Description

It was a lonely night. Just the brightest moonlight and the darkest thoughts...

Somewhat inspired by the song with the same title. All done in Photoshop in around 20 hours.

In places (top left), the texture of the stones doesn't fit with the perspective but other than that it's brilliant! the work on the dress is incredible! (thumbup)

I like the very natural/real pose of her. Even the smallest detail like a portion of her
fine hair getting caught on the rougher texture of brick she leans so comfortably on.
Max score from me!

I know of "Silent Lucidity" by QueensrĂżche and wonder whether it's related in any way...

That aside, this is truly amazing digital painting that has an almost photo-realistic look. The lighting is superb but I love the details, like in the dress.

Keep up the excellent work!

Did you use some reference for the clouds and the mood of this pic?

Great compisition, the fact that you have her dominating the right side, yet her shocked / scared attention is directed to the upper left pulls the eye around the whole picture.

The one nit I'd bring up is that I'd like to have something slightly more ominous happening on the left. Nothing dramatic, maybe just some deeper color, a vague shadow, something to hint at what might be going on in her mind.

This is truly exquisite, the textures you have here are perfect. My only problem with it is the top part of the wall which seems a little flat and cut off. You should put more definition on the brickwork profile to make it look more 3D. Everything else is perfect, congratulations. +8

Thanks for your feedback everyone:) I have worked more on the bricks (top portion of the image). It's nice that things like that get pointed out so they can be fixed.
Here is the link to the fixed lager version.

Wow. This is simply an amazing painting. He dress is so real, I can almost feel it.

The way the tower ends so abruptly on the left side bugs me though. Especially because of the brick that goes around the top of the arc. It looks like it was cut off.

I'm not quite sure what she is doing. Is she yawning or frightened? If she's yawning, it doesn't appear that her mouth is opened.

Because of how small (radius wise) the tower looks I would think that more detail would be seen on the inside of the tower. The candle should be casting light on something in there.

Enough with the critiques...I really love this piece. Again, her dress is simply amazing. The satiny look of the dress as well as the sheer armlets are excellent. The mood of this painting is nice and serene...sleepy almost:}

Congrats on an excellent painting. +7

This is my first critique because i am new and i know that i am not half as good on Ph 7 as any of the work i have seen, but i think the prespective proble that people are talking about is minor. This picture seems to be done in the vain of a Italian oil and those painting have prespective issue all the time because of the ties to the Gothic era. This is a lovely pictue and it is hard for me to image that you did this pic only on PH but hey it is lovely indeed. I am a traditional artist in the fact that i like to draw it out by hand with paper and pencil. I shall work hard on my cg skills to get to your level of detail and awe.

wow...Amazing work. One thing though that bothers me is the inside of the tower. I think it needs some indications that there is walls, a floor etc (just something to take the negative space out). But it does not take away from the work put into this piece. It's really well done. The dress is unbelievable. Also love the clouds. Amazing +7

i really like it. great detail, the way the hair sweeps across her forehead and everything. the vines on the wall, and of course the fabric of the gown and the detail you put into her pose and her hands and things like that. awesome job, looks very much like it could be put on a best-selling book cover =)

Again ... very cool and nice honestly. Your subject - the panic girl is realistic, but the environmental composition is sort of out of distortions.
I will like to help you to fix your content of this piece of art if you don't mind. Well, I don't really get the girl who sat down beside the empty, rocky window. Is she panic or terrified by the storm weather? Is she hiding from a creepy stalker so she hide on the window? If you choose she is terrified by the storm, then the clouds should gray and white and they have lightnings strike down to the ground. I just want you to be careful when you try to make more meaningless digital paintings.

I really loathe when people judge art werks when they have no art that can't be judged ... it makes me so mad (ragingani) ...

Anyway BEAUTIFUL WORK drazenka !!!!! :)

quite lovely work. The fabric is exquisite. To me, she seems worried about tomorrow - to make the viewere wonder what is happening in her life that is so tragically feared? Well done!

I honestly don't think i ahve a right to even say anything since this is so far beyond anything that i coudl dream of doing. it is simply amazing. the only thing that caught my ee as i was lookign at it though is that it seems like she is sitting on a football rather then a petite woman's calf. other then that i really can't say much. The work on the dress is astounding.
