Quote:
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as 'bad luck.'

Fantastic! This is undoubtably what Edgar Rice was dreaming of when he described his Martian Princess! Great picture!

Wonderful picture, Michael. I'm sure, Burroughs had something like this in his mind, when he wrote his John Carter books. Great work! Greetings Lemy

"Frazetta" is exactly what I first thought of when I saw this, so I'm not surprised by your comments! Great work!

Oh, man, you really have the Frazetta "feel" down. How you managed the backdrop was very smart - it really adds depth to the image and gives it a dreamy quality without blurring the whole image. I like the subtle canvas texture as well. Gorgeous lighting.

Fantastic scene and character!!

What can I say, other than simply stunning. An excellent work of art. I wish I could judge the contest and award the prizes to you. I entered it to, now I see it was a waste of time because your image beats mine hands down.

nice technique on the paper texture. it shows care and attention to detail that you used something unique and used it subtly. it doesnt' "feel" like Frazetta to me, personally. the pose isn't dynamic (even relaxed Frazetta poses are dynamic), nor is the light or colors, and there's only a woman with no man or creatures. so, just personally, i see something that is clearly inspired by Frazetta but still unique to the artist. and even though i'm pretty sure you didn't model or texture anything in it, it seems very deliberately used and particular to you. it's like you took commercial content and elements of Frazetta's style and did your own rendition. i love the subtle depth blur on the mid-ground elements. beautiful skin, as always, and i appreciate details like the nail polish that matches her clothing. i think if you had a pose that showed the right side of her torso, you would show her figure off much better, her hair seems less richly shaded than her skin, and imho, her face suffers from standard V4/A3 profile issues. but not only are those just opinions, i think they're very minor compared to the overall quality of the image.
Naoo
Very nice!!!

Wow! I seem to always start my comments with wow. giggle You know what I keep noticing is how realistic the body jewelry is, especially around her shins. They just pop out especially with the AO, and the texture on the metal is topnotch. The chain hanging down across the small of her back gives the same flattering affect. It's wonderful, Michael! I noticed the canvas matte on the picture. It would have been interesting to see it with the "paint on." So did you place in the contest? You better have; this is very Frazetta like!
