Best chops made by SympliG0th

This was probably one of the most detailed works I've tried to put together.

There is a long list of stock that was used and several brushes as well.

Sorry for the long list but there just weren't enough source url's available.

I wanted to portray a sort of magic in different levels of experience along
with some imagery of the seasons. Summer and Spring are put together or
simplicity on the image.

The candle was the medium for each.

There has always been a day when I wish I could have some sway over nature,
especially with the current weather situations.

I hope you all enjoy!

i like it..but if i can be constructive..it almost looks too perfect. the girls don't mesh well with the background...if that makes any sense. and it's just my opinion. great thinking though!

author:

I think blending the girls was the hardest thing..it didn't matter what I did they just didn't get to the way I wanted them..so I got as close as my sanity would let me thank you for the critique !

krunchy11 [lvl 6] [vp 836] [ 26]:

Looks awesome, I do agree that it looks a little too perfect but. My only main criticism is are the images on deviant art copyrighted?

stofvinger [lvl 14] [vp 1000] [ 41]:

Good concept. I like the atmosphere of the image. Small note: the transition between the girl and the background is a little abrupt. Think you should blur it a little.
(62 days ago)

author:

The girl is suppose to stand seperate of the background. That much was intentional, I blended her in and she just seemed to fade away. But I wanted your focus to follow to her first, and I think I accomplished that.

Hope you enjoy!

Lil_Flac_3 [lvl 5] [vp 126] [ 7]:

I like the eyes & the thang coming from it and also the BG. My only suggestion would be the part right below her cheek. I think if you also made that part black it would look a little better. It just stands out to me
