I think your piece has a overall great Vision to it. Sexuality, love, religion, despair, and a long life shine through in this piece. Although the originality of the piece isn't the most original it doesn present a sense of uniqueness in its own right. I do get a sense of gothic vampirism that is true to the Anne Rice world. And that is not a bad thing. It actually is a good thing because she, the characer, is holding onto her eternal life as if it was a burden. Showing that she did indeed have human aspects that older writers couldn't concive of. The emotional implact of this piece effected me greatly because it showed that she was trying to be strong when she was in reality in despair.

What do you think?

Gothic Rose is a fabulous piece of artwork. I don't want to re-state the previous comments, but I have to say the hair is probably the best I've seen, ever. I was thinking that maybe the rose tattoo could've matched her hair color more, but maybe it ties in better with her lips. Her hair is certainly a gorgeous color, and the shiny parts are excellent.

Looking at the picture on the right, I love the flesh on her back, and the structure of the back itself. Very life-like, rather than simply smooth.

I don't know if it's Gothic, just because there's black in it. To me, the woman looks quite elegant. Very well done!

I'm just sitting here with my jaw dropped and repeating "This is like.. wow... wow... just wow."

Beautiful model, gorgeous shot, lightning, concept, colors and that seemingly plain black dress beautifully brings out those wonderful roses on her back.
I'm literally mesmerized by this shot.
