[hyure]

[Dianae]

Thank you :) The theme of the contest was to paint him though, so it's not a lovely girl ;)

[mossyoak]

Very lovely painting. The details are pretty awesome, and I like the butterflies. Good luck in the contest BTW.

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Christine! :)

[Lilianne]

I love the colors that you used, and I also admire your effort to paint without reference photos. I m actually stucked in that fase with reference images, it s addictive ;)

[waheednasir]

this is wonderful stuff Diane, the colors (greens), hair and detailing has been very well handled. i esp like the over all mood of the scene.

fine work.

all the best for the contest...:).

[Dianae]

Thank you very much for your feedback Waheed and Lilianne! Much appreciated :)

[diissar]

[lxr]

excelent work!:thumbsup:

[Dianae]

Thanks again Younes :)

Thank you very much Eric and Rock! Much appreciated!

[yiorgos]

Your work is just magnificant, and you're constantly improving your techniques. It's pretty amazing to watch I must admit. This is easily one of your strongest pieces. The composition, color scheme and details are all working. The concept itself is really strong, and you managed to blend the human and tree quite well. As for the foilage... Flawless. 4 stars, quite possibly your best piece to date. :applause:

[Dianae]

Thanks a lot ;)

[colt51]

But, I can comment here, as well. Absolutely amazing! I love everything about this piece. The details, the mood, the whole thing is definitely a "WOW" factor. I wish I could display this as an oil painting for my living room wall! :thumbsup: :applause:

(those spider webs look so real!)

Hi Diane! Wonderful mood you've captured. Love how you incorporated the (lovely:)) boy in relation to the tree. The whole painting is rich and full of interest. The little spider web and mushrooms are a great touch. Good luck in the contest but I know *luck* has nothing to with it! (5 stars and well deserved)

[Frictor]

Amazing work! Saw the WIP and love how it turned out:bounce:

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Colsen, Claudia, Linda and Jeff :)
I'm really glad you like it, it has been a lot of fun to paint ^^

[rubenmontecinos]

this is a very inspirated concept, nice image. I like the details.

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Ruben! I love your version of Michelangelo's sketches :D

[Ikaa]

...dont know what to say, it's wonderful! Beautiful work with details, especially all the waterdrops. And that furry little one is the cutest!! :love:

[Dianae]

Thank you so much Stina! :)

[CGadrian]

very good !

5 Stars !

[Jezebel]

Very pretty, Diane. I saw the WiP on DA and was looking forward to the finished piece. I love the use of purple on the underside of the butterfly wings.

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Adrian and Katherine!

@Katherine : I'm very honoured since I like your work very much! Thanks again! :)

[Eladamri]

that's hottness. I love it. I might suggest adjusting the colors a tiny bit, but awesome piece all around.

[daRoz]

wow amazing work! cheers

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Eladamri and Darek :)

Eladamri : the colors may look weird on some monitors, it looks fine on mine but the web optimized jpg killed the colorscheme... How does it look on your monitor? Too dark? Too light?

[frebell]

amazing work , the colors , details everything is many beautiful , one of the best paintings i see in this month on cgtalk, i like very much 5 stars from me , continue always like this on your works!!:)

[Dianae]

Thank you so much Felipe! :)

[RalphDamiani]

I'd give you a CG award. =)

[Hennaha]

I'm simply in love with the little critter (the white one) :D

I can totally see you are from southern Europe just by looking at your painting! You have amazingly saturated colour palette.

This is very nice!

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Henna and Rafael :D

[bao]

Insane!
Keep finding myself looking at it again and again

[MichaelZHsee]

[Ishtar]

Très beau travail !!! :thumbsup: j'adore tous les détails sur la nature, les feuilles, les gouttes d'eau, l'ambiance. Beaucoup de travail sur cette illustration, bravo :-)
Beautiful Work !!! Cheer !!!

[d3cap]

Dianae- I am so happy to see another painting from you! This one is especially magnificent. The sense of lighting is well worked. You have a great understanding of texture and color variation. You deserve five stars!

Keep up the awesome work.

Jason

[Dianae]

Thank you so much Bao, Michael, Anand, Carine and Jason! It means a lot to me :)

[lildragon]

I absolutely love your attention to detail in this piece, the colors and masterful painting of the droplets are impressive indeed.

{plugged}

take care,

[cat207]

very very beautiful !!! I like it so much
congratulation for the front page:thumbsup: 5*

[boomz]

Ok, I was impressed upon looking at this image. It is definitely deserving of top row. Next I looked at the close-ups (http://http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/5676/detailsvy4.jpg)...wow! You can get a true feel for the amount of detail and work put into this painting by looking at those. This is a beautiful piece with very rich color and texture. As always, I'm amazed by what is possible in 2d. Great work, keep it up.

[visionmaster2]

superbe work.

Ce qui me gêne, mis a part le coté kitch du sujet, c'est le manque de noir/ombre, surtout en bas à gauche. Le relief s'en trouve atténué et le 1er plan écrasé.

Je me permet cette petite critique, d'autant plus que je suis incapable d'en faire autant avec une palette :D

may Cambronne's words be with you for the contest :buttrock:

[jhasse]

just fantastic, your imagination is incredible

[cgtalkmember]

Is it just me or does the girl looks like Hermione Granger from Harry Potter?

[Dracanus]

you`re incredible.why i don`t know but it bewitched me. 5 star from me :eek: 5 star and a half even :buttrock:

[DerrickSong]

Congratulations Dianae, you make a wonderful job again, well done!

[Dianae]

Oh wow, thank you so much for the frontpage! Thank you! :)

Thanks a lot for your comments people!

About the lack of black, it could have been darker indeed, although I wanted to avoid using black as much as possible (even very dark areas are still colored, although it may seem black), I'll try to balance it better next time. The subject was the theme of the contest, I usually tend to paint nastier creatures ^^Thank you for your feedback :)

About the girl thing... erm... "she" is a boy, although he looks a bit feminine indeed, I tried to stick to the guidelines :)

Thanks again for all your comments and critiques, it means a lot to me!

[AndHolzmeister]

superb attention to detail! 5 stars for sure

[geniusdev_anshu]

really great work
detail is so nice!

[michael-olszak]

good work.

[Blaschke]

beautyful, as always.

[PavelPetrenko]

Amazing fantasy work! I like atmosphere and colors! :bounce:

[Dianae]

Thank you so much for your comments AndHolzmeister, geniusdev_anshu, michael-olszak, Blaschke and Simon3D! Much appreciated! :)

[Esyroth]

Hi Dianae, this is such a awesome work, i just couldn't stop staring at it...
there is a small thing i wanna say...the purple-ish butterfly at left bottom( the one standing on the tree) looks clearer than the tree it's standing on..so that it looks a bit nearer than the tree...may be it's just me...i feel it's not landing on the tree...Please kindly ignor me if you don't think so hahaha~Xp. Anyway it's already really really lovely!Love it!

[nekro]

amazing work dianae x) as always beter and beter <3

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Wu Xi and Nekro :D

About the butterfly : I must admit that I've rushed this part (and also the leaves on his shoulders and on the branches) due to the deadline... My mistake ^^ Thanks a lot!

[Varges]

Great work here as always Dianae. I really like you put a lot of effort even the smallest detail. Excellent textures as always too. I like that you painted each leave one by one. It's clear that you put a lot of dedication in your works. 5 stars :)

[EliAbramovitch]

your work is truly inspiring- 5stars

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Toni and Eli :)

[Djampa]

Wow, really good. Always following up your artwork here ;)
This piece came out so well, considering no references at all you did a great job there, seems you've been very inspired on this artwork.
Congratulations on the front page once more :)
And good luck on the contest !

Cheers,

[MrPositive]

Is it just me or does the girl looks like Hermione Granger from Harry Potter?



Nope not just you. It's the first thing I thought when I saw it on front page. *shrug* Still amazing work.

[J-K]

Lovely work Dianae and congratulations on the front page plug :)

John

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Djampa, MrPositive and J-K ! :)

About the Hermione Granger thing, I really am surprised since I barely know how she looks, I've had to do a google search to remember her face ^^

[huoniao]

Very nice,5stars from me

[bsnt]

Very beautiful !!
I love the atmosphere and the details :thumbsup:

[ZQK]

Beautiful ! I like your work !:thumbsup:

[Dianae]

[ojcruz]

[Dianae]

Thank you Omar! :)

[digitalinkmind]

wow! Cool character...the overall coloring are admirable and the skin effect is marvelous.
Beside that , i loved the story for this elemental creature...i almost can feel the clean air from those woods.:D
Ohhh...can´t wait for your next art work.:)
All the best.

-Rodrigo.

[Dtox]

Great piece!!!

Saw it on the front page.

I have to say though, he looks ALOT like the girl from Harry Potter!
Like he could be her brother.
I thought it WAS her from the way it looked on the front page.

Great work though...

[maxlover]

nothing to say.... out of words....super work man 12 stars

[Dianae]

Thank you very much digitalinkrod, Dtox and maxlover ! :)

About the likeness with the girl in Harry Potter, I am as surprised as you :D I've had to browse some google images to figure out how she looks like, I had not thought about her face at all when painting him (and I didn't even remember her face so it's pure coincidence), that's funny :D

[ATARAXIAN]

Brilliant Work!! Well done. Your work is amazing!

[Dianae]

Thank you very much! :)

[Yorkey]

Awesome! Well done this is just fantastic ;)

[sirielle]

Beautiful and magical, you really captured that forest mood and character's likeness :)
I keep my fingers crossed for you in the competition!

[CyborgJA]

I love it, especially the palette is super !

[Hennaha]

I'm always wondering why you never received an award for this. It so has all the qualities. Definitely one of your best so far :)

[phoenix]

very nice, love the treatment
