Looking aces! It’s got a “in the womb” look for me, and the way they embrace each other is really tender… lovely piece already! Looking forward the colouring!

ok guys 
… more specular details, shadows and first sepia color wash! … still a few things left … i gave into temptation and added the color ( was thinking of doing it toward the final )
hope it looks fine … this is what i had in mind right from the start … choosing the sepia color was not easy, as there were many many shades n tones out there … finally i found another cool photograph that had a very classy color tone … 
the rest is now
cheers my friends!

by far the best of any of the “alien and human love” pictures…
yay!!
are you going to add more textures? or leave it sort and smoky?

Thanks for sharing your specular process, Neville. So when you say you gave in and added sepia - does that mean you’re not planning on adding any more color than that? Interesting. Very classis looking. In that case, what elsae is left for you to do aside from signing it?

Wow Neville! The idea did come along in full detail view! I like so much the serenity and peaceful look in it! I think the colors or not colors its just personal taste, I assure you I will love this one as it is…I can almost hear the ocean from their eyes, not because the emptiness but because its full of pure life! Great art my friend!:arteest:

Hey Neville, really cool!! like a lot the mood and felling on your image, awesome. Maybe the shoulder part of her is a bit dark in realtion with the light and shadows on the alien arm and the biceps of him looks a bit flat, only a comment Really superb work! A great experience to see all of the evolution on this image! Cheers

close to finishing … next will be fix ups and a little something …
i couldn’t have done this part without two amazing photos … once this piece is complete … it’ll be reveal time as to which reference images i used in order to bring it to this level
many thanks for your suggestions and encouragement!
moving on folks …

Cyberone ~ thanks a million dude! yep … kinda, i’m trying not to make everything look so evident … in fact, more subtle … most of the wrinkles and lumps are pretty faint but still can be seen … more or less this is the final color tone i’m using
walrus ~ yo mike!! i’m happy you like the specular process hehe … yep, this is it for the coloring, i think this is my first challenge work with a single tone, on the contrary, there are two other artworks in the gallery that don’t have any color at all still have a bit to do … will be back soon thanks for dropping by dude!
GaeasHerald ~ bless u bro! :love:
AxelAlonso ~ i simply adore your imagination thanks a lot buddy!
MartinNielsen ~ thanks dude!
Ferx ~ hey buddy!! thanks for pointing it for me! i’ll surely get on it and make those corrections! always looking forward to your comment! all the best buddy!

GO GO GO GO! even more amazing!! A part from the incredible 2d skills (really amazing and superior) what Kill me (in a positive way obviously) is the style.Elegant (extremely) touching (maybe the most important aspect of the image) and in general beautifull. At the moment the image may be a closed work. Is already perfect for me…so i find myself unable to imagine what kind of “extra” touch you can put in. Marvellous.:bowdown:
