Description

Surrender.

pale like the first snow.
cold as the tempting, tentative touch,
of the shivering frost.

dim like the early morning -
smooth, and sugary,
like the lingering taste of chocolate.

warm, as only a spring morning can be,
delicate like a child's fingers.

surrender.

surrender me.

cool like the blade of a dagger.

Sweet. :)

Looks like the cover to a romance novel. And hey, the man looks very "manly" too. Still good lookin' just manly at the same time.... Nicely done. :)

Her dress is fantastic. Liquidwerx is right about the man. The birds are also a nice touch.

Oh my goodness... how do you come up with all these wonderful works??? Look at that lace on her dress! Arg! I'm going to stare at it somemore... Oh, I think the only things strange about the pic is the woman's arm/hand holding the dagger... it
seems a bit off... still, it's bloody impressive!

u r really GOOD! I almost like every pic u made! The color scheme is perfect in this pic.

....but why i dont see the man is "manly"?....the birds dont look like birds, and i
think there r too much birds in this pic....

btw, do u draw according the stories, or do u make up stories according to ur drawings?

Ooh... stunning work again! I think I learn something from every piece of yours :).

I love the way you do your paintings - there are areas full of beautifull well executed detail but also areas that are quite vague. It works wonderfully! The clothes are really impressive. The woman's dress is beautifull but the man's coat is at least equally impressive, maybe even better ;). You can really give your paintings a character, a mood, not just technically excellent work.

Your style somewhat reminds me of Jeff Easley, who is one of my all time favourite artists - your transitions are silk smooth and the textures are really pleasing.

However, I have a few points that I would like to share: first of, as noted before, the hands are a bit off. Her right hand, holding the dagger, could actually be like it is, if the dagger's handle is really curved. But I think it is still a little weird.

The other hand is good except for the pinkie - I think it is a little too big and the posture of the hand accentuates and draws attention to it. Lastly, the dress has a point in it's hemline that looks a bit unnatural. Though, the rest of the hemline, the "tail", looks really good resting on the ground.

Overall, a really good painting - I am looking forward to seeing your next one :).

I looked at his face and thought : 'He's gonna kill her.' Then I looked down and saw the dagger in his hand. You got the expression just right. Excellent!

Arr, what a lovely piece indeed :) Love the exquisite attention to detail, and the overall color scheme is sombre yet soul-stirring. And the knives add a unique touch to the piece's story...makes you wonder what transpired before and what will happen after :) +5

great colours and great mood... and a male looking male! as always loving your work Enayla...
But I must say I'm confused? - why have you chosen to pinch the daggers so tightly between the mans back and the edge of the frame? my focus keeps wanting to fall off the edge of your pic ;) all the lovely detail in the dress and background are so far from the focal point that they are almost lost! :?
did you try having the characters on the other side of the canvas - with the background space drawing your eye towards the daggers in the right of center?...

What can I say about your art ?......I hate you ;).Always envy your skills at drawing characters and fabric ( two weakness points of my art ) and the mood of sensuality that usually surrounds your art ( this image,for example ) .Stunning as always...

This is really great stuff, the detail is amazing although you may be in danger of the female artist syndrome of making a man look like a girl...still no pointy ears which is always good

The way the birds fly above them is pretty great!
It's like a demoniac aura surrounding them!
Beautiful as always, Linda!

I really love the detail put into the clothing. The blade behind his back is a very nice twist that adds a lot to the painting.
