Artist's Comments

She Dances with fluid grace,
Such beauty none have seen,
Whilst floating on her stage,
She is most happiest,
No matter what the stage may be,
She dances on,
Even when it seems pointless to others.


By Malandante (c)2009

I was playing around with this one a bit, I am not even sure how I got to this.

I dedicate this to =Obsidian-Siren =MistRaven and =BearerofLight These three magnificent people have helped me so much with learning how to manip. They have also encouraged given support and just kind words which has helped greatly. Also it has given me a reason to continue creating. Thank you so much :hug:

*edit: I added the water droplets.
*edit edit: I added the shadow, splashes in the water, moved text and changed colour, added more droplets.
*edit edit edit: swapped the shadow around and added more slashes for where water droplets have landed.

Critiques


:iconbenvista:
nice piece over all, the thing that strikes me first is the resolution. I would like to see more resolution. it seems a bit blurry. You picked a tough element to incorporate into this piece...words... in art are usually a very tricky addition, perhaps integrating the words a bit into the overall design, now they look like a last minute addition and just kinda plunked in. something simple, an outer glow a bevel, an emboss a drop shadow a gradient. Something easy, quick but integrates the text into the piece. Keep up the good work, be original and have fun.

Alli, the main points that leap at me hon are 1) She is in moonlit water but she has no shadow. 2) If she is dancing on the water or even just above it consider adding some droplets in the air or on her feet and a little water disturbance.
Great extraction hon. Clean. Love the way you have considered the lighting on her body in conjunction with the moon.
For critique purposes it would be helpful to remove the water mark. It makes it difficult to give a real accurate assessment. For me anyway.
All in all Alli terrific work hon :clap:
