A beautiful painting, White Widow, by Redrevvy, is a wonderful combination of techniques, carefully arranged. A well-rendered figure harmonizes with both distinct outlines, and more vaguely-distinguished areas of blending colors. The tight, crisp central focus juxtaposes with a ground that is abstract and expressive. A smart balance of color temperature makes the red areas of the flesh feel ironically cooler than the surrounding blue, giving the figure something of an unhealthy pallor and a touch of menace, adding to the already-existing hints of violence and sexuality as the piece's theme. The result is darkly mysterious and fascinating, a murder-mystery in acrylic.

congrats on the feature!!

Abhor? i had to look it up. =.= ANYWAYYY! ilove it!! I wouldnt get too deeply into it like radicial jojo cause i dont like to detangle my thoughts on pictures too much because i think too much already. But i do like it! The skin against the blue is the most perfect contrast. Great job!

Amazing work I like the background as much as the figure, especially the splashes at the top, and every detail is so thought out. I guess it has a deeper meaning to you, but I just really love looking at it.
