Description
A little something I've been wanting to make for a looooong time.
Water is still cruel to me, but I've pretty much learned how to deal with it so now it's easier. Yay for me! 
It's not exactly inspired by Swan Princess. You can give your own meaning to it. :3
This is for number 57 in my Manip100, "Swan". (Oh yeah, real smart, Nina.) *bonk*
I seriously need a break from school. It is becoming teh suck. XP

That is totally effin cool. Ruby is right, there's a bit of extra ripple, and a ghostish ripple effect between her two hands that distracts me a touch, but otherwise, I'm basically gaping. This is a beautiful piece that you should be very proud of. Water is my nemesis too, but you did very well with it. Everything looks like it is supposed to be there. Very, VERY good work.

The ghostish thing looks good! It's literally that single spot that I wanted to poke at..but don't mind me. I'm nuts.

Glad the stock was useful. The water looks real, including the splash and how it works with the woman/swan. Even the apparent sort of glow they give off seems to be reflected in the splash, the bubbles underneath looking very natural, too.
I don't really know how to critique these. I want to say that the top part of the image looks so blank, as if the swan and everything else should be moved up, or something added over the silhouette of the mountains. I dunno, just my two cents.
