Your angels are breathtaking. I joined this site just to choose artwork for my writing. I may have to use one of these beauties. Keep up your excellent work.

    Thank you so much and please do! Most of my work can be used on fanstory. I am trying to get into the illustrating world so this site is prefect where it is linked up with fanstory. If you ever need a bespoke illustration done then do let me know, I love new challenges

This one is gorgeous where did this come from it's a whole other wonderful side of Corrina! Maybe I'm partial to angels but I love the amazing light and the great contrast as well as the pose with one Wing up and one down. Were you getting an angel for a tattoo? This is so beautifully dramatic, I love the way you did the sky as well it adds depth and interest. A simply stunning piece one of my favs!

    Oh dont ask lol I was supposed to be looking for a fairy for my little sisters tattoo and somehow stumbled across fallen angels. There was this photo that I absolutely fell in love with and was like that NEEDS to be on my wall lol. I stared at the canvas for a good hour or so, looking at you tube clips in between on how to use oil paints before I took a stab at it. Being a little afraid was an understatement, just didnt think it would work out. Plus I hadn't drawn people since college. I am so pleased I tried it, has made me want to experiment more with people. Talk about go off on a tangent lol Thanks for the review Michelle.

    It's fabulous and you did an awesome job what an accomplishment . It really does pay to go out of your comfort zone and explore all of your talents. Did you finall find a fairy for your sister's tattoo? :). Where is she putting the fairy? Michelle

    no she went off the idea in the end lol, think she wants to wait until after Christmas, she still doesn't know what she wants.

    How old is your sister? My daughter will be 17 in January and wants a tatoo - I say she is too young and that she should really wait and be absolutely sure of the design she wants. I'm looking forward to seeing more fallen angels and or fairies - I just love this new found avenue for you Corrina - you are becoming very well rounded in your artistic abilities! Michelle

    she is 25 and has a few already, the next one she wants is a big one on her side, brave girl. We will see if she goes ahead with it. You have to be 18 to have one here, is it different over your way? Thanks Michelle, I seemed to go off on a tangent for a bit, just wanted to push myself with the drawing skills. People are hard though!! No idea what I will do next, kinda just playing at the min :) still no idea where im going with it all

Comment from Mr Jones


i love the way you have transferred this onto canvas and shows how your special talents are continuing to develop. the structure and form are really nicely depicted and the lovely way the brush strokes have been applied on the wings. a brave painting indeed.

    Wow! Thank you for the fab rating! I was petrified with doing this, I even had to resort to you tube, I didnt have a clue where to begin. Tell you what though, loving oils! Bit of a pain with the drying time but what a lovely medium. I will def be playing with them some more. Thanks for the lovely review and support, it means so much to me

    Aww thank you, I loved the photo, it really grabbed me, and for a first attempt I was pleased with how it turned out. Struggled with her face a bit but its turned out alright, looks lovely hanging up. I might have to try and recreate one of Mark Spains paintings now. I have always wanted a print of his Carmen but it was sold out, might try and paint it myself, that would really push the old boundaries. Thank you so much :)

    its briliant , how big is it
reply by the author on 27-Nov-2011
    aww thanks :)...erm A2 I think big enough to be a nice focal point on a wall. I would do another to sell but not sure about the copyright on something like this

Comment from rimikey


Very dramatic pose! Great composition - especially with the larger wing on the right. I love the story one could invent to match the painting. Great job.
