Isis - By Juggertha
Thats really cool, very nice manipulation what is the filter used to get the distorted image like you clearly see in the background at the portal or even the imps? plastic rap?
I drew those. The only thing I kept was the portal but I painted over a lot of it too.
Nice Jugs.
Nice Imps.
1 thing. The face doesnt seem to have much detail which makes it appear kinda flat.
Yeah ST, maybe a few more touch-ups to go.
Very nice job Juggy <O.O> teh imps <;.;> I am mesmerized! <T.T> <o_o> <stares>

Yeah me too! They're awesome....I need to level my fire troller.
ooo...I like this one a lot, and could possibly be my fav thus far of yours. while the face could probably use a lil more work, as mentioned, I dont think its bad as is really minor all considering.~
...the sword is truth...

That's really nice Jug. I like how you did the flames.
The imps are amazing!! Overall a very nice piece too. Was afraid to say something critical before, but a few others have mentioned. The face lacks definition to me, and then the lips really pop out which is pulling my eye away from the rest of the face.
Very nice. The imps and her body are great. My only crit is about the face. This will be very harsh sounding, but only cause it's what came to mind when I saw her face. It reminds me of a cross between Cher and Michael Jackson....It's good structurally, i'm just saying visually, she is not an attractive woman :P, well not from the neck up anyway. Great job overall, including the face.
Heck, maybe she wasnt suppose to be attractive. Not all drawn characters need to be beautiful people. Good Job, just ignore me :P.
Now now, no need to insult MJ.
As for her face, I think a few more changes will help her out.
wow Juggy I love the coloring in this one!!
and the whole feel of it reminds me of Disney's Alladdin art!!
Niiiice!

What you are seeing there is probably due more to the odd highlighting-angles and the agonizingly-ecstatic expression on her face. Makes for some unusual overtones.
I found that her jaw was protruding just a little too much. As well, her nose looked too pinty as did her checks. I fixed those and added a little mroe detail near the eyes.
She's a good looking character so I want to do her justice.

Why in the hell does your images not show up in my dev watch???
Either way, I really like where this one is going. The lighting that your using is quite nice and her arms are GREAT! How ever, I would be with the others in stating that she has a weird Michael Jackson thing going on in the face.
I studied the piece for a while to try to pinpoint exactly what's doing it and I think it's actually several things. One, the highlight on her jaw from the floor lighting is one culprit. You need to make the highlight around her chin round to show that she does have a chin. As it stands now, it looks like she just has a strong flat jaw... no chin. Also, you might want to work with the shadows around the chin to help that out.
Second thing, the lips. They are a touch too big and perhaps too well defined... as in outlined. Maybe shrinking them down a touch and softening them up will help out.
The third culprit seems to be the nose... it's still way too small. I know when you think pretty girl, you don't think nice big snauze, but she still needs something to breath out of. The nose can be much larger without being bold... its all in it's shape... just keep it roundish.
I went ahead and dug this pic up for you which may help out a lot with the face. Granted, the lighting in it isn't exactly what you have, but what do you want from me?
Hope it helps... cause once her face is fixed, you'll have one bang-up piece here... hate to see it pulled down by a few problems with the face.
Ok, you guys have me convinced.. I'll take yet another run at her face
I do agree the lips (with the lipstick-color so outlined and saturated) are a wee-bit overstated with this one. Add to that, you don't see any upper-row of teeth, even the lower leading-edge of the upper-teeth aren't visible in the work... and the mouth is wide open.
In that other photographic example, the teeth on that subject are prominently seen, and I feel that some visibility of them on 'Isis' ...even a little bit... would add to the immersion of this piece here.
I DO feel the facial-expression for the event is properly defined. In fact it treads on the ground of expelling a real force and energy from her being, which adds a little-used feature of eroticism to the overall experience. People don't *really* think the gods do all that power generation simply to be nobley and stuff do they?
Well done.
I decided to take a break from housecleaning and search my favorite artists to see if they had posted anything new. How wonderful to find my piece!
I adore the imps. They are my babies (the source of all my debt badges, but my babies). Love how you incorporated the portal.
When you first sent me the sketch, the facial expression reminded me of Bernini's piece, "The Ecstasy of St. Teresa". That is very special to me as my final sculpture in college was based on it.
You've done so much hard work, I can't wait to see the final version!
My Characters
Do ya ever get the feeling that the portals have mroe power than they are letting on? I always pictured them bursting with energy just waiting for something to set them off...
That something would be the very hot Isis
