Description

My memories are poisoned with your face, sweet and deliberate. Features that have seared onto the backs of my eyelids, and infest every dream with their painful beauty. My whole being aches and every cell screams, just for the fleeting chance, just for that moment in which I feel your cold skin, your watery kiss and your suffocating embrace. You haunt me.

Another from my novellas. Painted in Photoshop CS2 with my Nisis Tablet over a weekend alone. A lot of reference used for the fountain and the doves. Moss is hard to draw. Boy referenced from a photograph I took of my partner. Heartache. Sleeplessness. And a reversed colouring technique.

Doves are simply wonderful!! The boy.. well, i think that you need a bit more work in anatomy, body seem a bit flat, maybe adding some shadows in the muscles zone...oh, and see like he itīs seat in the air. Itīs an idea, however, the final work itīs wonderful, love the composition!

Good atmosphere but the overall image seems to lack depth, I think it needs a stronger contrast.

atmosphere is stunning but i have to say about her right leg is a bit strange. i think its because obscurity of where she is sitting on. and the well seems 2d :) keep it up. 8/9

So beautiful! The mood is great, but I agree with Daykan in terms of anatomy.

Well..I'm not a fan of this "romantic followers of Enayla" - at least she's got a strong concept behind..If you using this style you must be very precise with anatomy and the details you painting to convince the viewer - that is my opinion.
At this case she's or falling/slipping down from the fountain either floating near, at the air - which has already ruined the atmosphere.
But other then this it lacks sharpness or some emphasize. The perspective is off - look at the leaves at the water and the fountain. The fountain is flat. Her anatomy is off - it's better to use reference for such a bold nudity
And I know - to leave a blurred background is easy solution, but some blurred trees could really help there
Overall I like the colors and I respect your effort but it didn't convinced me

Thank you to everyone who has commented and critiqued this piece.

Curlyhair; Hello, I'm not a 'romantic follower of Enayla' at all - infact I don't really like her work, but that's down to personal taste. So starting your critique with an atutomatic comparison jades my own work a little. I agree, if I wanted to copy Enayla, I could have copied her a bit better, but I didn't intend to.
My concept behind this piece is strong to me ;p there is a novel behind it - prehapes it would have helped if I'd written the whole thing down in the description, but I like my art to be interperated by my viewers more than I want them to know the idea behind it.
Maybe the female anatomy looks wrong because its not a girl? He's supposed to be a lithe, never-lifted-a-finger-in-his-life heir to a fortune, and his body pretty much looks exactly like how I had it in my head :p Now, one could argue that to convince the viewer I would have to add more muscle tone to show his gender! But, that would be lying to the true, pure image in my head. And if you'd read my description, you would have known that the image of the boy was, indeed, referenced from a photograph taken of my partner.
I agree, the fountain does look a bit flat. Something I tried, but failed to remedy. I had only reference for the fountain in the middle.
I think a lot of people have become confused with my use of blurring in some areas and leaving sharpness in others. My paintings are not designed to reflect real life, but a moment, a dream, a feeling, an emotion. Maybe I should rephrase on how I do my work; I'm more interested in what my work makes people -feel- not the technical critiques. My work is never parcticed, never planned, never even sketched, it happens in a moment. Maybe I'm thinking in the old fashioned way of art, but that's what I want to get out of showing people my work.

I respect your opinions, and I apologise if I've come off as rude in any way with my reply, but I felt like I had to defend my work and maybe have to explain a little more of what my art means to me and what I intend it to be.
