I love this one, Daphne. It just abounds with the beauty and life of the flora and fauna of the high jungle. Excellently rendered with fine details and an appealing ethereal vibe. One of your very best.

    Thank you so much for appreciating this one! I actually just posted a similar one, but with some figures in it, called Fire Starter, but have not promoted it.
Comment from David Ruhl


This is beautiful work Daphne. There is a high level of detail in every area - birds, leaves, butterflies, flowers, and even the tree trunks. I will be stepping away from FAR for a while, and I'm happy to give you one of my last remaining 6 stars. Keep up the excellent work!

Dave

    Thank you so much! Yes, this was the first graphic I posted on FAR and it came on hard times because the sight shut me out and it missed its contest and ended up nowhere. Thanks so much for your 6, especially on this one!
Comment from Charlie Newman


Your digital painting is an excellent portrayal of a tropical forest or jungle setting. The colors are vivid and yet, at the same time soft. The birds in flight are well detailed and colorful. TH flowers are brilliantly colored. Overall, very realistic.

    Settling into a new location for a couple of months. Trying to spend more time behind the lens and get lost in the outdoors. Who knows, I may even get some sleep one of these days. Hmm

I am actually a photographer and know little about other art, but I was really drawn to this. I have previously always skipped reviewing this kind of work. I love the happy pastel colors in nice balance and the life that the scene represents. It is so pleasant to look at, and I think you would be a great artist for a children's book. Great entry!

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and so sorry for being slow to respond. Yes, well other digital artists don't even know how I do mine it seems. This may be due to the fact that I am trying to do representational art that I would normally do by hand except that I had some injuries to my wrists and hands. I do most everything by hand without the fancy functions, just with a pencil tool and colors. The thing is that you can go back and correct mistakes digitally that you cannot correct so easily in normal art forms.... Thanks again for your thoughtful review!

A beautiful image with meticulously drawn birds in a great tropical scene. I like the composition and the great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Zilyram


Lovely artwork which is well balanced with the vines coming down from between the tree trunks. Colors are probably a little muted for jungle color but I love the birds and butterflies interacting with the vegetation.

Comment from JerseyJudi


Gorgeous colors and detail. There is so much to look at in this piece and everything is done so well. Different types of birds and plants make this a pleasure to stare at for awhile. Very nice!

Comment from mamamary


I am very sorry about you not making it into the contest. I feel you have done a very good job here. I like the pastels in the background and the lighter shade of green throughout most of the piece. It really helps the reds and blues to pop!
