Artist's Comments

This was based off a black and white shot of Charlize Theron, though I swear it came out looking a lot more like Kate Beckinsale.

Hair was free-styled, background as well. She had a skirt on I didn't really care for, so I edited it out. lol, she's not bottomless, it would just be out of shot, I'm not that kind of artist ;)

Just makes me feel good, desired, wanted, also makes me feel like I am on vacation, something I am in desperate need for, ha.

I do love the orange sweater, you don't see orange hardly ever, and what you do see is the flaming neon hunter orange on wool, ha.

At first I was thinking Meg Ryan, but the more I look at it the more I can see Kate in this.

Great work

I love orange sweaters they are so vibrant and unique. I wish I had one hehe. Though it makes me think of Scooby Doo's Velma (not that, that is bad).

With material such as the sweater has, you have lines, creases and a sense of warmth - you have captured that with colouring and your own special technique. I think it looks wonderful. I really love her skin. Looks realistic and soft. Each colour in this image looks perfect and doesn't look clashing with anything. Really great work. This piece is magnificient and I truly ADORE your work Stephen. You have a special and unique talent that not that many possess. WONDERFUL PIECE :)

Also, she does look alittle like Kate - could be the nose?.

Beautiful orange sweater. Although I feel its kind of thin around her shoulder (don't get me wrong, its all kinds of sexy, but it looks like almost a continuation of her skin). Hair is good, the locks look very clear cut from one another though. Colours, tones and texture are all in place. Beautiful. Just a side note: I wear an awful lot of orange, I represent the male orange clothing front. Great job. :D very exciting to see new stuff.

Thank you, and thanks for the +fav ^_^

It does blend in a little on the shoulder, I'll give you that. It wasn't supposed to be a thick sweater, more like a thin summer sweater though, so that excuse works for me, ha :)

lol thank you and thanks for the +fav ^_^

lol Velma? Yeah that is about the only orange sweater I've ever seen too, ha.

Thanks for the compliments and critique, they always mean a lot to me, this one simply just makes me feel good ^_^

Yeah I think it's possible that it is her nose, though at this angel its about the same with Charlize, I think it might be a slight difference with her cheek bone to be honest, it's the slightest bit higher on Charlize and since her hair is covering up most of her face the other differences can't be seen.
