After having browsed through the most of your gallery, I think this might actually take the cake as the king of your galery. And there is a reason behind it.

Everything about this piece is just outstanding and I can barely think of any flaws, whether sticking out, or just taking something away from the overall. First off, the idea is amazing. I don't know how had you originally intended your "horny girl" to look like (I know even for the best of arts the creators are often not completely satisfied with the result), but I think it couldn't have been applied any better beyond this point. The light is astonishing, the contrast of the foreground and the backside, with a strong emphasis on the color yellow, are a great fulfillment for the woman figure.

Although I am not super satisfied with the hair, I think you did a great job there anyway. All those crazy twirls and curls, so beautifully implemented in between the triangles were a great mean of binding the two motives into one; the woman and the geometry surrounding her.

Oh, and I haven't even talked about the face yet, have I? Just every single inch of the heroine's frown is almost shining with grace. I am, actually, not quite sure if all the ridges and rims on the face are done well, but it enhances the mystery and drama of the drawing even further. It's impressive. I'm also really happy with how you did the tattoo over the girl's eye; I remember I had always struggled with sketching "a picture in the picture" theme, such as body paints, but you executed this with an incredible skill.

The background is a masterpiece. The gentle, eerie blending of the empty bright space with the closer shapes, just by her shoulder, make the viewer think whether the background is a tapestry, or maybe an open space with objects just floating all around the heroine. These questions are all making me think of your work more and more and it isn't easy for something to get me into being as deliberate as this.

I could likely prolong this critique for more and more, but I think it will be enough if I say this is one of the best works I've seen in awhile and it sure will impact on my personal artistic feeling on my own pieces.


Just a tiny little additional thing:
If I were to pick a theme music for this character or the drawing, I think this would suit it perfectly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae_B5_…
