The white dress/dark hair contrast is nicely done. And i like how her face is neither too young looking or too old.

I can't really decide about that face. It looks a bit too innocent.

But over all an awesome image.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Nice job overall...I agree though the face looks a little too innocent..I think of Lady Envy as a seductress

I have to say I totally LOVE this picture.
I like the contrasts between the black and white - perfect balance imo.
I like the mix between innocence and sexuality - great balance.
I think the face is great... just a hint of wryness... and a nice mix between old and young

all in all, very nicely done. I am in awe and would love this picture in my house :huh:

Extraordinary. Love it. Not how I would have pictured her but I very much appreciate this interpretation. The expression is subtlely menacing and innocently-seductive at the same time. When I find a piece of text that I can attach to this image I'll add it to the homepage rotation if that's alright with you?

Nice job on the hair dress and expression. I don't see her as lady Envy though. I kinda picture Envy as very Haughty, full of herself. This pic is way too ...calm. Great job though.

Awesome! Beauty, grace, innocence with a slight touch of the seductress. A Botticelli painting. Great job

I have been going through all my stuff, deleting old files etc...
and I came across this and decided it needed a proper background.
So here it is Lady Envy...

Amazing how context can change things. Good job

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

I really liked the original, and this one too - but that front leg could do with some work. Her top half is beautiful, pale and gracile; then she has this sort of elephant leg. If you could make it match for those arms, it would elevate it to awesome - I love Envy,
and the contrast between her looks and her power. She's supposed to look vulnerable and feminine, but with a gleam in her eye, as she knows she can turn anyone to her will when she wants, which is what I get from the picture. Really nice work. My eye is still drawn to that leg though...and I think I prefer the original background, the colours are great.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.
