here is the original jungle sans lady, especially for you, Kathy 
the exported .psd was imported as a texture and used as backdrop only… simulating the light of the original jungle pic did not compliment the lady so the one with the lady has big incongruences lightwise 
I really love the way you have the light hitting the breasts and face … very beautiful image
incongruences or no, I LOVE the lady and the backdrop lit darker.
It’s just mesmerizing to me!
Well Hello juandel,
I agree with Kathy, I have no problem with any lighting incongruences. It may be a case of you’ve thought about it too much - didn’t occur to me. Since this is not a photo but the vision of an artist - if it works, it works !!! I really like it 
Loved the story of your crayon ladies and the links you provided 
Regards

I am in love with this new one Juandel. She is very beautiful bathing in the moonlight. Wonderfully exotic and serene as most of your images make me feel.
Blame it on the moon!
Reminder
Juandel’s Gallery of Ladies
Your latest is sensational Jaundel
glad you liked her, ZBs! thank you so much for your wonderful comments!
i was thinking about adding a few jungle-items in front of her to add more depth, but instead of doing so i got a bit distracted and used two days off to do the following batch:
Dave’s femaletorso.ztl was used for the top-left one… the vista (complete with Ed-the-Atoms-seagulls, once more - you can get them at Digits Z-Place) was already posted into the alphacentury-thread and hmmm - does not really fit, as she has to be in a helicopter or zeppelin or the like to get that vista 
also displayed are my first tries at chinese "kalli"graphy - i know its awful. the characters should read (top to bottom): chun - springtime, feng - wind, jing - scenery… feng+jing meaning landscape according to the book i used, so its a spring-vista. the only other 3d-thingie is the landscape behind the "feng"ed lady. the temple in the lower right one was created from a 3d-cone, but it was drawn and frequently snapshot without any depth.
hope you’ll like one of them, too
Hey Hansl, I love ALL of them!!!
The ‘oriental’ piece has this vista through the window, that my eye sees worlds in, the upper right one reminds me of a late 40’s-early 50’s Colliers magazine cover…The colours are so primal and clean.
The lower left one has a perfect oil-painting feel, and a simple and honest approach to the figure, and then the exotic golden Bali scene…
Well…What’s not to like here?
Keep these lovely portraits coming Hansl…Even the diverse styles are a treat for me!
well juandel,i think you are gettin better and better…
Some of your later work seems to become more organic, as if its painted manualy.
I love them all but the bottom left blue dressed girl (down left) is my favorite.
verry, verry nice
greetings
Bobono
Juandel Your newest pictures are classic–so art gallery ready wonderful thread ! of fabulous femmes !
As you know I love all your work, but this series has found “the spot” Just too lovely for words.
hands down some of the most beautiful images done by you juandel… thanks for posting such awesome sites…
more very beautiful images Juandel.
Some french impressionism to add to die brücke
hearing voices…
thank you all for your kind feedback! mucho appreciated!!!
this is my first try at using the fantabulous CanvasMaker © Maestro Digits ( x (insert highest number you know of)) which was released yesterday. this, Floyd, is a tremendously precious tool! i hope to be able to add a few more ladies painted using it soonissimo but as its the first real hot day this year over here i prefer to absorb some rays now, so it might take some time
I hope she doesn’t invite me for dinner, cause I don’t want to know what is growing there in her garden.
very scary wonderful textures and color
I have updated your Ladies Gallery, keep them coming please!
juandel, we have some very talented players on the Z forum but you are a true master artist. The “real deal” I see you have moved away from die Brücke style.
Great image my friend
stargo
thanks buddies!!! thelonious, the style of about 75% of my paintings is purely accidental and unpredictable for myself… most of the times inspiration strikes when something got terribly wrong and i give the flip layers thing a try instead of sudden deleting. then its just a matter of trying to camouflage the most obvious flaws
like in the below one: i just had finished smudging a photo i have made of an icebear in the local zoo last year and then started fiddling with the materials Picsas shared in this wonderful tut, failed misarabely (lighting) and though: suddenly then things started to come together:
Nadine Kempovsky, leader of the Lhofootse Expedition 2002, shows evidence that the Yeti is just another male chauvinist well: pig. collections of glossy magazines with centerfolds in it like eg. “Polarbea(ve)rs” were found all over a place that the expedition had wrongly identified as the Yeti’s deserted wintercamp. though feeling the importance of their discovery Nadine could not know that this shot would become a world famous photo in no time at all.
Juandel, Thanks for the sexy look at a bear naked Yeti. This image and the story are ultra-robo comical That Bigfoot looks like he is frozen inside of a big sheet of ice.
As for your technique, I agree with Thelonius. Even if you let your zbrushing ramble around and you make what you think are mistakes, you create very interesting and expressive images, like your “hearing voices” image up there for example. I love it. Ramble on
Wow!Juandel these are some very tasty images
The first one on this page is my favorite,although they all are special.
