Description
This was painted from scratch as always in Photoshop, touch up and waterfall in Painter, and the background foliage was Bryce 5.
I lost the original PSD, so I wasn't quite able to finish it, but wanted to show it off anyway.

very cool. I think it looks like J lo too . the water is fantastic
very nice, good job, is a execlent picture :)
a lovely portrait of a beautiful woman..nice image and a fine job of rendering..her beauty is outstanding..
very pretty
Nice indeed and it really does look like J-Lo. Nice work!
Ohhh yes, this IS Jennifer Lopez, and soooo beautiful as in her real life!!! - Wonderful pose... very soft and romantic, and all in all: brilliant artwork :-)
Not to detract nor steal any thunder from the thousands of wonderful artists in these forums who work with 3D software to create gorgeous imagery - there's still so much more to be said for those like yourself who can open up a paint program and start with a blank electronic canvas and create such magnificent hand-painted art such as this. I would not know Jennifer Lopez if she walked up and slapped me in the face, but this image is no less an achievement of great skill and stunning beauty. That water and its reflection of this lady are so marvelously done, one would think you had photographed her in a private moment. Simply exquisite artistry Shadow.
This is amazing! I knew who it was the moment I saw the thumbnail without reading the title. Reminds me of a scene from one of her videos.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Such a beautiful and complimentary portrait of a beautiful lady. She should see it. I just love her hair. I am in awe of your ability , as was said above, to start from a blank canvas and create such an amazingly exceptional work of art.
very beautiful shad you are so good with the paintings hope you keep them up always
this is so cool, great skin tones.. I would add more randomness to her hair but it looks good either way.. Keep up the good work..
I'll just stand herre and stare awhile ok? WOW!!!!
Wow, beautiful image. You have good skill of photo retouch after the rendering. I know what you did for this image. This was great work. I have a very small suggestion. The pitch of wave is too fine. The wave should wrap the girl body as a concentric circle.
Thanks Hobby for the suggestion about the wave. The water gave me a duck fit in this picture. Just to clarify though, the foliage is the only rendered part. The rest of the image is completely painted from a blank canvas in a separate area and then composited together...
nice dude- I wish I had your talent to paint :)
Absolutely beatufiul! This is very exquisite...well done!
Very nicely done. This is absolutely beautiful. To hand paint this on a computer is unbelievable. Keep up the good work.
Excellent pic,Great work,She looks like someone I want to meet....lol....Great water effect,very nice colors
Very nice Shadow, i like!
OH WOW!!!!!! Dang, I am sooooo jealous! I can't paint by hand to save my soul. This is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!! You are so good at combining Bryce and PSP. They find such harmony under your guiding hand! You capture their faces so well too. There is NO difficulty in knowing EXACTLY who, or is that whom???, you've painted!! You can count me as one of your biggest fans!!!
Very well done! love it!
Excellent artwork, very nice effect painting, good hair.
Beautiful! I love the reflections and especially the flesh tone shading/hilights. And don't get me started on the hair strands. Fantastic!
amazing work... it's indeed fantastic as a paint, no matter how much it seems Jennifer or not.. I love the stance and the look in her eyes, that hand delicately and yet maliciously caressing her own arm... teh colours are just great.. it's more a cross between J.Lo and Beyonce Knowles to me... but mainly, it's a gorgeous vision :) Compliments :) Now if I wasn't meant to follow you carefully, being this in Mixed Medium, I would have lost it!!!! Luckely I didn't :) Keep up your and our dreams with yer art :)
once again shad... MOST AWESOME!! thats all i can say
amazing again. Looks loads like her! u really should think about teaching these skills to us mere mortals here at rendo'! How many comments do ya think you'll get on this one!? :D Question - do u work from a photo or did u think up the whole scene (including her face position)?
I use a photo to eyeball her general proportions and then using that as a reference, paint her based on lighting that would be in the scene (which I'm still practicing on though I think I get better with each one). The scene itself is usually created without a specific photo but usually as an inspiration from several related photos. This particular picture was inspired by one of her videos as ladynimue said. Hope this answers your question...
Very well done. My mom always said of my drawings: It doesn't matter if your style is the dame or different from others when you are detailing a likeness. If someone can recognize the model from your art, you have done a fine job.
Simply amazing!!! A beautiful painting of a beautiful woman. I tip my hat to you : )
Thanks vantagesam and Sherlock...
