Very nice image you have created here. I like the reflections in the sunglasses. The details and the highlights are very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Servingwench,
Salutations, sorry about the long delay before responding, my computer went down, at least my internet connection side of it went down. And I have been really busy with my day job as well. Images done in stipple take usually days and days up to weeks complete depending on the size of the image, this one took like about 10 hours a over a couple of day. Glad you like this one, thank you for the review. I appreciate the time you spent and the comments in the review and the questions. Hope you are well, take care and cheers!

Comment from Nelia
Lucien, this has a very retro 1970's record cover look to it (the hairstyle and the speed in the reflection!!) - and the Momma and the Pappas California dreaming is absolutely spot on as a title - hey are you picking up habits from Dennis .he always uses song titles!! Back to this - what amazing patience (and endurance) to stipple an image like this, blooming brilliant! Great uses of highlights and shadows, particularly where her sunnies sit on her nose, her cheekbones and in the hair. Well done! How long would a creation like this take to finish?

Nelia,
Salutations, sorry about the long delay before responding, my computer went down, at least my internet connection side of it went down. And I have been really busy with my day job as well. I'm a design engineer for a US aerospace company, I work mostly with composite and plastic structures. Images like this one done in stipple take usually days and days up to weeks complete depending on the size of the image, this one took like about 10 hours a over a couple of day. Glad you like this one, appreciate the time you spent and the comments in the review and the questions. Thanks... Hope you are well, take care and cheers!

Comment from eyemagination
Ohhh my dear God! How tedious and difficult it must be to create something like this. I am absolutely in awe.
Excellent all around, specially given all the work you had to create this. May I ask how it takes you to draw something like that? Alex

Comment from Anne
This is great the way you have done it. I like the way you used the space and the ay you drew this one. The detail and the way you did the hair are excellent. The reflections in the glasses are great. A wonderful work of art. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from jamesnew9
Very retro... I really like it.. I think it may look even better if you added some hints of color to certain part, maybe the glasses.. also has very interesting cropping. Good impact.. nice one...
