I feel for you..I had a heart attack and lost my job....sucks dont it. Now as for this image. Beautiful work, tho I cant tell for sure if she`s sad or pissed off...maybe a little of both.

Nice Image! I like all the shadows (you know me). Good luck with the job hunt Shannon.

I feel for U as well, very sad, and I hope U get one soon. I love the works very much. I just love it, amazing works, love the hair, the eyes, and lightwork is just stunning.

Sucks to hear they did that to you. On the plus side, this just looks fantastic. The texture on that hair really makes it look like it's got feel and body to it. Spectacular! Good luck with the job search. :)

They're just a bunch of jerks anyway, Shannon, should be illegal. Great pic! And good luck finding a job with "nice" people! Hugs!

WOW. Stunning image sweetie. So sorry to hear about losing your job. Isnt there some protection under the Act for Disabled Amercicans ? I want to know more about This. I dont think it is legal to terminate someone who is ill or diabled for that reason. Did they say that you couldnt do your job because of absences ? Let me know . I would like to hear more about your lifelong illness and this termination. Love this image. Very appropriate to your situation in some ways. HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS

Oh that web we weave when we play that game to deceive :-) This is excellent Shannon, I love the mood created by this image and the lighting is excellent!!! She does not seemed bothered by those spiders!!! I can understand where you are coming from Shannon, being born with Cerebral Palsy, life has been very tough for me, especially finding a job. I don't think it's right to view a person based on an illness or disability!!! And I think it should be illegal to terminate someone based on their health. I hope everything works out for you Shannon. Hugsss Frankie ^_^

This is beautiful. Keep your head up girl. You will find another job. I'll keep ya in my prayers :o)

Creepy... O_o

Oh I am sooo sorry to hear this news...but actually they may be doing you a favor because who wants to work for someone who is that heartless?? They cannot be a good employer! You should look into doing artwork for a living..you can do it! Your image is lovely..a little creepy..but I love creepy! Excellent work!

This has got to be one of your best ones yet Shan!!! A definate FAV!!! As for your previous employer, sue the arse off him!!! In the UK it's illegal to fire anyone cos they're sick! Must be the same in the USA.

I hope things get better for you :-]) a wonderful picture, she looks angry

Beautiful portrait!. Very pretty wok!!!

Very cool picture with magic colours. Hammer. Your job: Last year I was kicked out of work two times. This has changed my live totally. But in a good way. I don't care too much for the future now, because I'm more relaxed. Things come and go and I don't plan too much. This does not mean, that I don't work anymore. I work now in a more effective way and with more fun. After a few months You may see the positive side of this horrible situation. Regards, anulos

you know what, your next job is going to be so much better. :) great image as always.

Fantastic image! I'm sorry about the job, but hopefully things will turn out for the better... Anyone who doesn't understand when some one is ill doesn't deserve haveing good people work for them! My best wishes and hopes that something better comes your way are with you!

Nice work hon ... and hang in there. Things WILL get better.

This is truly magnificent Sharon. The lighting is so effective and her pose is superb. This is one of the most impressive poser works it has ever been my privilege to view. First class! Steve :o)

Very good, definatly a work of art, im sure with your talent yoll find another job soon, I always wonder why artists when they do a picture with just the face why they dont post one of the same like a close up and then standard view, maybe it takes more work that way. lol. keep up the great work! Hugs!

Delicious, delectable, delightfull....Fantastic work....

Im sorry to read that youve lost your job. I hope youll find a new one soon! Dont allow them to bring you down! I know how difficult things are, when youve little or no money. Trust in yourself and your friends and keep up your head! The experiences I had with jobs, let me to the conclusion that ethics are something for private & personal behaviour. The only values for business and politics are profit and power. Dont expect anything else from them. I take their money, but I wont take their "values". I know that its easy to be a rebel when youre only responsible for yourself, like I am and that things are different when youve a family. Excellent image youve done here! sorry for my english :)

I am getting so angry by hearing such news.... In Europe you could get his as** for such behaviour, If that is the case for U.S then I would agree more with Star4mation. And they want to change the law here in order to make it more flexible for companies... sigh This image is definitely your best. With your permition i want to use it as a desktop image to see it every morning at work. Superb work...

A magnific close-up, Shannon.... I hope you'll find a new job as soon as possible. Anyway, i want to know, is it true that in U.S. there are no protection for ill people?

A realistic portrait, with nice skin texture. But that spider... eheh, i hate spiders and for me it could be impossible have one on my hand ^___^ Nice render!

As usual your postings are amazing and this is well so impressive I love it :) Cathy xoxoxo

Hey, this is a beautiful, powerful image with some fantastic hair and lighting (of course, the fact that I like spiders probably helps too :). And don't worry about your job - keep your head up and move on - you're far too good to work for someone who'd pull such a dirty move. Things happen for a reason, so just hang in there, keep searching, and you'll find something much much better. Take care and keep rendering - your work is gorgeous :)

Shannon, I'm sincerely sorry to hear that and I truly hope that you find an even better job - you deserve it!!! So my very best wishes for the future and in the meantime, let me tell you that this is one magnificent image! :))) What a face expression and hand pose... and the spider... the perfect addition!!! :))))

Stunning portrait and light!!!...not all scene just because I hate spiders!LOL But the girl is wonderful and the light amazing!!!

This is gorgeous. You did a great job on it!!

I had hoped that you had this in your gallery when I saw your avatar! The lighting is stupendous, and her expression is totally engaging. Excellant! 5*'s HuggerZ! Ariana
