Per te io sono un crisantemo

This is a truly breathtaking piece. I love the attention you've put into every little detail, especially the pearls. Every single pearl has a realistic and brilliant reflection. And her hair is phenomenal. Absolutely wonderful.

The use of texture here is also very well done. the background adds just the right about of... "grunge" type splotches to keep the piece varied and interesting.
I love the contrast you make in here.

Also, good marks on the color coordination! From the neutral color in the back to the pearl tones of her skin. It's a warm coffee and peach feeling throughout.

One thing: I feel like the title at the bottom is a bit strained. To me, it doesn't fit very well with the piece. If it were bordered maybe? Or more texture? Right now, it kind of hangs there.

Anyhow, I can't imagine how long this took! Vexeling is a painstakingly slow process, from what I understand. You've done a beautiful job.

Thanks for sharing! A well deserved DD. Keep creating please <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
