I closed my account at DeviantArt because there was too much pornography on that site.

I moved to CGSociety, you can see the painting here instead

Hi Igor, I am a painter recently converted to digital painting.

I took the liberty to made a painting from this photo, (need to practice my virtual brushes)

My painting is not a photography converted into a painting by some preset effect.

It was done like traditional painting, a very long process. lol

Instead of using real brushes, canvas and colors, it is all a virtual kit, pen, tablet, brushes, colors and canvas. But it requires some practice to mastered those tools.

If you are not pleased with the liberty I took, because I expose my painting in my port-folio on Deviant Art, (it is very usefull because other painters can give me appreciation and tips).

Of course I put a link to the original photography with your name.

So just leave me a message here and I will delete it from my port-folio.

Thanks

Claude

Hi Jon,

I am a painter recently converted to digital painting.

I found your photo very cool and began a painting.

I posted my work in progression on DevianArt

I know I don't have your permission, but there is no email to contact you.

If you want me to remove it, no problem I will do it.

This photo was not taking by me, a friend Isabelle (Zabel) took it.

The picture was landscape, the model was standing on his arm on the floor.

I flip it and work a little concept, part computer part watercolour.

Finally I prefer the way you do it, very soft light. I put the 2 photos and look at it again and again. She is standing in that soft light in silence and I think the main theme of this photo is that silence. So this soft light is necessary.

What a beauty.

...

I think it is too dark. I try a different light on this photo just to satisfy my curiosity and it gives an interesting atmosphere and a tridimensional effect. I won't post it without your permission but I can send it to you by e-mail or post it here if you want to see.

I know this isn't cool retouching the work of an artist, so forgive me. But this model is incredibly beautiful to keep in the dark.
