===== From elvish_archer@mailcity.com: well well this month a lot of naked woman appear as a main view, I think we should do like this with the theme of woman's body .ha ha ha ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: Skin seems metallic somehow. ===== From pbourke@swin.edu.au: Don't like the subject matter but the water is OK even if it is a bit too much like glass. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Wow! The skin is superb! Very good water too, and nice composition. Great! ===== From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt: Matkovic is the best patch modeller I know! Have you ever tried to make films with your characters?? Instead of just images... That would be harder Pure Art... ===== From tony@j4tb.com: A well drawn human figure. The only thing that would touch the image off would be water droplets on the skin. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Very well done, but there is a touch of not quite real I have difficulty to pin down. Like a strange 'seam' along the right from neck down to elbow as far as I can see and most probably down to the hand. I like the tiny ripples, but the foam effect needs more work. ===== From mischa@binary-designs.org: Well... She's quite beautiful, but she looks rather sterile... Her skin and hair textures could also be improved. The same goes for the water. It doesn't look very realistic. ===== From husakm@vscht.cz: I like the color chosen for the eye ... ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: The human figure looks very well-shaped, but I think the shine on the skin is a bit overdone, and the collarbone seems too well-defined. The waves look good, but I think the actual ripples stand out a little too much. A few more sea-type objects (shells, patches of coral, a strand of seaweed draped gracefully over the woman's shoulders) might have helped develop the scene more without changing the effect the artist is going for. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Though you mention working on the skin texture in your text file it's not all that good, looks just like the standard plastic poser look. I think that the only problem with the sea is that you over did it, those small ripples on top of these big waves don't seem right. And she's a bit young to be a godess of love isn't she, she only looks about 14 or 15 years old? The opacity of the water is good and the ground, and the way the skin goes white below the water. In general this is a great image that would have been better if you hadn't got carried away on some of the minor details and had concentrated on some of the more general aspects of the image. The colour of the eyes seems too close to the colour of the sea, brown might have been better. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: If that's Aphrodite, the Greeks were awfully Casucasian, and needed to eat a little more. Maybe she should refrain from a water diet? The lighting is nice. Realistic people, I think, have to almost be given a reason for being in the scene. What is it she is looking at? She looks like she is meditating, except that that pose hurt after a minute on those rocks. The water/rocks comes across well. I didn't realize what I was looking at in the seabed until I read the text file. Nice effect! ===== From file: there is a strange ripple between the big waves and the small waves Notable for textures ===== From file: Again, my standard comment on modelling humans, it's hard. The results here aren't impressive, some of the water effects are nice. Notable for composition
