its fantastic! it looks like a photo-paint-over.

nikki  11/23/03 @164

The eyes are fabulous, my only critiques would be to smudge some of the shading on the skin, but thats just my personal opinion. Good work!

Soapy5  11/23/03 @173

GAH... i don't care what you say, this is a picture!!!! Ok, now that i'm over the initial shock, i have one critique to make: the bottom left of the painting (namely the mouth and nose) are a little too realistic for the good of the rest of the picture... i hope i made sense anyway, i give a +6

giza  11/23/03 @175

Really well done image

maumau  11/23/03 @214

can i give it a +11? I also dont know if i can put you on my favourite artists, but i did it, even knowing just onne of your works

Askhari  11/23/03 @379

Thanks all of you.. You´re all so very kind. My little Ella sends her regards. Will try to put up more images as soon as possible. This was big fun !

acidlullaby  11/23/03 @688

kariefury  11/23/03 @688

Xelaxam  11/23/03 @798

well done .... really great...

Picky  11/23/03 @825

I love the portrait. Good job on blending the colors and the eyes are unbelievable realistic. It's too bad the chin and the forehead are cut off from the view. Those are big parts of someones personality. Keep it up

ghetto  11/23/03 @835

Thanks, I cut the picture so hard mainly because when I started I was only going to do the eyes.

Juro  11/23/03 @860

Incredible work.

reilanchan  11/23/03 @901

Wow thats amazing! I gave you 5 point for that mata ne rei-lan

Walterz  11/23/03 @940

Technically, it's very well done. Artisticly I don't see anything special about it.

ghetto  11/23/03 @948

You´re right. This image was just a study of a childs face. Just to see how far I could push painter and my tablet.

velvetgoodnite  11/23/03 @995

great work though all the same.

Elfhands  11/24/03 @106

TJVerhagen  11/24/03 @200

I saw the paintng process.. man, this is marvellous indeed. Very nice. Cute kid also

jfrancis  11/24/03 @210

This is going to sound nit-picky, but ... When I look at painted (or CG) eyes, I always find myself looking to see if there is a little thin hilight caused by the meniscus of liquid that forms along the bottom lid. I think that capturing that particular detail -- when it's there -- adds a lot of realism to eyes. I feel like there's a hint of it in the baby's left eye (the one on screen right) in the process sketch, but that you losta lot of it in your final image. If it is in fact there, then it seems a little too subtle, and I'd play it up a little bit more, especially between the dark brown part of the eye (is that called the iris?) and the lower eyelid. Great job! +7 (as high as I have)

Great job, thanks for the Process for us beginners.

anais  11/25/03 @121

I was wondering why it was so high in the member gallery I tought it was just someones kid but think again. Its so realistic that i'm not shure if it is 100% digital painting but if it is I'll bow down before you. 5+ JUST AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CountessZanne  11/25/03 @330

Ghetto fabulous! I can tell you painted this with love. Next I want to see you capture your beautiful child in a pose that truely captures her personality. It should turn out wonderfully.

DANKA  11/25/03 @426

AMAZING!!! I can't believe that it's not a photo-paintover!!! Wonderfull!!!9+

Thank you everybody. I just can´t belive that I´m up at 2nd place with this image.. Thank you so very much for voting. It just feels a bit embarassing that I haven´t had time to complete more stuff yet. But right now I´m extremely busy with my musical career. (playing my last gig this sunday in Brussel.) After that I´ll be back here and will put up more images.

I just popped back to say thanks for sharing with us the1-4 pics of the process.in creating this.... I actually learnt quite a bit from studying them. : The skin tones are just ......beyond speech for me.

reilanchan  11/29/03 @150

*loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool* ghetto just a few ours ago I was thinking about if this picture would manage it to get place one before sunday... I thought it maybe will make it - it has a real chance - and now it DID! *lol* CONGRATS! You'll be a member of the elite now^^ - I just can say again - what a carreer!! mata ne rei-lan

Dark-warrior0  12/06/03 @016

Whoa.... The portrait of your baby daughter is sure so.... realistic in digital painting. I hope you can give us some tutorials how to do that style. Congratulation, on your piece.

ghetto  12/06/03 @111

I would really like to make some tutorials .. But right now I´ve no time over at all for such pleasure But maybe next week... hopefully. Thanks for all nice words and votes.
