Wow, I am impressed, this looks really good for colored pencils. she is a pretty nymph. in green. you should look up Doris the sea nymph and draw her. also. I have never seen her picture.

Congrats on the big win!!

This is very impressive work. The composition is so complex, but you have execute the difficult task well. The shadowing is very unique and it contributes the drama creation in this work. I still wish to see your work in more clarity, but the work alone deserves six. Thank you for sharing.

Very striking picture. Caught my attention immediately. Like the colours you have used and also the contrasts between light and dark. Like your composition and story telling. Very well executed. Thanks for sharing.

Great expression on the faces there is a real connection between the two of them, beautiful detail in the greenery, I like the shadow detail and overall look.

This IS interesting due to all the greens and the patina of "age" that it gives to it and the dreamy, almost "underworld" or "underwater" feeling that it has. This is nicely-composed and the expressions on the faces of the figures are clear and endearing (even thought Mr. Bacchus is an alleged lech ;) Nice touches of foliage all around and I really love the lighting on the nymph's face and chest. She is really the star of this show. No wonder the Bach is trying to get her ;)

I am so sorry that I do not have any higher ratings left this week because this work deserves it. I love the fact that you have gone for a classical theme. Something which seems less popular these days (in my opinion a real pity). I love the colours, the wonderful composition and your amazing use of light. Absolutely superb!

Color vibrant and beautiful scene. I like all the tonal range, and the facial expressions. Great illumination and frame. Good luck.
