Eye for an Eye

Description

Another old one, and I am kicking myself for not posting it earlier. Assignment for 'Quid Pro Quo' in my VD2 class. I think the pic is self-explanatory.

i like that pic

fladam on March 30, 2008, 8:45:42 PM

A wonderful fusion of the macabre and the surreal. I do enjoy the way you have attached the colourless (upside down) face to the excellently styled central head, which has been expertly rendered with some time, care and (ofcourse) talent. Most importantly, the image works as a visual presentation, nicely composed and executed.

I don't have any criticisms, but if I nitpicked, then I maybe wouldn't of used red as the background colour, but that's just my personal taste.

Overall, a picture of strength and imagination. Excellent work.

Dreadstar6 on March 26, 2008, 7:39:49 PM

:) wow this picture is so intresting.. lov it

XxXRachaelXxX on March 26, 2008, 1:16:28 AM

Very interesting concept.
I love the cracked bleeding eye and how the colors of the hair blend together to make other colors.

Awesome job!

*FAVES*

Morpher on March 25, 2008, 7:48:14 AM

looks awesome, great job! nice choice of colors too.

ODIN7199 on March 24, 2008, 8:46:01 AM

SELF EXPLANATORY? REALLY? OK. GOOD ART WORK BUT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY TO THEE NAY ABOUT YOUR END STATEMENT.

Selphius on March 24, 2008, 7:43:40 PM

OH OKAY

ganymede on March 24, 2008, 2:03:43 PM

On first glance I thought it was Utena fan art because of its features such as the hair, and lip. I think Utena anime also uses surrealism style. The Color combinations are perfect I love it.

supergirlcomix on March 24, 2008, 10:43:11 AM

I really like your color choices. They really fit well together...and the pressure you apply while coloring is perfect!! The general composition and the contrast with the black and white, then color is just great! You truly have talent. ^_^ I like the concept.

horsesRgraceful on March 24, 2008, 9:33:09 AM

rlkitten on March 20, 2008, 12:02:58 PM

Oh! Creepy! -but in a good way =D I love the cracked-look where her eye is missing. It's awesome ^^

Amazing work. Its gives another story when you look it from another direction. It tells you a story but still it dosent explain its mysteries and secrets.

total Favorite

aranelthemithra on March 17, 2008, 12:24:12 AM

This has always been one of my favourite pictures. <3 <3 <3

russbjustice on March 16, 2008, 10:52:53 PM

And yes I did get the whole "eye for an eye" thing too.

russbjustice on March 16, 2008, 10:51:23 PM

I like the "trippy" effect of looking into yourself. If that is the object of this. The abstract composition is very effective to say the least.
