Inspired by a recent daily deviation shot, I went in search of portraits that could match the alluring gaze of that model (http://hart-worx.deviantart.com/art/Lorena-III-180913136). It turned out such shots are extremely rare, so I broadened my search to portraits that have a specific set of qualities to them. Each of the shots below portrays a model of which can be said that (any combination of the following): - she is shrouded in mystery - she knows no fear - she radiates self-confidence - she is fierce - she has power I went all the way back to 2005 and went through Classic Portraits, Emotive Portraits, Expressive, Fashion Portraits

There are a few works in my gallery that have gotten next to no views nor comments. I have been wondering about that a fair bit, as everyone seems to avoid them. That's why I would like to ask you: what makes you skip them if you view the gallery? :thumb53367747: :thumb53915701: :thumb41797744: :thumb34470507: :thumb75470008:

I just went through my favorites for whipping together a good feature list, but it seems my favorites policy played against me. I like commenting and fav'ing deviations that are somewhat lost in the mainstream - but I very nearly never fave the really popular ones. Which means all the awesome pieces I came accross are not in there :| Now that DA enables us to categorize favorites, I think I will reorganize them and add a "popular" category so that I can at least keep track of those works as well... Anyhow, I went through what I had so far for a small featurette until I have it all sorted. :pointr: Architectural :thumb78136491: :thumb82789
