The blur factor is also so amazin' with this picture. Like a colored version of the old photos journalists used to take in warzones. And the way the fence is pushed out by her forehead, just wantin' to get away/be released.
You have done wonders with makin' her jump out and grab your attention, and your heart.
Thank you for grantin' all of us the opportunity the view such an amazin' piece of work, Jadeedge. P.S., they wouldn't let me go any higher with the "Impact" rating. :/
Vision:
The first thing that really grabbed my attention from this piece was your amazing use of blur. You worked this piece of art like a photograph and really took it home by using it to create a sharp focus point for the viewers and it works very well: my first impression on this piece drew my eyes right to hers and I really love that.
Originality:
While I've seen this kinda thing in movies and films before, it's actually kind of rare to see it in art, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well you pulled it off. I really like the angle and the lighting you choose for this work. the lighting may be a little bit over done in some areas, but that could be a small sense of realism in trying to get the skin to look like it's reflecting light.
Technique:
The thing that stood out to me most here was your work on the chain link fence. Not only does it have an outline to keep it fitting with the manga/anime style you used on the girl but the way it's drawn is very precise, realistic and over all just excellent.
I think the girl's left (our right) cheek could have a little less of a sharp angle to help soften her face for a more sad look but that hardly subtracts from the image here. Her eyebrow color not matching her hair color kind of bugs me too, but that's a personal pet peeve and I'll spare you the ranting. xD
Perhaps thinner lines for the lineart might have added a touch of elegance and balanced her with the fence a little more?
Impact:
You definitely, truly, rocked this section. The slight purple hues, the blurred pieces for a focal point, the close up details: this piece had a strong impact and really drove a message home. You did really well in making her whole face hold an emotion, rather then just her lips defining how she felt and I applaud you on that.
However, I notice the shadows cast on her from the chain link fence are a little sparse and far between. I'm having a hard time judging whether this was from the lighting you choose or if you were worried about ruining her expression with it. I think if the shadows had been more crisp and clear it would have added a little more contrast to the image and might have perhaps added even more impact, but that's just a personal opinion.
Over all I feel very honored that you've shared this piece with us. Thank you
