Long time no see u!
This is a cursed painting, the kind that at first, in a couple of hours, they promise a lot, and then , are getting worse with every extra hour u spended on it, so I had to give up and finish it.
I didn´t care so much at the moment,because im busy with a project that im very excited about it.

This was originally done for the ImagineFx Cover challenge,but i wasn´t able to finish it at time.I wanted a Valentine´s day mood,with a beautiful dolly girl,and the face is a reworked version of "Persephone",my previous work.

Credits:
reference for the pose from [link]
Hearts brushes from [link] and [link]


Done mainly in photoshop cs3,with little help of painter 11.
Comments and critics are very welcome.
I Hope u like it,See you :)

UPDATE:Now avaible a full tutorial of this piece on CGArena magazine here
Selected for Exposé 8!

Critique by ~EvilMist Jul 13, 2010, 3:09:58 AM
It really is a good piece, strong and impressive through the many details you cared to draw from the background all the way to those lovely hair curls.
I can say a whole lot in the "what i like" category but so little in the other one, there for i'll start with the cons.

Cons: - her medallion is a little bit to sharp, most of this piece is suggested and not many things are sharped and detailed but that medallion sticks out a little bit to much, you should probably blur it a bit or something.
- the signature should have been on the lower left side and not on the right because there you have a lot of red and space to put the signature ... and because of the effect you put on the signature on that red spot the writing would have a more uniform color but in it's current position it changes color way to abrupt
-title and vision are a bit irrelevant, it does speak of love and the desire of said feeling + plus valentines day ... but on that line it's not very original and it doesn't show you that feeling through an original way.

Pros:
- good technique
- good choice of colors
- good proportions
- good lighting
(ok you got the point ... i'll stop here)

Bottom line : it's a very wonderful piece, very few mistakes, actually almost none ... the ones i said were just personal preferences of mine.

Second bottom line : good job and keep up the damn good work :)

This is awesome! I'd like to ask "Permission Of Use" for the International Valentine's Day issue. All proper credit would be given, of course. So my 2 questions are; May I use this, and 2) What country are you in? ~Drew Henry, Founder [link] . P.S.: Could you possibly email me a version without the watermark? If-so, my email is: TheBostonSpectrum@Gmail.com . Cheers!!

Thanks, time itīs very relative, a simple one can be 10 hours,but more frecuently 30,40,or even +100,there are nights very productives and some others that i repaint several times an element even after the previous one was already very detailed.Luckily im starting to work more efficiently and less chaotic from the start,that itīs as important as painting skills.I have been drawing all my life but i didnīt start painting seriously until i bought my first tablet 4 years ago or so.
