"In all your beauty you are nothing more than a lifeless puppet."

Photoshop and ~20+ h, but only because I'm so slow, I guess.
I think it looks best upside down ;P

I really love this. The color scheme goes so well with the concept in my opinion. The hair is wonderfully done and her face has a slight asian influence which makes it indeed puppet like.

For some reason this reminds me color and style wise of someone but I can't point my finger on who. That's not a bad thing at all it just made me think of someone else but yeah..like I said.

The only crit I can think off (since most other things seem to be your style and work totally beautiful for your paintings) is that her eyes look in slightly different directions. I am not sure if she is supposed to look at the viewer or slightly over our left shoulder.

@Kyena: Hm, I think she somehow knocked her head really bad and hasn't recovered from it yet. Thus, the squint. Eh, just joking XD. Thanks for pointing it out. ^^

I like this one
but I would think since you were going for puppet
maybe showing the joints like in the wrist and shoulder area to give more of an effect of puppet
and maybe even antiquing her skin
with some cracks texture
my impressions now is that it a Victorian style painting with a splash of bondage with the hook screws and lines holding her up
I would also think showing just a little up top the wooden thing that holds her up with the string would give this even more of an effect of a puppet
ok looking more now I see in the wrist you did make a line to show a joint maybe it needs some shadow to show its 2 parts
its really light...
over all very interesting post
hope my comment didn't offend you just telling ya how I felt when viewing your post

Well, all in all great job, I really love all the details, but as Kyena already mentioned the eyes are a little bit off. I also think that the nostril (fleshy part of it) should be a little bit smaller, this way the nose looks bulky and doesn't go with the delicate features of the girl. I love the concept. The dress is beautiful! And I really like the hand. My top points despite some minor errors.

Very nicely painted, the only thing that isn't working for me is the screws into the skin for the wires, something about them just looks off. perhaps pulling up the skin higher to show more force or something.

@kittyKat: Serious critiques never offend me :). Thanks for your suggestions. I was thinking about splitting her hand a bit from the arm to make her look less human. But it looked a bit too gross *g*. It might also have change the message of it.
Is she human? Is she a puppet? Or is she a human who would deserve to be nothing more than a puppet? (with the joints as symbols of her lack of humanity). Yadda yadda, I'm rambling ^^;

I like it.
(well she has mighty breasts, I'm jealous )
Whatever clolors and painting technique look fine to me.
I have nothing to complain.

She reminds me of a lady called Rosana (R. Ikeda) from 4UM.

Well only a tiny bit.

Nice painting though.

very well executed and has a nice warmth to the overall mood/colours which contrast the nature of the woman/puppet.. Great work.

Excellent concept and very puppet-like face. Gloomy and sort of ill-fated look :) The boobs are a bit off perhaps, but it doesn't distract that much. Solid work.
