Artist's Comments

**EDIT 4. September 09

Tried to improve some things I got critique for. I hope it's better now!

---

Finally I decided to submit it.
I can't say I am satisfied with it - but after months of work that's the nearest my abilites can come to what I see in my mind :-)
Maybe you like it anyway!

Interpretation is up to you, but of course I have one for myself ;-)

I love the look of this from the clouds to the hair with the stars. The touch of ivy seems out of place but adds a touch of color and it works. I also think this could work if rotated 90 degrees.

I'm a texture lover and it looks sweet. I love the black ropes coming from the darkness trying to hold the person back. The only thing I see is the hand of the dark figure seems not connected to the wall. Not sure if a small shadow will do the trick but my eye went straight there.

Otherwise gratz on a great piece :clap:

Wow! This is relly stunning! I love the amount of detail in the concrete, the way that you've fused the cogs and gears into it, and the hanging leaves that really add some colour to it. I only have a few issues with it though. The clouds seem quite hard edged compared to the rest of the piece, but this isn't really noticeable. The other concern I have is the picture on a whole. When in full view, many aspects of the picture seem very pixellated such as the stars and the hair. I don't know if it was the style you were aiming for, bt as someone looking at it for the first time, it looks quite low quality. Apart from those minor things, this is an incredible image, and, I have to say, I love it! Well done!

Of course I can tell you :-)
The girl is innocence itself, purity and all good in one person. the black person ... well, it's interpretation is more open. It could be a future cyborg, wanting to flee its hard and emotionless world, or just one of the people today, stuck in technic and machines, but whatever it is - it reaches for the light, finally, and fears the blade which will destroy him easily and in no time if he didn't escape ...

Die Idee finde ich klasse. Es lässt viel Raum für Interpretation.
Außerdem finde ich deine Interpretation sehr passend.
