Ice, Brinn, thank you so much for your feedback :)

Great illustration, colors work great here, with the butterflies, I like the expression of the girl very much...

The image really makes me feel autumn, a season full of melancholy and inspiration to create nice images like this :)

Oh yes, this time I'm just short for words! This is beautiful. I like the accented parts: eyes (eye-lashes more), lips and the butterfly. Rather unpredictable decision and I love it. Thank you for the the previous comment with support, I'm just finishing work on a manipulation too (now I've plenty of time and don't have to take pics of cafes and bars of my city :)))))

Have a summer-warm day, autumn's just a word :) !

Manuel : thank you, this actually a self-portrait, I slightly modified the eyelashes and the lips, to make them look more doll-like. I am glad you like it :)

Katja : you\'re most welcome :)thank you so much for the appreciations. I can\'t wait to see your new work !!! ;)

As for the butterflies, as you know, most of them die in autumn, so the image may be seen as deeply ambivalent. Joyful colours and the beautiful girl (oh I\'m so modest :D ) taking a picture of herself and on the other hand the butterflies (fragile beauty) and the darker spots - suggesting death and decay...

Yakup : thank you !! if I got it right, you somehow felt the subliminal message of this image. Yes, we worship the body. The body is both beauty and death. It is beautiful and will die.

This is why the image is wrapped up by cocoon lines (a crypt-like atmosphere), but nevertheless it has bright colours.

The image is YOURS, you can give it your own interpretation and overinterpretation :)

Very delicate and a bit haunting. Butterfly imagery works very well, love the raised eyebrow and the intense lip color. This one really keeps you thinking and looking.

What is the font on the title? I love Gothic/Renaissance type. Is this one of Dave Nalle's fonts?

Thank you Les :) The raised eyebrow is my "specialty" :), it's so nice you noticed this detail.

The font is called "Parchment", I'm sorry, I have no idea where it's from, I just had it there, in Photoshop. I guess you can find it on the internet. I liked it too.

PS : If you have tips on other gothic fonts, I am very interested.

Cristina, you are too young to think of death ;-)) Think of life...anyway, it is a nice rendition of your idea.The figure is well placed on the frame, nice texture and ellements, that are working well together. I also like the letters you have found that are compatible to the whole. Nice to meet you Cristina.

Thank you so much for your comment ! The pleasure is mine :)

Hi!

Dave Nalle's Scriptorium fonts include dozens of Gothic styles. I was able to find a (legal) free source for Parchment. Thank you.

Don't miss the William Morris stuff at Scriptorium!

Some of those fonts are amazing.

Creative work!

(Thanks for the comments on my photos; I would love to see your work mentioned in those comments too.)

:)

Regards...

Thank you, Pulok !

If you refer to my 3D-generated landscapes, I haven't posted them because I did them just for fun or to incorporate them in other creations. However, "Elegance of Evil" was generated in Terragen and touched-up in Photoshop.

I liked that particular work too.

Regards...

I see this one as a very sensual photo. Really: her eyes and expression, and the gesture are very intime and you could be lost in that eyes... as she is lost in the environment

;)

I can't say anything else, speechless, as people say here sometimes! Nice to meet you Hekate! If you once come to my place, will you please tell me what is the effect here. It's perfectly fit and I would like to be able to apply it on some of my pictures!

Cheers to that!
