Artist's Comments

phew.. ok first of all this is my first real try in digital painting.. i liked how the nereid(sea nymph) tuned out although it looks like shes made out of ice instead of water...*sigh* im not really satisfied with the backgrounds but anyhoo i know i still got a long way to go to get things right so feel free to post some critiques and advice.

I'm going to cut over here to leave the rest of my message:
She is awesome, I love everything about her, the pose is great! The clouds are amazing, and I love the strokes, but it might be nice to see some of those strokes blurred together a bit more; not the whole thing because then it would just look too smooth, which is how mine usually turn out =( , but just the transitions between the different colors, especially in the skin and darkest party of the water. That's where layers come in handy (i'm not sure if you use them or not), they can let you smooth out portions without affecting anything else. gosh, she's beautiful. I suck at painter. =)

Yeah I've been trying painter out again, it's getting a little better, but still not completely to my satisfaction. =(

Actually, to add some thoughts (a more proper critique if you will), I love the way you've done the clouds, very light and smooth and the colors you chose gave the sky just the right texture. I agree with people above the movement in this is great, especially simulating the waves, and the only thing I think would make this a better artwork is, as tartleigh suggested, to blend the colors together a bit more on her skin area, and to make larger blends together in the waves.
Otherwise, beautiful :)
