Awesome

Andy--Jones: Thank you. I had this image in my mind for quite some time, and it wasn't until the second attempt at painted it that I got it the way I envisioned. It's a very personal piece I'm proud of.

Diegoth: Thanks again

razpna: Thank you.

monobots: Thanks. All my work is done with Photoshop. I tried Painter many, many times, I'm just not feeling that program in all honesty.

Madanapale: Thanks, appreciate it

periago: Thanks!

Wallace: Thank you!

taaeb: Appreciate it

Jacobine: Thank you.

Awesome. You nailed the sculptural look. Love the cool color, as well, as it fits the mood and idea of marble perfectly. I'd expect just a hint of reflected light on the underside of the jaw and neck to make sure it doesn't look caved in there, but otherwise a nearly perfect piece. Kudos.

Holy!! This is _GOOD_

I love the face on that sculpture. He's very handsome. The idea of this piece is not unique but the way you did it.. well it does make it unique. You belong to the elite gallery. I'm sure to vote if you get that far!

Great stuff! So much feeling in it, so much atmosphere! What is the story here?

Very good use of textures. You created the mood very well, too, a good cold artwork.

I love the textures here! Beautifully done!

This is really awesome. Love the textures. Wish there were some darker tones in the background to help with contrast; even if they're slightly darker.

great contrast between the blue and the few drops of red. love the mood ! +10

Saved it as my desktop, and that's saying something. Nicely done.

very nice !

chickenfingers: Thank you, glad you dig. Good point about the lightning, I definitely could have enhanced it a bit to bring out the anatomy more. Good eye.

ansu: Thanks. The statue is based off myself (this is a self portrait in a way), so I'm glad you find him handsome

Jane: Thank you. Regarding the story, I created this image to be open for interpretation (although it is a very personal piece), so I leave it up to the viewer to decide

Daywood: I'm glad you like the mood. It was very difficult to get right, and I tried many different variations to get it right. I think the desaturated blue color scheme worked out the best.

Jossie: Thank you.

JeffMD: Thanks, appreciate it

Kayness: Indeed I do Thank you.

cupcake: Thank you.

purplerose: Thanks. You have a point about the background, I definitely think I could have done more with it, so I agree with you there.

IraMelanox: Appreciate it

yerffej: Thank you, I'm honored
