Really like the lines and the colors. Was this done totally digitally, or did you use micron pen and watercolor? Very nice.
that is the truth! beautiful illo carla
As always, very nice,Carla
Yes, what was the technique used on this illo. It is excellent as always!
That is a beautiful piece; delicate yet expressive line work as always. Do you realize how many hits your are going to get by naming this piece free-nude?
Nice body composition...
and i like red touch
Beautiful piece!
I'm a sucker for interesting textures and you've done it again. Nice wrok, Carla! The way she's up on her tiptoes makes her look as if she's about to fly away ... free.
Very cool - you always create such amazing textures. Great work! (like always...)
Nice colors and textures, the figure is confident and not afraid of what the future holds.
Wonderful Carla. Living outside of the box is what I thought of right away. Great words. Cheers!
Very freeing Carla
Wonderful texture and line work.
You are not afraid to commit to a line and that is great.
Nice work with micron pen and great textures too.
Thanks for yours comments on mine. Dog it`s called "Canela" or "Cinnamon". I inspired in my stray dog puppy I found two year ago. Now she grew and she´s a real character.
Love the texture in this one! Also like the movie!
I could really see this as a part of tarot deck - maybe The Star or the world card
Wow, this image is really nice!
I liked the geometrical design and textures. Make the work very interesting.
I like the quote. And a very strong expression in the illustration too.
Now thats a fragile illustration, you've really got it for
details... i don't have the patience to draw like that
Lovely...
sexy lady! love that colors and different textures. The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favotite movies.
I like the almost cubist effect, and as always, your sense of color is right on. Looks like you've got a Tarot deck started, though I'm not sure who she would be--Princess of Disks?
Very nice but what's a micron pen?
Beautiful Carla!
Beautiful. I agree with Alison that this looks like another Tarot card. Though I think it could be a non-traditional version of the fool - who shows a great attitude to freedom - first from innocence and then at the end of the cycle from experience.
The quote is perfect. The illo is beautiful!
I just noticed how many of the shapes repeat in this... she seems so balanced. I like the red in the corner too.
She's beautiful, i LOVE the pose :) very uplifting
Complete and "finished" as always. How wonderful to be the embodiment of "free" when unclothed AND facing a steep uphill climb. I hope I can identify with this muse more thoroughly in time.
This is lovely, love your color and texture usage. :) The style is very unique too!! Truly love the form of the character ... good work!
In this one I like the female figure with the sketch quality.
And that kind of Sun at the top right corner.
:)
I like your work.
Lovely poetic illo...
Again - Carla you have managed to captivate me into your illustration! The texture is so rich... Thought provoking!
Believe it or not, i've never seen Shawshank Redemption--that's a great sentiment though.
Great work!
I'm really enjoying the progression of your illustrations lately...this one in particular. I love the way you've used the patterns and colors. A very interesting hairstyle to match a fabulous body stocking - or, is she missing one of her thigh highs? :D
an inspirational drawing, it goes perfectly with the nice tagline!
I finally posted!!
Re: My son (24) also "got" Easy Rider as did I. My daughter (27) "got" The Godfather... which we think is funny because their dad is 2nd generation Sicilian/Italian from Jersey and has his own issues with power.... But as I read the questions, I think that people who are determined, confident and pragmatic are the ones who come up with Godfather... I wouldn't feel bad about it! What if it had been Medea or Three Faces of Eve?!!
lovely illustration and quote, something simple ;)
M
Love the figure! Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movie too...
Nice coloring and pen draftmanship!
Keep it up :)
Very symbolic and excellent interpretation of the thems.
The textures create a nice layering on this one. I just noticed the border, too - good graphic contrast to the organic, fluid shapes inside it. I also like how the green shapes on the bottom look as though they're evaporating into the green background. Very cool!
I enjoy your art. Not only your art has this mystic style, but your quotes has strong meanings as well, so profound. And THANK YOU by the way for your comments, I appreciate that!*~*
Ohhh Carla another one :) really beutiful, but Carla you forgot my question :P..
Beautiful work :)
Ey Carla, dont worry is nice to know because your artwork have a lot of effort and is a real pleasure see the last result :) you everyday are growing :)..
Yes,about the avatar, in this moment Im creating a concept art, when it will finish I will post it :)
Hey Carla, excellent take on the topic. The colour contracts are wonderful. Interesting technique. Always exciting to see your work. You have a distintive style.
Actually, I rather like "You can get busy living, or you can get busy dying" (another tagline from the same book). That actually motivated me quite a bit through some dark hours, and I definitely think it holds some truth.
Another of your beautiful elfin figures running freely in some far distant Eden - utterly appropriate to the topic and beautifully drawn as ever. There's a nice elemental feel to the Sun, water, grass, and the alternating triangles in the figure and background - lovely!
Wonderful textures! Great illo and quote.
love the background texture and the free, fairy-like figure.
Hi Carla.
Thank you for visit my blog.
I liked very much your illustrations. They remember me some Gustav Klint’s paintings. Do you know?
Very nice job!
Nice nice. Heheheh. May I know what kind of micron pen you are using?
wow!
Carla, you always amaze me with your talent!!! :) Beautiful!!
