The scenery is from a reference but there was no diver. I added her. Does she look like she belongs? Feedback?

    That ocean looks yummy.

    Edit: I like the diver BTW. Helps with scale.

    You always had a thing with composition (IMO the hardest and most important in any artwork), nice to see the progress with all the rest you are making, fantastic!

    I feel like the water looks a bit shallow to be diving, but I can’t explain why. Love the work.

      Probably is, the diver needs to make better life choices.

        Yes. My first thought before even realizing that this wasn’t a real picture was: this person is going to hit their hed and fucking die.

    I love how bright everything is. The diver definitely belongs and helps anchor the eye to the scene.

    Maybe she’s really a little further back where the water is blue and deeper and she’ll be fine. I like the way you have the water colors, it works really well.

      That’s what I imagined when I painted her. But it’s hard to tell depth or hard for me to portray it when she’s in mid air.

    Lighting feels correct, she belongs in the scene.

    absolutely gorgeous!

    somehow the ocean waves seem to be more in motion than the diver, making her stand out—reflecting on the cause of this reverse display of velocity inspires me to profound questions what it is supposed to tell me

    well done!

    I haven’t slept well so I’m not in a state to put words on my feelings…

    I really like this. There is something about it. Something good, and nice. Thank you for sharing. Much love.

        I still haven’t slept yet but I have some more words.

        I think it’s the way she’s voluntarily hurtling herself towards grave danger, and before making contact with the danger, she’s at peace. She’s floating. She’s levitating. She’s enjoying the short moment shared between her and gravity. The moment immediately following this one might not be nice at all. It might end in injury even. But it’s worth the risk just to get to be in the moment before that. This moment.

        Amazing. You should be proud of this one. 🙌

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don’t wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren’t sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, “Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?” If you’re still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren’t sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don’t be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don’t be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
