What an great mixed media. Your effects and technique has worked well for this. Nicely presented with good impact and the use of the different effects in the mixed media has worked well here.

Beautiful treatment of a legend. I like the merging, it is seamless, and the colors are vibrant. The composition is very arresting and quite attention grabbing. Donkeyoatey

    Thank you so much, Truth the Latin American Legends are as fascinating as any others, they aren't well known. I try to help that.
Comment from Wendor


This is very beautiful!
The story along with the picture is a nice touch. The colors that you have used are very nice and I love how she kind of fades into the moonlight. Well done!

This is very exotic and beautiful. Your story is wonderful to accompany this. I think you have caught the Xtabay very well-tempting, beautiful and fierce. Beautiful strong colors. Your composition is really nice having her above the moon really works well.
One suggestion part of her left eye is just a bit covered I would try to pull that beautiful butterfly-like design back just a littl so the whole eye shows :)

    Thank you so very much, I had the eye covered some in purpose to give her some hidden evil, but I think you are right. I'll try to bring the eye back.

I think this is a stunning piece of work. The creativity and originality is truly impressive, as is the composition and artistic expertise.
I aspire to be able to produce something as lovely as this one day.

Comment from Figureman


A super composition of an interesting subject. What a shame she is such a nasty piece of work. The picture has a pre-Raphalite feel to it and is very kind to a most unpleasant lady. Well done

    Thank you for your thoughtful review. She may is unpleasant but that is very well hidden . She is suppose to look so beautiful no man can resist her.
