savant, from the french "knowing"

Made using the following stock by ~NicklausseStock

also, background texture by `lockstock

Digital paint/photomanip of the above stock, in photoshop.

Such a gorgeous pose and and equally great model, this made for a stunning vibe in the piece. I wanted a very serene, but deep image achieved with the use of the dark blood reds.

My favourite colours, black and red ;)

Critiques


:iconliquisoft:
I feel this is a rather strong image which has a distinct feeling of walking a line between realism and fantasy...both in terms of being near photo-realistic as well as having a strange sense of being airbrushed. It's a curious combination but it works well in this scenario.
I also really like the detail in subtle elements like the eyes and the choker.
The shirt, though, feels a little bit too dark. It could be a color profile issue on my end, but from a head-on angle the shirt looks outright black with no detail. However, if I tilt my screen I can see that the shirt is intended to be a more dark-maroon tone. To that end, I can suggest the shirt maybe be bumped up a little bit in tone so the details are slightly more visible.

Lastly, the nose looks odd. I think my major issue with the nose is that it fades into the skin far more than I think is normal. The trunk of the nose is essentially gone and isn't casting a shadow. I get that the trunk is intended to be small, but the lack of a shadow from it is just odd.

Still, despite that small gripe I feel this is an excellent piece and I'm quite impressed by it.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
