I hate to just say what others are saying, but the emotion in this really pulled me right in.

The emotion you created on her face is very strong and touching.

beautiful *-*

The pain on her face draws so much emotion anguish yet a subtle sense of belonging to something greater thanthe pain...love <3

this piece makes me wonder at the back story. Curious as to what you were thinking when you pieced this together. It's poignant without being melodramatic, and I love it. Everything about this is perfect.

I agree with 'lone-momo'! There isn't ONE piece of yours that I don't LOVE! You're so talented!! <3

The colors are just perfect, and you can really feel the emotion here.

very powerful

Incredible!

O____________________________O DAMN GOOD

i love your style, this is beautiful!

absolutely stunning image. It's not often that you see this much emotion in art these days.

That line is from Common.
Common is the shite.
It's cool that you are a hip hop/rap fan and such a great artist.

That's so emotional!

Beautiful!!

I like this!!!!!!!

speechless

I love the colors and the emotion.
amazing

Beautiful. Complex. Gorgeous. Simple. Wonderful. Take your pick. Any apply to this masterful work. Thank you for sharing.

A very touching artwork.

Abstract and emotional. Very nice.

There is both pain and beauty interwoven throughout, and such a balance of both that I'm caught with half a breath between the two.

The gesture of attempting to stop the inevitable...a strong hand trying to slow the life seeping out...

I wish I could help her.

In other words...beautiful work. It kinda struck me in the gut.

Those waves of energy and emotion! Really great work, those hands and all the details in the hair/ clothing are really beautiful.

you never stop to amaze mate!~

wow just amazing!!! so much emotion!!

hot as always mate, still waiting for our dining table of glory (light should come from staight above it btw)

anyway awesome work!

i have to say it is definitely one of the most amazing illustrations i have ever seen! the style, the colours, the feelings in this picture, everything is just beyond perfection. thank you so much for that!

still love your style and painting ability

i like how you always combine something abstract with excellent realistic painting.
I cant tell whats going on here...but its a very emotional piece.

beautiful....
it's sad i can't describe it any other way, but it's just beautiful....

wonderful emotional work

Amazing, the eyes seem kinda off to me. Great none the less though.

simply beautiful - the expressions on their faces provoke empathy, and the abstract symbols add to the mood rather than detract from them. Excellent work!

Wow--the emotions just scream out of this piece. It's beautiful.

love your color pallette. Amazing art after art, you're on a roll

Like everybody here said, this pic has emotion inside! Reminds me to write to my girlfriend that I love her
And I like the brushstrokes. I think pics are better when they´re not so polished, I am always most curious about the artistic process, at least the strokes show the painters movement around the piece.

amazing o_O
great effects and coloring

I had a plan once too..

I'm not sure, but I think that's either a De La quote or a Common quote.....please correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure I probably am at this point...I've been drinking a little bit tonight!)
