[Fish-KAart]

Much emotional! I much like! Thank you!:)

[CGriffin]

Gorgeous face and expression! Though his left arm looks a bit like there's no REAL arm beneath that fur. The hands....wonderful. But he needs a little framework under his sleeve! Tasty fur, too. *picks it outta teeth, to prove it!*

[MatthewMok]

Awesome! nice work.

Really nice work Krystal . Happy to see you here . Congratulations

[pap87]

This looks excellent. I actually thought he was supposed to be Frodo.
I can't get over how good the fur looks.

4 stars :thumbsup:

[flyingP]

nice, with the exception of the ear which loooks rather unfinished at the moment, and his/her left arm/hand, the anotomy looks a bit odd there and the sahding on it looks a bit strange, especially the thumb , all n' all a nice piece though , like the emotional quality

It makes me feel furious when people copy other artist's work and represent the ideas as they would be their own:

Linda Bergkvist is, indeed, an artist we all admire and want to be like. However, you haven't only used her as your source of inspiraion but have managed to copy almost everything; the basic athmostphere, the feminine way of approach in despricting a man, the autumny leaves and even the tittle (!).

The thing, I feel is the most disappointing, that you don't mention who you get your thoughs from, not with even a single word, even though your copying is very visible to all who are even little familiar with Linda's work.

I really can't understand why you are doing this? It is not a single bit creative, it is not even an Art.

I feel horrified how betrayed Linda would feel if she would see this.

Next time you post, maybe you come up with something more original, okay?

Be an adult.

Be an adult.

LOL, trying to set an example are we ?

First of all, thanks to all of you for the words of encouragement and for the very constructive comments about anatomy: I’ll try to improve that arm which seems to disturb some of you.
I much more consider each picture as a way of improving than that a “piece of art”. For that reason, I’m very grateful to people who criticized the picture.


Regarding the last post, I must confess I fell a bit annoyed, because I think it must be a misunderstanding or so.
Of course, I discovered the work of Linda Bergkvist a few months ago –also the time when I discovered digital painting, because I painted mostly in oil, before.
But far of my mind the idea of betraying her! I do appreciate her work and maybe -yes- I got somehow influenced when I first touched a digital pad. We all have many influences, and I have for sure a bit of Siudmak, Waterhouse (…) in my works. However, despite the appearances, I never ever though about coping her! I’m a bit old for that! :-)

Here are some link on my own website; those pictures are mostly in oil, a long time before knowing anything about the CGworld and Linda Bergvist :

you will notice that every theme of that picture are already in them, as autumn leaves, even a little elf sleeping – or dying - in the fallen leaves, the feminine way of approach in depicting a man, and so on. I’m really sorry if you believe I wanted to “copy everything”.

As for the title, I didn’t even know the one of Linda and I noticed the proximity when you pointed it to me. The original title of that picture is in French and very different but I was not sure to be able to translate it correctly, as my English is not very good…


Anyway, if Linda herself or some other people share your opinion about my picture, I promise I would delete it from my portfolio without delaying!

Just a word about Hennahess I don't get what she said , but if there's a connection with a face and leaves here is a painting of Levy Dhurmer that have been done in 1896 . "The gust of wind" I'm sure Linda don't make any mention of that because she don't know it .

[scala]

here is the pict

[CGriffin]

Hennahess, I think you were a bit harsh. Just because there are leaves in the picture and a pale-skinned man/boy, you find it not the least bit original? I wouldn't even go so far as to call it 'derivative'. Influence by? Sure. But that's hardly a crime. More likely it was influenced by a screencap, but the face is different enough to not look EXACTLY like Elijah Wood. I think it's charming and evocative. Not perfect, but darned enjoyable!

[Nickillus]

Haunting and senstive piecr Krystal.
Very strong in my bools.

[Tuor]

It's a beautiful and sensitive piece. You represented sadness and illness in his eyes ina so intense way :applause:

Congratulations, Krystal !

[marilenamexi]

Don't apologize for nothing my friend, certain persons judge unfairly certain persons, in the art do not exist virgin art and no it does not give birth "first" ideas all they were influenced from certain older. .Nothing I do not believe that they is unique, if I would make a walk in the museum of Louvre I would see thousands resemblances with the gallery here in and new artists, what it goes it says this that all we are copied? i I do not find nothing villain and believe neither Linda it would find something villain.
all we have with more creative things we deal from we write ugly reasons for our colleagues it continued the good work
:D

;)
