Description

A mix of many Asian themes — Chinese in particular: the red dress (good fortune, marriage), the Phoenix (representing the wife in marriage), jade (representing health).
And no, I'm not getting married :p

Painted in Satori FilmFX64. That jade drum was a pain to do. Shown here is a cropped version. I cropped out a bit of the surroundings to keep focus at the girl and her drum. Otherwise she'd look tiny in the whole image. No refs used.

Great work on the jade drum, your effort was well worth it. She seems ridgid for someone whom is play or about to play this drum, some sense of motion could help to intergrate her with this scene. The objects and her are all generally positioned on the same plane.

Fantastic piece.

The red and green are so vibrant
love the pose.

Only thing is that the fire could be more present/ saturated

A top artwork + 10

Beautiful work though I agree with Wallace about the fire. It's also a little bit too static IMO. Nice colours and composition :)

Hi all, thanks for the comments. I appreciate them lots :)

@loneorbit: She has just struck her last strike (it's a typical final pose for this type of drummers :) )
And yes, it was a deliberate choice to flatten the view as much as possible (as seen through a telelens from a distance), so the depth information of the floor was rather "irritating" for me to do, hehe.

I really like the cinematic aspect of this and the composition ( I hardly use that word) Maybe a few more hints of colour in the sky but it looks wonderful to me overall.

Thanks for all the comments, people :)

@Andy--Jones: i usually do strive for a cinematic effect. the sky could use some subtle colour variation to make it less flat. thanks.

Nice work, particularly the jade. Perhaps the figure could reflect the green a little more, but I,m just being picky. Great image +7/7.

Wow I can't believe the amount of detail you put into this, it sucks that it kind of all dissapears once you resize it. :(
