Artist's Comments
Hi artists
 Happy New Year!This is my new painting, "Morgan le Fay", based on the Arthurian Legend. Morgan le Fay was an enchantress who practised lots of sciences and knew how to make poison (the little bottle she's holding contains poison. The moths are meant to represent the souls of her victims, attracted by poison - you can see some sparkling dust around them, coming from the bottle) It was meant to be just a lighting exercise at first (I was playing with my wacom and a mirror) but I liked the colours so I've decided to turn it into a painting. Photoshop CS and my wacom 35 hours approx no real refs used (I've just taken a look at some nightshots of streets, you can see them in the WIP thread located here : [link] ). I've used a mirror as mentionned above. The hand was the hardest part to make, it's still not perfect (there are some flaws in the painting but I was tired to work on it so I've called it done) but I've really tried. The tones are brown and green on purpose, the lightsources are candles (and a little bit of magical light, she's a sorceress  ) so there's no real diversity in the colours and the contrast is not very high.Btw, the internet optimised jpg compression is very very crappy, I've lost all the details in this version  the contrast of the lights was better, the hair was more detailed, the skin had some texture but I can see nothing of that in this version....Crits are very welcome. I have to apologise in advance because I think that I won't be able to reply to your comments... I've been very very busy lately and I'm still very busy. I cannot be very active in all the artistic communities where I'm subscribed and since I was first subscribed to GFXartist I keep being active there but I don't have time to come here as I would love to Thank you very very very much for all the kind comments/messages you've sent me You can contact me by e-mail if you need a quick reply (I'll try to reply as quick as possible)Lighter version for dark monitors : [link] Details : [link]  THIS IMAGE IS ©DIANE ÖZDAMAR.

-- quote from orac, blakes 7: a statement of fact cannot be insolence   this is beyond stunning, I am flabbaghasted o.o the detail is crazy O.o and everything is just so beautiful ^_^ she looks like she could use a hug though.
-- [link]  awsome
 Good to see you posting art again
 I really like her dress and the flask, the details are just amazing. The colours, too, of course - very mysterious and kind-of poisonous-looking  Skulls on moth's wings are just awesome!I should visit GFX more often  It's a great site. Wow, nice work. I love the amount of work and thought you put in your work.
-- Like we always do at this time I go for mine, I got to shine Now throw your hands up in the sky The Good Life...  It is very delicate and marvellous in composition and colours, shading.. everything is perfect. I admire namely the lace and the face.
 plus the hair.. and the rest is just as good.  Amazing piece!-- Are you a GOOD person? - the ultimate test: [link]  Christ died for me so I can be saved. This is great. She is really pretty. And details are wonderful. The clothes, shading, hairs. You said it 35 hours and i can see the all effort you put when i look at this. I think i'm going to fav it.
