wow

Pretty. Really, really pretty.

I like the concept, but I would fix the face to look more lifelike.

I like the backround, but I think her face needs some work. Beautiful colours.

i love it even though her neck and breast are a little awkward. $5

i like how shes like coming out of the frame thing....but thats all i like.

Love this, $5

really beautiful! $5

it is a beautiful drawing but im not sure if it fits for a t.shirt



Lore.

GREAT $5

Thanks everyone for the comments! If only I'd seen your comments in the critiques forum, I would have gladly made changes to the figure to make it better...hopefully enough people like this, though. I did stylize her on purpose to better illustrate the character from Shakespeare, though.

Beautiful!

Yeah, i once played Ophelia :-)

I love her awkward breasts. I just don't think she's wearing a bra is all. She's goin' au naturale.

sweet.

awesome illustration

Her oversized eyes and hair are beautiful.



The background coming through the frame into the

foreground is an interesting touch.



Is the design showing us the moment before Ophelia's

death by drowning ?



Is the frame working as a symbol of death ?



Queen Gertrude in Hamlet said Ophelia climbed into a willow

tree, and then a branch broke and dropped Ophelia into the

brook, where she drowned. Later in the play two characters

mention they believe Ophelia committed suicide, and they

both say they don't have any evidence to support their belief. Is your design suggesting that Ophelia didn't fall with that

branch and willingly walked into the brook to drown herself ?

this is gorgous....i'd buy it!

Shakespeare Hearts Threadless? That would produce some interesting results.

i really really like this! it is such a beautiful illustration, and the kind of submission which has caused me to pause in scoring for at least 15 minutes now, while i read on-line about Ophelia and Hamlet (it's been so long since i read it in high school...)



i wanted to refresh my memory on the character before scoring this, now i am really set on giving it $5!



i like helo's comments and questions also



i like the look on her face, it is very interpretive and fitting to the scene you are depicting



this is a really quality submission, lovely style, thanks!

Hey there, thanks again everyone for the wonderful comments, it's much appreciated. To respond to helo, I was indeed suggesting that this is the moment before she commits suicide. I tried to show that her innocence and sincerity were her tragic flaws ; she genuinely loved both Hamlet and her father, and both men took advantage of that trust and used her as a pawn. This broke her heart, drove her to madness and ultimately suicide. That's why I stylized her eyes and gave her a white dress and flowers, etc ; to imply her innocence and foreshadow her tragic death.



Sorry about how long winded that was, I do try not to be wordy, heh...

soft you now the fair Ophelia ...

pretty graphic but i don't think i would want it for a t-shirt

thanks for the well expressed response :D

Wowie! I love it. $5

Gorgeous. I love it. $5

very pretty

only thing as said above:

face

and

Boobs

I love her tragic, heartbroken face. I think she's lovely. And I have to give props to the literary reference in fashion.

It's very interesting and pleasing to the eye. 8)

I just think that the idea of her coming out of a portrait should be more well-defined.

Because, unless you look at the bottom frame of the portrait outline, it seems like she's coming through a door.

Perhaps this is a little too nit-picky,

but shouldn't a shirt be recognized at first glance? ;)

i agree that her neck is a bit awkward

but i love the rest of the illustration and the concept

i would prolly wear it anyway

idk... almost makes it...

its beautiful definate $5

and on blue

I'd like to see her with a sadder face, she's about to commit suicide!

so saaaaad, beautifuly done. i think the other figur on the bridge isn't relevant

Amazing.. Illustration!!! Really good..I like the delicacy of ur design..Nice color scheme..



Do Comment on my design, Current version..
