Ein traumhaft schöner Hintergrund und Zuri paßt dort hervorragend rein!

Gefällt mir.

Regarding the picture, the character is excellently sexy in a wild way. The background, containing a deer grazing with no fear about him speaks to a gentle nature despite a powerful, masculine presence. The barely visible structure, perhaps a castle, in the background is interesting as it puts the time and place far different from the present. I like it.

As for the other issue you address in your text, I am guilty of not commenting on every picture posted. When I do comment, I try to give some meaningful feedback about what drew me to the picture because I generally don't like to comment on pictures that I don't think stand up a little over all the others posted. Since I'm commenting on things that stand out to me as very well done or in some other way notable, I generally leave pretty positive comments.

I encourage you to continue to enjoy your art and not rely to deeply on people providing feedback. I just started posting here recently but have had a presence on Deviant Art for years and meaningful comments (really any comments at all) are getting less frequent.

I hope you will have a very lovely weekend, Ute. I always watch for your posts even though I don't comment on every single one.

Love,

Teh Mollz

I thank you for your sympathy and your thoughts!

Oh come on Ute! Cheer up a little, there are still plenty of people left in this site that value your incredible artistic talents...myself being one of them! Just try to remember its not the quantity of the people that comment on your work, but the quality of people that comment that matters!

I myself value every comment left on my humble work and I try to stay loyal to all those that leave a comment on my gallery...its the least I can do for all these awesome artists! I do agree with you on one thing...this site has changed! I joined back in 2001 and have seen the changes throughout these 20 years. There was a time that it was not unusual for an artist to get anywhere from 500 to 1000 views for the renders they uploaded...now those days are history! People in general are more in a hurry and often have many things to do in this complicated ever changing fast paced world we live in! I understand that and accept it!

I am just one of the many fans you have, and you have many, many more! Lets enjoy the time we have here in this community that may be smaller than it once was, but nevertheless and enjoyable place to visit and share our work! Your render today looks excellent my friend! :-)

I thank you for your sympathy and your thoughts!

Un superbe personnage très bien mis en scene, excellent travail, Ute!

Je suis d'accord avec toi, l'ambiance de la galerie a changé, mais je rejoins JohnnyM dans son analyse de ces changements. Garde le moral, Ute!

Grand merci aussi à toi cher Jean!

Wonderful image my friend :)

A fine looking character and protector of the woods, I hope! Marvelous work, Ute! Big 5 stars from me!!!!!

Great work. I think I preferred the zoomed in version but it is a great character!

Great character and scene!!!

Haste mal wieder excellent hinbekommen,wundervolles image,gefällt mir sehr gut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the way you worked the hair on him. It really gives him an heroic look.

Great looking image. Love the golden sky!

This full version is cool. It tells a story the portrait does not. I love the fearless deer behind a man with a spear and a castle in the distance.

I guess people are busy these days... I try to leave more comments than I post images.

Sono d'accordo con la tua osservazione,ho notato anch'io che,ultimamente,gran parte degl'artisti,se vogliamo definirli tali, non sono presenti in questa comunità, tutto ciò mi rattrista.Comunque,noto con piacere che i pochi rimasti continuano a fare ottimi lavori, come quest'ultimo che hai creato te mia cara amica, un pò diverso dai tuoi soliti ma semplicemente fantastico 👏👍🙋‍♂️

È proprio così, chi non vuole ammetterlo è un compagno maiale!

This is a wonderful portrait.

Un sacré gaillard ! J'espère qu'il n'est pas occupé à chasser, là !

You created another masterpiece!

And yes Ute, I am guilty myself of missing most of the amazing Art created by brilliant Artists like yourself. I am struggling more and more to focus on my work also and life in general, some days getting overloaded by more or less serious issues and the last thing I want is to spend the days rushing, filled with every possible things to do and people (and so many pets!) to support... I reach the bed feeling exhausted and all I want is to have some quiet time to enjoy in peace all this Beauty. And most of the days the bed time is morning already and I find myself still working or cleaning, or cooking or rushing some more...

Art is what inspires me and makes me breath daily (and pets too), but darn pandemic made all our lives upside down: family mostly at home, family members losing jobs, family and friends more delicate to protect and so on and on... The body and minds of all of us are so tired and so everwhelmed I guess it is harder to just sit and enjoy things like visiting all those beautiful galleries.

Don't give up creating, it must be especially for yourself first, the joy to create because it makes you feel good... and then also to us all to enjoy and oooh we do indeed!

Loving you, always! Never stop creating and dreaming!

Hello dear Lory, thank you for your sincere sympathy and your warm friendship, which has united us for years, you are right in everything you write, I will take it to heart!

I have a tip for you Dear Ute ... Render for your own enjoyment and expression. Life is to short for us to worry about the Comments, the LIKES, or the FAVs. If they come, they come. If they don't, so be it. Let this place be your gallery for the world, present and future to discover Ute. . As we have seen with some of our dearly departed, through their gallery , they live on and remain in our hearts.

This work, like everything you post is full of beauty and feeling. The beauty and feeling that dwells deep inside your heart, dear Ute. It is a little bit of YOU that comes to visit each of us. And I for one love your "visits," find your art uplifting, and a wonderful distraction to take our minds of the messed-up state this world is in. It's a reflection of the real UteBigSmile.

Rendo has changed, indeed. And so has the world we live in. With this seemingly never-ending covid mess, the political 3-ring circus in this country, and just the general insanity of our modern world, it's too easy to become discouraged and give up. That is something we cannot do. We have to press on. It's who we are no matter what country we live in or language we speak. We all speak a common language here - it's called ART. With it we have the power to turn the tide. Never give up!

Hang in there, Ute. You are loved.

Excellent

OOPS missed this one! Having had notifications for a round 200 works over thwe weekend maybe i can be forgiven ;)

He looks very at home in his woodland setting great light (particularly on the water) and colour.
