Amazing work, as usual. I have not much to say, it's just wonderful.
Five stars, for sure. I love the work and the concept. You rock!

[Iridyse]

Beautiful! I really like the colours. There seems to be so much detail in this image, closeups pretty please? :)

[eruan]

Ahhh... it's beautiful! :love:I love all the details in the background, her hair, her dress, her fan... amazing work :)

[niva]

Hi Melanie,

Great image again, you've improved a lot. I particularly love the contrast in this image. Seems like you modeled for yourself once again.

[Gryphon]

Exellent job. Be proud, be very proud!

[JTD]

Eskarina, you are such a prolific artist, continually producing beautiful works in such short time frames. And since your subjects are usually interpretations of yourself, you must be the belle of France. But I don't see the same story in the painting as the one you're telling. To me, it looks like she has cheated death (if the mirror is revealing her true self) and death has come to reclaim what belongs to it; but her child will live (if the dove is any indication of hope). Well, I guess that the mark of a truly great artist is to express such deep meaning on so many different levels that the end result can mean different things to different people. Very beautiful painting, Eskarina!

[slickgreekgeo]

This is one of your strongest works; You have a very crisp, detailed style that's truely impressive. Please post some close ups, 5 star work.

[ghassemfarhany]

wow masterpiece

[jsandoval]

Awesome! Your work is truly amazing, I like the details as hands trying to reclaim her in dress and walls (these lasts hands seem to crawl toward her). Very inspiring images and stories, my personal favorite is Pearl.

[Vanaheim5v]

just amazing, excellent work :thumbsup:

[Shadowbrooke]

wow...I only have one thing to say...EXQUISITE!! :applause:

[alitunch]

very bad work...just kidding :) ...i am curious about how much time you spend on it...5 stars

[Salubri3i]

fantastic stuff as always. i really like the subjects you choose and the general classical art approach that you give your works. :thumbsup:

[SeifoSid]

yet another amazing work, 5 stars as usual and lovely concept....

[waheednasir]

thats an impressive work...i like the softness of her dress.

[EhsanD]

wooww... I like all specialy the concept in there ... :thumbsup:
aah look at her chest n belly ...seems part of an old woman body ...
great job ...

[kiboSVK]

I love atmospheric and dramatic pic almost shadow hand gr8 details as always 5*

[BGHart]

Before I read your explanation I had another idea about this image. It was the evil face in the mirror combined with her pregnancy that made me think of "Rosemaries baby". But your story is very good too. :) Excellent painting. I love all the details. :applause: 5 stars for sure. :) Britta

[Spc]

WoW.
:love:

5 Stars!

[Zhaan]

Comme toujours c'est beau comme tout et l'histoire est sympa ! :love:
J'aurais juste aimé voir des closeups enfin bon ;)
5 stars ! :buttrock:

[BlacKeri]

Great work Melanie :) the face is what I love the most - fantastic technical rendering, expression and features.

After staring at the piece for a while, one thing came into view: Maybe it is just me, but aren't the arms+forearms a bit too small in comparison to the head?

Either way, it's still fabulous. One of your best works to date!

[yeyo]

WoW man !! Very god work ;)


Very detailed one

5 for sure

[Eskarina]

So the close up
http://www.eskarina-circus.com/resources/cu_lya.jpg

thank you so much everyone, i'm really happy you like her :)

[Baybeestar]

Oh my goodness, gorgeous painting :) I love hands in the wall paper...reminds of the freaky images I see in wooden doors... Great story as well...to me, the mirror shows how she sees herself for thinking of killing herself and her unborn child...Again, lovely piece!

[jmBoekestein]

very intruiging and confronting as well, I really like it! :thumbsup:

[elnady]

Awesome work Melanie

Very inspiring, i love it :)

[olive2d]

WAW! really nice as usual!
incredible athmosphere and lighting.
(merci pour mes yeux :) Mélanie)

[TinTinloveInzaghi]

I LOVE YOUR STYLE OF THE PICTURE~

It's so beautiful!:thumbsup: :bounce:

[rocketmaestro]

That is it! I quit! I cannot touch my tablet anymore after this painting! I will never be able to come even close to this perfection! ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING!

[Iridyse]

Thank you so much for the closeups! The level of detail is mindboggling! Fantastic.

Just curious, is the image in the fan symbolic of something, or does it have a story behind it? I asked because I haven't really seen hand fans with human figures on them, so I was wondering if there's more to it.

[Fantast]

Amazing WORK ! 5+++++ :thumbsup:

[arhcamt]

waw this is gorgeous. i've seen this in deviantart but looks better here! :D
the details are awesome. like the expression in the mirror. i have a feeling she's resembling someone i know but i can't remember who.. strange..
anyway, wonderful art :)

[Eskarina]

Thank you again everyone :)

Shreya , yep you're right, the little scene/image you can see on the fan will be another painting, when they were together...

[deadman4ever]

:drool: oohh...amazing!

[Spc]

Melanie you really are amazing.
I think this should be front page.
:bowdown:

[Katea]

Melanie, you rock :)
Perfect :)

[Isatche]

OH-MY-GOD! This is GREAT!
How about some tutorial or something?

[Euphrosyne]

Just wonderful! I particularly love the mysterious mood you have set in this piece. The details and techniques are superb. You have really made a masterful and moving painting here. Congratulations on a stunning success.

[samisan333]

[ChewyPixels]

Another beautiful masterpiece! Congrats! :thumbsup:

[adeleng]

wow! keep it up

[OreoJackson]

Wow! Fantastic work! One thing that sticks out too much for me thought is the ghostly hand on the right in the wallpaper... it's a little too obvious i think. Other than that it's a great image.

[irananimator]

Wooow
Great job.I like it

[mindrot]

Great work. Love the dress.

Upper arms seem a tad short to me.

~M~

[t1z10]

Great work Melanie.
You're simply unique.

[mahmoudcg]

man how did you make this?
her look is extremely beautiful. the dress...the shadows.. the bird...cruel skills!and the story is great too.
she's my wallpaper now

[thepineman]

i like this image you made but i wonder whats your interpretation of those hands and the reflections on the mirror?

[Loulu79]

Talk about Desperate Housewife!

Beyond dreamy! :love:

Well...the only downside to this piece is....your story isn't so precise to me: I feel there's so much more to the story. Well don't argue with me: the pic says so. :shrug: :)

[cjs1106]

i like ....................

[Fantasis]

Nice, i can see natalie portman in the eyes and the mouth is monica bellucci ;P

[HappyCalaveras]

So much fine detail and all so beautifully rendered! I couldn't even begin to make suggestions for improvement, it's fantastic - great work!

[michael-olszak]

i love this piece. lovely face on that girl and a pretty scary scene. cool stuff

[varma]

Beautiful work and great expression!
:thumbsup:

[FabioMSilva]

ces magnifiqué! Trés bien!:thumbsup:

[nastya]

You are good artist, I saw your picture and decided to join this website after being here for long time just to say congratulation.

[Matt]

Melanie, have you ever attempted painting likenesses? I would love to see some historical figures painted by you.

[Abaddon]

Lovely work. There is an intriguing vibe behind those eyes.

[exigent]

She looks alot like Natalie Portman... did you use her for reference? Great job!

[edux]

Beautiful! I really really really love your work

[wenbozhang]

Beautiful! I really like the colours. There seems to be so much detail in this image, closeups pretty please?

[no-fear]

oooooo
great work
5 star

[BlueGraph]

5 STARS! She's wonderful!

[kimlee]

Wow great work!!!

[nolxev]

Always top work :thumbsup:

[ablorat]

nicely done!:thumbsup: a little static though IMO

[johnshavers]

Yes, you are indeed talking to a rookie here, but so be it! I am totally new to 2D and 3D art, but it is something I would really like to get into someday. I know Photoshop and Maya are the two best softwares, but what kind of computer should I be buying to put it on? Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, what? I know that Linux is probably the best operating system, but anyting that anyone can offer would help. Be nice please. Thanx!

[Weming]

I like the hands on the woman's dress.

[Weming]

this is a wonderful painter,and I like the hands on the woman's dress.

[artist2]

fantastic work!

[Chokmah]

WOW! Great work Melanie ! :thumbsup:

I don't know why but.....It reminds me the story of 'Elizabeth Bathory'...

[PapaNinja]

Encore une fois, très beau travail. Rien à dire de plus. Bravo! :applause:

[kimlee]

She's wondeful!!!

[solidexx]

I'm very impressed of that work. The girl looks like Natalie Portman (little)
Beautiful, Lovely!!!

[Lyman Zerga]

Such a good work! And So scary too!
:eek:

[animosapien]

cool job..i appreciate your eye for details.Great going.Nice shadows on her frock..but the story..............hmm...I guess the plot is a bit shallow.

[nead]

great job, just like all your works!

[acyaws]

You have got to be one of my all time favorite artists! Again, another mesmerizing piece!

[Boone]

Something is bugging me - the hand that is holding the fan. It might just be me, but the hand seems to be slightly elongated. Still, no matter for its a incredible effort. You should be proud of this work.:thumbsup:

[JamesWoods]

I love how you’re work has that photorealism to it however you can still feel it’s a painting . All the details such as the dove, the shadows and even the wallpaper gives the picture such depth. Keep providing us with images like these forever!:applause: :thumbsup:

[Pamyla]

Oh my goodness! This is deeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

[lostsoulx]

u know.., my Girlfriend realy like your img :twisted:

[flightie]

Wow, you've captured the mood perfectly.

[odrsun]

so beautiful!good job , WOW

[White Rabbit]

ey, just a quick question - is the woman by any chance inspired by an actress? She remids me of someone... Nathalie Portman in fact.

Beautiful, beautiful pic...

[lesz]

it's great! congratulations！
