that picture is really supa doopa !!!. It is definatly taking prime position on my zbuds wall of inspiration in my room.
Superb contribution !!! .There’s a few
people, on this forum I’d like 2 combine
abilities with ,2 make one MOFO Image, and your 1 of them Bud ! 
fantastic image and thanks for the in depth step-by-step, it’s always interesting to see how people make their pics. 
Naturally, a StoneCutter has to comment on those rocks, Matthew…The contours and material of these are extremely well-done, and believable, and the spray effect with them is the perfect touch to unify the image!
I think that’s the most in-depth and complete step-by-step ever shown. And what a beautiful image. I like the way her shoulder turns into the rock as well as the hair waterfall. Is this Mother Nature? I’m glad you say this is a personal favorite, because that means you will be doing more like this 
DLee – I’m flattered! That is a very nice WIP that you have going, and is definitely inspired in its own right. I’m looking forward to seeing where you take it.
ztevie-rae – It would probably be very interesting to see what you and I cooked up if we went to work on somthing. Hmmm…
Michael – I knew YOU of all people would like the rocks the most.
Zoid – I’m glad that you liked the Step-by-Step. And yes, this is a style that I will definitely continue to develop. The juxtaposition of disparate-yet-similar items has always fascinated me in art.
Everyone else – Thank you! I’m so glad that you’ve enjoyed this piece.
a sensational thread following a sensational masterpiece… kudoskudoskudos, Matthew!!!

Well Done Matthew,
A finely balanced image with an illuminating process walkthru. I’d like to see more “step by step” with this level of detail! We all have our own methods to our madness - yours was a pleasure to read

Fantabulous is all what i can say!!
Mindblowing !!!
Truly amazing and inspiring… I just stumbled across this poking around looking at how ZBrush can be used as an illustration/painting/drawing tool…! :eek:
If only I could sneak out of work early to go home and ZBrush… 
Very Good Work Aurick!!!
