applications in question are very daunting to me right now hehe, and I am very confused by allot of the settings within them, but I am slowly plodding along at my own pace and exploring as best I can.

At the moment things like resolution and the whole ppi and diameter size of canvases are very confusing lol; for instance, I don't get how say a canvas of 250 by 352 at 96 ppi is smaller on screen inside PS CS 2 in size, than a canvas of the same size diameters but with 300 ppi?

That vexes me ALLOT heh, because to me I always thought that ppi simply meant that the bigger the value the more times a section of the canvas has been divided into more pixels i.e. a square gets divided into 4, then again into 8, then again into 16 etc, and if that is so then why one earth is the canvas getting bigger? in theory it shouldn't and all that should be happening is the canvas is getting more pixels within via being divided and divided. lol

Anyways.. as you can see I am very much the beginner, so I guess the most important question I would like to ask of you is what sources did you sue yourself when at the stage I am at right now, who were the artists that you went to looking for tutorials and inspiration, advice etc?

Thanks for the inspiration you give me and others, and congratulations on another wonderful piece of digital art work :)

The skin tones just glow on my monitor. Magical stuff. Reminds me a bit of the oil paintings of Donato Giancola. He does marvellous things with flesh tones also. Nice to see this sort of quality transferred to the digital realm.

Excellent stuff.

Cheers,
Nick

[wiserender]

Increadible detail. The only thing that might make it beter is croping some of the left side of the image off, unless you need the face dead center like that.

Great stuff.

[kirigoi]

Absolutely beautiful; probably my favourite painting you've done. Does anyone know if this is in Expose 4? I'd love to see a higher resolution print, and I've pre-ordered the book.

[jcbray]

I'll be honest...i didn't flick through all the fan (of which i am one) responses to see if this was covered.To me the third finger of the right hand is a little uniform, in that it's hard to see the differentiation between finger segments...

I know it's possibly a light and angle issue, but it just struck me that something was missing there....:$

Anyways, it's a great piece and exceptionally made :) the previous comment is just a small thing I thought was a tiny bit off, not to sound like I only have criticisms, I just can't be bothered going thorugh the encyclopedia of things that were great.

[Quizboy]

After God i could find u only,so now i m came down on my knees jus for u ,U are second mind blowing creater for me after the great God.

Linda, this piece is great!! I learned of who you are through the D'artiste book from Ballistic and have been hooked on your stuff ever since. I must say, I absolutley love you!!!

I've picked you as my favorite digital artist and always tell people to check out your site. I work with a bunch of other artists and they are mind blown when they see your stuff. Just like in this piece, you have a very nice level of details in your work. Your since of color is astounding and the enviornments and feeling you capture in your work is wonderful. Very refreshing!

I picked up the Imagine FX magazine that features you too. Now, I'm a subscriber. LOL!

Thanks for sharing your art with us. Can't wait to see your new piece that you tease us all with on your website!

Cheers,

Have liked your paint all the time , very very Beautiful ！ i like it~~~ 5 Staaaaaaars ~~~

your stuff is ammong the best.
I like your zombie people the most.

[Blessing]

If I should write what I feel looking at your work, probably I could fill pages, or type nothing at all. Too many words, and I guess that they're not enough. And when I say "your work" I mean all your artwork. When I saw "These Woods", four years ago, I fell in love inmediately with that image and all the others that you painted. And that you will paint, because I'm still in love and I know that I will be for all my life.
You're the best, simple as that.
All my respect.

Bless

PS1: I'm still laughing about the guy that asked you to marry him. You rock, Linda, that kind of things never happens to me. :applause:
PS2: Sorry for my terrible english.

It is depicted to a nicety :thumbsup:

[vivien82]

it is a beautiful piece. the title is perfect, it tells a story of it's own but still makes me wonder why she is gone, if it was by her own will or if it was inflicted upon her.... i have j'adore and from now on it will always remind me of this sad and touching painting :)

...wonderful and inspiring work as always.

Loved this Painting when I first happened upon it in ImagineFX magazine, I still love it!

Beauty and sadness in the same Painting remarkable!!!:thumbsup:

[Gaffer]

I don't know why, but this made me think of the CD cover art for Enya's Sheapard Moons album...or Watermark.

Beautiful skin tones and overall color fits the mood. The fall leaves are a nice touch, given the subject.

This is just a beautiful piece - thank you for not giving up on it!

Title: Gone
Name: Linda Bergkvist
Country: Sweden
Software: Painter, Photoshop

I've decided to share my final piece for the Furiae book, since I've submitted it to Exposé 4, anyway :]

I've no inclination to go into the story behind it right now... but the painting took me ages to complete. I had such a vision of how I wanted it – peaceful yet sad, because the character depicted is no longer alive... and it was hard. It was very hard. A friend of mine, Johan, posed for the references almost half a year ago, and I tried to finish the picture on many occasions without ever quite 'getting' it. I couldn't achieve the look I wanted no matter how hard I tried.

Then, a while ago, I sat down and finally I caught the feeling for it. I think it was in the skintone that made the difference. Or perhaps the textures. Something 'clicked', anyway, the way things do very rarely.

The piece is done about 50% in Photoshop, 50% in Painter... with a lot of different textures applied chiefly to the foliage to give it the right look. The skintone is painted almost exclusively in Photoshop as I still blend colours best there :) The face, some people tell me, resembles my own – but for once I wasn't using myself as the reference! Not fair!

My Dior perfume modelled for the bottle, so I guess I sort of snagged the general shape of that bottle from J'adore – if you've seen the bottle, you know what I mean. In the end, I think the hands and the bottle took by far the longest to make. After, I've refrained from painting any other detailed hands, hehe, I guess these just took the spirit out of me.

And for the close-ups:

For a full size detail:

Leave the woman alone.

[cabotinecco]

Yes,linda is a very kind of girl ,and a very great artiest.
We love her paintings forever.:twisted:

[greekgodgeo]

Hmm... those examples are very convincing. I've done some reasearch myself, and this is what I found:

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t259/enaylafraud/boat.jpg

What's more disappointing is the hair tutorial; I brightened up my monitor and I can clearly see the photo she's blending. I brightened up one of her steps so you can clearly see it:

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t259/enaylafraud/faketut.jpg

It looks like she is in fact a liar; She should mention she uses photos in her works, especially in a tutorial.

[greekgodgeo]

Linda is a Friend of the community and she has been a big part of Cgtalk from day one.
-R

Oh I didn't know that. I guess she's allowed to create fake tutorials and claim she paints them from scratch. It's OK for her to lie to her viewers because 'she's a friend of the community'. Linda Bergkvist a liar and a con artist, and isn't capable of doing what she claims she can. I have no better term for someone that creates fake tutorials, teaching others to paint, when she's photomanipulating.

Robert, tell me why you feel this is OK:

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t259/enaylafraud/faketut.jpg

[Zeicon]

I wonder if that's why she refused to make a video tutorial in which you see her paint a picture from scratch? Even though the community was begging her...

[greekgodgeo]

I wonder if that's why she refused to make a video tutorial in which you see her paint a picture from scratch? Even though the community was begging her...

Exactly. She nearly had a heart attack when she learned she had to present a 'sketch' for her Master and Servant entry. She doesn't want anybody to see how she works. CG Society isn't doing anything about this, sadly.

[killer-instinct93]

I think you should change your nickname from greekgodgeo to Deep Throat

[greekgodgeo]

* post edited, sorry about that.

[killer-instinct93]

It was a compliment. Learn some history.

Deep Throat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Throat_(Watergate))

[BadG3r]

ok.

if she says its 100% her work.. bad.
if she uses reerences... so what.

the best example is the picture where you clearly recognize the refpic (girl looking to right top corner). the beatuy of the pic lies in th hair and the colors... so what.

i read some posts now and was on conceptart.org and learned that some say she declares her technique and some say she would be freakin hot.

hope this whole "lets rub mud in ones face" is not because of an abadoned love or she got a job you loved to get too.

with the words of an admin on conceptart:
go do some art.

close this one please. not involved not even in the whole linda hype, but hurts me nontheless

[Maidith]

Exactly. She nearly had a heart attack when she learned she had to present a 'sketch' for her Master and Servant entry.

Now what do you mean? She DID present a sketch for her entry. In fact, she posted several sketches, all of which show a lot of experience in digital painting. She has fabulous painting skills.

I'll cut to the chase; This is SLICKGREEKGEO. I've posted a lot of things the last year or so, that I deeply regret. I offended a couple of mods in the process, in forums I highly respect, including this one. There's a lot of reasons why I did this; Personal problems, health* problems, and my own stupidity. I took a couple of months 'off', so to speak, to get it together. And I finally have.

I want to apologize to you personally and anyone else at CG Talk that I ever disrespected, including ENAYLA. I regret my actions and most, if not all the posts I made to those people (and anyone else I offended in the process). It was immature and childish, and it's something I'm ashamed of. I don't want to be known as the enayla stalker. I don't want to be remembered as an a-whole. I have no one to blame but myself for my actions; It's something I'll have to live with for the rest of my life.

You'll NEVER see me post anything offensive to anyone in the future (on CG Talk or any other forum, for that matter). I want to rebulid my reputation, and I want to do this by being courteous and polite to others. I'd like a fresh start if that's not too much to ask, and I hope I'll be forgiven through time. I can only hope you accept my apology.

Thank you for your time.

It's like a 17th century art painting.
No one could do better.
