Son  01/23/04 @773

wow this is real good..love the perspective.

epvision  01/23/04 @774

wow. the depth of this is just impressive. I was watching this for a while and suddenly i noticed that if you lean slowly forward it feels like the girl is reaching out her hand against you! great job with the detailing, and lovely colorplay!

JapiHonoo  01/23/04 @776

you work with passion... i love the light behind hand... and give the idea about what people want in these days... find other worlds .... and maybe other dimension.... and specially the woman rappresent the sensibility to other exoteric things... fantastico!

Wrinkledlight  01/23/04 @779

Unique perspective and environment! This is wonderful!

vprivat  01/23/04 @784

OH SHIT!! DIE!! hehe jk.. congratulations

Haevion  01/23/04 @804

Antifan, you know, I like your art.. So much heart and passion in it. The sense of depth is simply astonishing. The silk around her hand... Perfectly done, stressing the whole composition very well. Simply don't know would to critique on here... +9 And Thanks for sharing this as Wallpaper.

Yina  01/23/04 @807

Sympho  01/23/04 @866

Wow ! Wonderful work !!! ++ Cyrille

Crow  01/23/04 @880

somehow I got the feeling that she's falling down and trying to grasp you for help. It's her facial expression.. I like the depth though.

NecroNet  01/23/04 @886

Wonderful, I thought she was falling too from the start. Think I figured out why. It comes from the cloth. The one covering her risen hand almost seems to rise like it would if she just started falling. Im not a pro at prespectives though so I might be wrong. Aside from that an excellent work, one wishes he had your skills =)

Herten  01/23/04 @901

Amazing work, absolutely great colors and textures. Congratulations !!!! I agree, the spirit looks a little bit like she was falling. Wonderful picture anyway And BTW, great model !

zombie  01/23/04 @921

awesome ! i like how you managed to combine those epic landscapes and finally a character

IraMelanox  01/23/04 @921

omfg this is stunning! the lighting, the detail, the landscape.. feels like falling, like letting go into infinity. excellent !

Xelaxam  01/23/04 @970

Really good man... We aren't not used to see you draw people but this ones is awsome. Really refreshing.

Stephan-Desy  01/24/04 @010

So well done!!! Really amazing lighting.

francis  01/24/04 @018

Wow man nice job on the subsurface scattering !I love the lighting on the skin. Great piece.

SeanyD  01/24/04 @057

*picks jaw up off the floor* Seriously, one of the most amazing works ive seen here Antifan. Are you God?? haha! +9

Axterxes  01/24/04 @067

Well....She would look like she is falling because her clothing is going outwards and upwards, towards the edges of the image....If she were rising, the clothing would PROBABLY look like it is set down and behind her form, and in a distance from her hand. I like her expression. This is modern indeed, the feel is otherworld, and yet, humane.

jfrancis  01/24/04 @119

It seems unusual to me to see figurative work from you; I'd like to see more! nice work!

Picky  01/24/04 @141

Awesome work! The image really gets me... You do some seriously good stuff

Petey  01/24/04 @169

although the perspective is executed very well, i feel the sense of scale is distracting. perhaps a distorted or even better, exagerrated perspective on the figure and the mountain in their respective real sizes would help convey the pose and emotion. but thats just my tidbit. apart from that, the pose IS really good, and despite the environment, manages not to be halo-ed by the landscape composition. and nice rendering. +5

Nambroth  01/24/04 @202

I adore the colorplay and lighting. Thank you for sharing this!

meteormandy  01/24/04 @202

oh god....All your paintings are so amazing, I just wondered if you have a human there should be fantasic, and now you finally got this one.......+8

juhaj  01/24/04 @377

amazing indeed! straigt to my desktop!

Ezekiel  01/24/04 @403

Excellent composition and perspective! You did very well on setting a mood with the colorplay too. I like the execution on emotion in this painting. One can't look at this piece and not feel something moving about it. It makes me feel as though I'm up in the heavens and she is reaching out to me. I want to reach out ad pull her up. Kudos!+9

SeWiBBe  01/24/04 @448

Very mystical and nice picture. I love this!

TJVerhagen  01/24/04 @593

Very nice. I love the mood. great work once again... good lighting.. the sunlight actually looks nice and warm. Kudos to you sir! heh, I think the human race should clean up its own planet first tho.. are those clouds, or is that smog?

ramy  01/24/04 @652

This is absolutely gorgeous, the position and lighting are perfectly done. +7

Enayla  01/24/04 @698

PhilipStraub  01/24/04 @901

nice work Gary

xray360  01/25/04 @003

.........This is your best work! The perspective is amazing. Color use is amazing. You truly show you’re a master of digital painting in this piece and color. I really can’t tell that she is standing though. Maybe making the feet visible to show she is on the ground. Also would I probably try making the peak a little crisper and more saturated to show it's not in the distance. At first I thought she was falling. Anyway keep up this exception work. It’s a great influence for any digital painter.

sirgerg  01/25/04 @048

Absolutely spiffin' image... it takes guts to branch out into people (oddly enough, most folks know what people look like so you can't fudge it!) You've done marvelously.

affinity  01/25/04 @092

Gary you have created a perfect metaphor. She looks like she's falling and reaching out for something that used to be there. Beautiful and sad, like she cares enough to keep reaching but is forever suspended, hoping..

IcyGarnet  01/25/04 @136

Just like the rest of your work, absolutly stunning. Great idea, and lots of emotion in her face. Colours are deep and beautiful. Great Work!

LastVigilante  01/25/04 @147

excellent foreshortening! I love the details, right down to the opaque fingernails on her. Its always nice to find an image that has a MEANING behind it, instead of just: "because it looks cool." This has both!

FadedAshes  01/25/04 @197

W0wie!!..thats a very unique picture there....i find it rather very interesting...i love pictures like that.... --Rayne

Mordachai  01/25/04 @964

Thanks for the picture! That's a wonderful work! I was with the other that think she was starting to fall until I look in his eyes.. Than I change my mind. it's like she just rise his hand to reach something (something thats she staring...). Now I can only think in wind...

Cortex  01/26/04 @596

IMO, the perspective on the civilisation doesn't really work. The girl is just fantastic though. My new desktop.

crystl  01/29/04 @573

Another masterpiece. I love how you used the bluish-purple for the cloth. It contrasts perfectly with her warm-colored skin. The perspective is nice, as is the atmosphere. You're awesome at foreshortening, and I think you should do another person-piece next. I'd be interested to see what you can come up with... is this some sort of city below her? because, with the roundedness of the area surrounding her, it comes across as if she is standing inside some sort of a tube, stretching upward. this kinda throws the lighting off a bit. I kinda wish the transition between the grassy area and the futuristic structure(s) were more linear, as opposed to the rounded shape that you have used. unless of course, she is inside a tube (like the one in star wars where luke was almost killed by vader ) haha. otherwise, good job!

Yea that is stunning gary!.Really appreciate the detail for the city scape.I always look forward to your next pieces,Which is quite rare.I must ask if you found painting using photoshop cs any different from using seven?contemplating an upgrade myself.Well your one of few artists i have seen that can garner at least 40 comments per image LOL,thats a stunning effort in itself. Please continue . Marley

uncleFan  02/02/04 @759

Its truely beautiful, the way she looks into your eyes is captivating, its like with your brush strokes you capture the essence of her being. You amaze me. I love the use of orange and blues, shes amazing to look at, especially seeing how big she is standing in the city.

mizukaze  02/03/04 @207

HE's done it again! You've got the most amazing eye for imagination to reality work! I want to live in "Nimbus" and find the precipice in this picture and touch the face of the stars. Awesome awesome brathtaking vision, my friend! - mizukaze

acidlullaby  04/09/04 @867

I'd love to give you 1000000000000 points right now (and steal your brain) but I can't so... +10, sorry, that's the most I can do to express how much this piece rocks.

LadyHydralisk  04/11/04 @318

What I like most about this one (besides the overall skill with color and detail) is how you managed to give the impression of heighth. At first the figure appeared to be sub-par to my eye, but then I realized that the hand, skin, and dress are flawless, it's only the hair that detracts from the rest of the work. It is very wiry and stiff looking, and looks rather matted where it curls up under her chin. Also the eyes look fake to me, as if they are painted on.

AndyOaks  04/15/04 @667
