Description

Cassandra: I'm eventually going to write the story behind this scene because there's so much to it in my mind that leads to this climax. I know I'm leaving questionds like, 'why isn't she being pushed off?' but that adds to the mystery right?

The theme is - being surrounded by beauty but filled with misery on the inside that she must excape from.

In a way this relates to the Greek myth of Cassandra (whose name means 'bringer of doom') who had a tragic, untimely death brought on by her own madness. There's also a song about a girl named Cassandra who left on a ship after the death of her sister and father so obviously, the name fit well.

This is brilliant. Great use of reference. And I gotta say, the way you use color in your works is just brilliant. Any advice? :)

Minor critique: The horizontal line by the sea is too sharp, I think it would look much better simply by blurring a bit.

I fixed the sharpness of the horizon line and added a little more color.

Sweet work. Lovin' it. You take a reference and make it into something else entirely.

Beautiful! Serene! Sad! Nice bum!
Only way I could see to improve it would be to 'bend' the horizon ever so slightly, to be more realistic. The eye would flow into the picture better.

Beautiful painting. The shimmery look makes it seem like it's in a dream and you'll wake up soon or something. :) Atmosphere is just wow.

BEAUTIFUL RICH COLOURS. As the line is said - Surrounded by beauty though filled with misery. I love the setting. Colours of the water is fabulous where it changes from the aqua, blue, green, purple to the more fire colours.

Absolutely lovely!

stunning colors, the only crit would be the line of the horizon, maybe some bluryness in that area can give more deepness to the scene. Very well done 9/9

Your treatment of the white cloth is just gorgeous; incredibly well done on incorporating all those colors. Aside from adding a slight curvature to the horizon, as mentioned, I think just a touch more definition in the sky would be a relatively easy but great addition. Even though clouds aren't really solid, they do have a form, but here they become like blotches. Of course you wouldn't want to take away from your lovely figure, but perhaps in a few choice spots. :)

Very beautiful piece of work

Awesome colors and color mixing

The horizon could still use more blur, in fact i think it has to dissolve a bit with the sky

Small nitpick of this Elite painting:)
