女人是祸是福？

these are digital painting with Painter 8...
the first took about 5 hours and the second about 8 to finish... most of the time was spent on repainting until I get the shades right...

{hahahaha...deleted some text here... no offend lah!}

if you dont really care what others say why do you even post it here?

**southerncomfort** · January 2nd, 2005, 02:04 PM

Heh... I do care...
Just writing some nonsense to see who is on the other side...

love the texture work around the torso in the first pic. is that entirely digital or did you do some traditional stuff and scan it in/touch it up?

i'm not entirely a big fan of the colour comp in the first one. the red is coming forward at 2 spots (around abdomen and the 'shadow' at her feet) and i'm confused from the hue contrast where my eye should go. quick colour comps first will help a ton as far as organizing the information in a piece.

also, your highest value contrasts are at her hair vs the background, her eyes, and the string on her shoes, and at her pelvis. so my eye is bouncing around alot. I would say lower the contrast using a gradient from her feet to her dress. right now the legs/feet are pulling my eyes out of the pic too much, imho.

love the lighting on her face though...good definition of the facets of the face. and good job on the merging shapes in her hair.

keep it up.

Hi, I agree with ApolloNuevo. The color you are using is a little bit random. Although I really like the background in the first piece, the overall weight between character and background is not balanced. My eyes are always attracted to the background. I think if the character's body can reflect the color from the background, it will make the character deeper. That's just my opinion, what do you think?

嗨，我同意ApolloNuevo的看法。你所使用的颜色有一些无序。尽管我非常喜欢你背景的用色，图片整体的感觉在角色和背景间似乎缺乏平衡．在观赏时，我的眼球总会被吸引到北京去．我觉得如果你在角色身上反射出和背景类似的光可以让角色看起来更有深度．当然这只是我的看法，你怎么想呢？

Hey southerncomfort,
wow, i really dont know whats the topic saying? 女人是祸是福？

But, well, its a drawing, and i love to look at drawings.
I love ur style, really cool. The faces are great, its the only part in your drawing that i can say i acnt comment on!. Its jus great. You backgrounds are nice, each one gives me a differnt feeling.

The one drawing, the girl in the red background, which seems to have wings, or those fether like things beside here. Its really nice, again the face is good, but the shoulders and legs have some probs. The Leg is completely out of place, and shoulders start from upper area of the neck. Although her head is down, but still the shoulders are not right.

DO some studies on tights, hands and do some figures, some movements studies.
Anyways, i love your style. Great.
post more,

EDIT: I also looked at your website. its jsut awsome. Really, realy cool stuff man. I wish i had a studio like u

. haha, anyway, looks great.
How old are u dude or dudet?

ALi,

**Revenants** · February 9th, 2005, 08:57 AM

the topic means:
(translation taken with some liberties, sounds better this way)
are women angels or demons?
true translation: are women disasters or treasures\

这里加拿大人挺多的，好多中国移民。。。很好，很漂亮。

**southerncomfort** · February 12th, 2005, 11:52 PM

Thanks for all the comments, compliments and suggestions on improving my art. Really appreciate!!

**HEROIC** · February 13th, 2005, 07:35 AM

AWSOME.
Really, really

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

Just watch over for the shirt, from the neck down, its a little bit off. But the Face look SOLID.
Really good.

Keep it up.

**Lunatique** · February 14th, 2005, 04:28 AM

southerncomfort - I can't stand your attitude. This is an English speaking website, and YOU are the one that is a "老外" here. The Chinese are not the most important race in the world, and China is not the center of the universe. Get that ridiculous hubris out of your head and try to be just a normal member of the global village. You make the Chinese look very bad when you behave like this.

Herr herrr...
Painted and rendered in Painter 7, one painting tool that I have always enjoyed using, more than the later version. But I am not too sure about version 9, which is said to be the fastest painting tool. I am determined to try, but not until I have saved enough to get the software...

Chinese mythology has always intrigued me ever since my childhood. The cunning Fox Spirit always has her way in trickery. She simply steals from everyone, anyone, anytime, and anywhere! She steals for her selfish collection, just to satisfy her greed, which cannot be satiated.

This piece tool me almost 5 hours, but about 1 and a half hour was spent
meddling with the painting tool.

**HEROIC** · February 14th, 2005, 07:21 AM

Hey southerncomfort,

this is really great dude.

like always.
the size of the head is alittle big, and u've got to add a little more shadows so it will looks like more 3Dimensional. And i would suggest to add a tatto.
Hey, do u teach Painter? lolz

really, really nice.
Keep it up,

ALi,
