This is my second airbrushed picture...and I made it mostly in black-and white so its just a bit easier. lol The Chinese words on the side literally mean 'snow maiden'. :) Hope you like it!
Any comments are appreciated!

Oh, this is totally awesome! KEWL!
The girl doesn't look like a chinese person but it's okay ^^ she's other way so beautiful. I'm just wondering, it could look better if you'd continue the shoulders more; they disappear too soon o_O
This is well-balanced; not too high contrast between the white skin and red lips.
What does the Chinese text say?
 
Nice piece of work here : )

Lovely gentle tones and colours used correctly : )
Are you chinese yourself? Just notice the stamp you've placed in the picture. I can't read that stamp properly apart from the last word, but it's different from "Snow Maiden".

Also the calligraphy is really perfect too.


Although the piece does look chinese, the style is slightly out though. Mainly some chinese styles are done with large/fine brush strokes of black/dark brown ink, then washes may be made from the ink on the paper, or from other colours like greens (Often seen in San Sui - Mountain and River Scenery pieces of art) and reds (The way you've used them : ).

Some pieces you would see washes in it, but also at the same time, you would still see the strokes of the brushes.

Details are also delicate but still slightly abstract.


Anyways, I like the piece though : ) Quite unique, first time seeing in this forum ^^

Excellent work! : )

Now I want to give it a go too on CG ; )

The art is beautiful... I love black and white and red when used in a picture

Well her eyes should be slightly more closed and (I don't know exactly how to say this in English but I hope you understand ^^;; ) the hind corner of the eye should be shightly more facing up, take a look form this her eyes looks like they're slightly closed and that makes the feeling that if you see just her eyes you think she is smiling....

Nice that my comments are appriciated ^^!

Maseki - Thankyou SO much! Thanks for the "peaceful" comment ^____^

Chaotic_Houndoom - I really appreciate your comment on this too! :D Thankyou!


Crystal Clair - How are ya doing? :D Gosh, thanks so much for your kind words...*__* lol! The girl is nobody...I didn't really use a real photo for this pic but I'm sure there's someone who looks similar! ^^;

Haunt of the Vile - hehe Personally, my eyes (I'm Chinese) are fairly round and don't look "slightly closed" like that lady's...but I do reckon I should've squinted my picture's eyes a bit more since she's smiling. ^_^

It doesnt look 100% chinese style as others have said, But myself, who loves the asian culture, I adore this picture!!!!!!!
*Thinks about kidnapping Carina and forcing her to do paintitng like that of Yuna, who looks slitghly japanese*
Cough...
The only comment I have is that the eyes don,t seem to be very.."alive" imo

Thats incredible how you did the subtle blending with the rosy cheeks, shading of the face and blue frame around the edge. But what's even more impressive is the reflections in the eyes and smoothness in the shading of the lips as well as the whispy strokes of the hair.

It has a very soft feeling to it.
