The body and hair have a structure and texture that looks much better in pixel than the analog; the little details that give it a "3D" look is very cool. The bottom-right water will need quite a bit of work to conform with the set style. The top-left red fluff doesn't seem to belong in the picture at all.

Looks like someone broke into the medicine cabinet.  :crazy:

I love the fluid swooshy curves and the hue blending. There might be a way to keep the chaos, yet guide the viewer's eyes through the piece more. The face seems like the focal point, since it has the most detail, but maybe there's a way to reinforce that with color. What if her "hair" was red and the more abstract designs around the border were white?

I think it works pretty well! I'd avoid single pixel stuff, though, it just looks noisy (to me).

update:



DB: water has been mostly finished in this update. I agree about the red bouquets and will try to mix that area up a bit.
BB: sounds like too much work!
Helm: Thanks, trying to avoid noisy pixels as I come across them, others I've expanded into small clusters because I like the splatter effects.

automatic human rationalizations:
bottom left - lush ground cover flora
top left - dragonfly
middle - curvaceous zombie chick
bottom right - rippling pond water with a duck
middle right - levitating kidney organ
right? right?

What medium(s) used for original? Looks like water color + some very blendy color large nib pens + black ink pen/sharpie (can you upload an even higher res original?)

NICE

bottom left- pitcher plants and swampy stuff
top left- wasp
middle- curvaceous zombie chick
bottom right- soggy housefly in the drain

For the original I used water color, acrylics, markers, sharpies, crayons, colored pencils, highlighter, india ink, pen, and oil pastels.

Here is a link to a larger version.

And here is the final:

This is pretty amazing, and it shows that a lot of hours were put into it :y:

But I must admit I don't appreciate the differences in the cleaned-up version as much as I should :crazy:
