I wanted to make another image with the same theme as my other work, 'Timeless Beauty.' I really like combining both sculpture and painting into one and this time I was able to add an interesting concept to it. I also like to combine tradtional themes with modern techniques. This is all Photoshop and people always find this interesting... all mouse. Well, I use my tablet for hair but that's all!

Nice painting! I like the materials and the lighting.
Why did you use mouse if you have tablet?

The girl's face and body are beautiful. The model actually reminds me of a serie of poses on www.female-anatomy-for-artist.com (http://www.female-anatomy-for-artist.com) Or maybe not.

Never mind. I like very much the expression on her face. That mix of silent concentration and vigour.

The colour composition makes very natural impression.

The idea's originality is great!

This is really good.


Careful though, it might become a poster for transexual unity. :eek:

I'm very used to my mouse. The tablet just isn't as effective for me.

Ace idea! The title is telling! The picture either! :P
I know your previous one, indeed. I like this one more. This has more spark of life. The 'Timeless Beauty' is a bit brutal for me.. :D
By the way, nice colors. I might use some cooler tones on the stone/floor, probably some greenish or turquoise. Although it might has to be moderate. The character is freakin awesome. I love her focused expression!
Keep showing us more such great pictures made with mouse! :D

This is an amazing painting. What captured me was the composition. Having a woman carving herself out of stone or rather she is sculpting herself. Amazing job. Late Nwagz.
