Illustration for a Story

Comment from Mr Jones


very atmospheric and witch-like. Conjures up many imaginations and notions on what this creature could be like. existing in some natural, netherworld. or maybe just a misunderstood offspring, with now little hope of blending into society. reminds me of one of those kids that get looked after by wolves; still human but one that lives totally within nature.

    Thank you very much for you very encouraging review and your generous rating.
    You are pretty close with your guess. The story, so far I have written it jet, is open for all of it, mixed with a pinch of Kipling's Mowgli.

Very creative use of filters. This portrait has an abstract and ominous feel to it. Good color harmony. Great visual impact as well. Nice! Good luck in the contest. ~Alveria

Lovely photo with great distortion. I like the two tone hue effect on the child's face. I like me the use of the negative effects. The story telling SUPERB! Well done. Good Lock in the contest.

An interesting mixed media presentation! I think edit works very well to bring out witch "flavor" as the photographer wishes to share. Child face is still clear and enjoyable.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Such an interesting image! The blue hues fit the story line of the girl running through the cold night. The collage effect adds to the other worldliness of the girl and there is energy in her hair and a watchfulness in her eyes. The book must be good!

This is an intriguing piece. i loved the colors and how they compliment one another.. The look on the childs face tells a story, of fear, danger, unsureness, and strength....I loved this piece, its a story in itself...

I can see that a lot of work went into this photo. It looks kind of eerie to begin with but I can see this being part of a story. She is looking kind of weird being blue and all, but that's what the story is about. Good work.

An eye catching image to be sure. The colors are strangely attractive and the composition is excellent. I like the distant look in her eyes and the placid expression. Best of luck in the contest.

Fantastic work. The merge of the various levels has produces a fantastic character for a book. The negative layer works perfect. The eyes and wisps of hair sweeping across her face add to the witch like feeling. The hand painted background effects are great.
