Hanagumori, Diane Özdamar (2D)

[Hennaha]

Beautiful job, Dianae! And your animated WIP is a piece of art on it's own. I love the rythm it has!

You have the tiniest bit cartoony style there, so painting faces without any reference works well with you. I admire your for your work and for not being shy to share your technique. Beautiful work with the crisp golden lines on her clothing.

Hugs and kisses,

Henna

[Dianae]

Thank you so much Henna! That's a big compliment coming from you *hugs*

[Daffydd]

Just gorgeous, Dianae! Wonderful work, the details and nuances are excellent. I truly enjoyed seeing it this morning! :)

she's gorgeous Diane! Even a bit intimidating with those cold eyes.. great work and style, congrats :thumbsup:

[scala]

Hei Dianae Wonderful Hanagumori I'm wondering it's close to Art Déco too . 5*

[Lemog]

Fascinating... an another great lesson... bravo Diane :thumbsup: 5x

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Daffydd, Kirsi, Eric and Laurent Antoine! :D Much appreciated!

By the way, I may fix the clothes later, I don't have time for now, but now that I'm a bit less tired, they don't look quite right to me.

Thanks again guys! :)

..what an intense gaze she has....magnetic !!! :love:

[eightgr]

an impressive detailed character!

[PMD]

Man, you really do have serious talent, Diane. This is just bursting with character. Excellent work - I love the hair, the materials - and the eyes are just stunning. The amount work is really evident when you look at the full-res - the detail is incredible. This is turning into a bit of a gush so I'll stop now ;)

[Dianae]

Thank you very very much Nello, Patrice and Phil ! :) I'm glad you like it!

[Caelicorn]

I love this, I saw it first on deviant where I have you spied on :-) However, I only just noticed this time around that her eyes are green and blue. When I looked at this earlier I was far too distracted by the structural beauty of her face to notice colours too much. It's a brilliant and striking image. I somehow wonder if it needs anything else? A slightly wider crop and insinuation of a background or a story in pose? This is me scraping the barrel for something constructive to say :-) lovely work.

[Estele]

Amazing work! Your face and hair are great! Colours are amazing too! :thumbsup: :)
5 stars!

[AkaRaven]

Awesome! 4*

[Artist-Lounge]

As always, awesome work especially the face .. :bounce:
I think a little more work with the dress would make it perfect .. still 5*

[mossyoak]

Great work Dianae, I think the textures in the skin are really good, and the gold embelishment on the fish motif is very nice too.

[jimjam]

Absolutely gorgeous. I live in Japan with my three half Japanese, half Caucasian kids and feel you've captured the look perfectly. Some of the clothing/jewelry details may be more Korean or Chinese than Japanese, but it doesn't matter. I give it 5 stars.

I love Japan and japanese culture. Geishas are a significant part of that culture. Really good painting from start till end with a nice workflow and critical corrections. I noticed a few modifications in the girl's head shape and those were the key. makes her look young and fragile. good job

[Dianae]

Thank you very very much people! Your advises are very important to me, I'll fix the dress and jewellery in order to improve this image :)


Caelicorn : I may do so, I will change it once I have written the tutorial though ;) Thank you!

Estele : thank you very much!

AkaRaven : thanks a lot!

Artist-Lounge : it is now on my things to fix very soon list ;) Thanks!

mossyoak : thank you !

jimjam : thank you very much, it is a great pleasure to read your comment knowing you have half Japanese half Caucasian kids! I will try to fix the clothing :)

Anarki3000 : thank you very much !

[an]

Ecellent portreit WOW ...huh 5 stars

[ceruleanvii]

Very striking image - I particularly like the unusual color scheme you're using, the contrast of the cool minty greens with that luscious red. Looking forward to checking out your tutorial!

[Yorkey]

This is really, really "wow"! I've been staring at the closeups for a few minutes now, this is really unbelievable! :) Great work.

Also where can I find your Youtube video's? :)

[Dianae]

Thank you very much RUDY87, ceruleanvii and Yorkey ! :)


The videos are still not ready (I have 10 hours of video to speed up and to cut, I am also going to add some music and explanation titles), I think that I'll make 10 videos for the steps of the tutorial... It is taking a bit longer than I thought, I also have a lot of school work to do and I'm working on big commissions, so I'm sorry for the delay.

Thanks a lot once again! :)

[Branko]

Wow, fantastic render, feels rich and saturated but yet chalky...

Darek : I'm looking forward to see it ;)

[Salvax]

I like the skin and hair; nice and perfect to my eyes. :thumbsup:

[RicoD]

Beautiful portrait Dianae! I like how you did your own variation and still kept it instantly recognisable, which in a way is also very Japanese! The color variation of her eyes also manage to captivate me ... must remember that ...

[fizzgig]

Beautiful work. Love her eyes!

[Dianae]

Thank you very much Ricardo and John! :)

[Slav]

[Shawshank]

Wow. That's incredible. Very inspiring. I love your colour scheme. And i think you've achieved your half-european, half-asian look.
