Hello everybody, here's my latest submission. It all came up with my desire to wall something with a huge swan. And Swan lake themed wall was perfect for that. The worst part didn't surprisingly include the walling but it was the scan. I just couldn't find a proper scan for such a wall, because I needed a kneeling girl with closed eyes, bending backward and she had to suit the theme. Then - finally - I got it.
Majority of the wall is painted, I added just some slight vectors. I spent most of the time with the background, since I couldn't make my mind what to do and tried various elements till I ended with this one. Oh, and the reeds are supposed to be transparent, so that's not a mistake.
Used scan:ClickTime: about four days Listening: Massive Attack and Tchaikovsky's Swan lake, of course:)
Hope you like it and enjoy,
S.

Hey, I love this! But uh, are those legs at the bottom? I didn't notice them at first glance... and maybe if it was a leg, it's kinda skinny compared to the whole body.
I love the blue hue and that feeling of melancholy. And I love how you did the swan, it's epic. :)

ZOMGWTFHBBBQROFLMFAO. This is ABSOLUTELY LOVELY and GORGEOUS!!! <3
I thought I was just seeing things when I looked at the scan. The transformation that you did with it really GREAT! All of the elements and the composition of it seems to compliment each other. This is lovely because it kinda reminds me of play/ballet "Swan Lake" which is breathtaking. In addition to what I've said, it looks as if she's doing a ballet herself. Cool color is FTW. Giant swan is AWESOME.
A wall worth looking at. <3

I love this wall, but Swan Lake is not the theme that came to mind when I saw. There is a sensuality to it that made me think of the Greek myth, Leda and the Swan.

A beautiful interpretation of the classical ballet! Those soft blue colors, the pose of the swan and the girl indicating a certain fragility.... absolutely stunning!

Yep, from the looks of how popular this wall is, I think it should be highlighted. What an exceptional piece of work.

Much appreciation for your conceptual skills. I'm always fascinated by how creative one gets in their interpretation of art so this paper clearly intrigues me. while I gaze at the protagonist, it becomes clear that she's in a trance and a rather passionate one which enhances her graceful stature. I've noticed that you're extremely adept at creating a dance of light on the figures who populate your papers, and it's really refreshing to see it continually in many different forms and never get bored of it.
Your figures/images forms their own life-force which exudes exquisitely from their canvas. I like that you don't recreate exactly what you see with the image you decide to use (like that of the focal image in this paper and many others from your previous works). There's always some embellishment, truly fascinating stuff. There's a lot of depth, originality, passion, and ingenuity in this paper and I really enjoyed viewing it. Thanks so much sharing!
