excellent work
Wow. A little masterwork. I love it.
Very well done!!!!
Wonderful work. I have always said, you can tell a great digital artist who comes from a background of traditional art. I am of the opinion that this is superior to your digital art, as none of it has been generated by anything else but your own skill. The delicacy of the webs on the twig is wonderful. The out-of-focus effect, produced by the airbrush is spectacular. I saw this technique for the first time in an art book by the artist Tim White, and I have always wanted to try the medium for myself. Alas, there is only one life to pursue one's skills and I am not even accomplished in those I profess to be 'mine'. The shading on the bird and twig and reflectivity on the eye make the image 'pop' and gives it dimensionality.
