Valery,

Your images are always amazing. I still want to meet that woman whose image you made several years ago here on talkgraphics (don't tell my wife).

The texture works great "at a distance", but the zoom doesn't quite work - only because I don't think would have the cloth weave running at such an angle and it would curve around the body. I guess this is a particular problem because distorting the texture would be tricky.

When I saw the distance shot I thought it was a photograph - you are so talented.

Thanks for posting it. We are at the feet of the master.

Careful there Paul, religion is banned from this forum

LOL, there is always a dark moderator shadow behind me watching my posts. There are some subjects (worse even than religion) where it grumbles and threatens, but Valery the Xara master? that won't make my shadow even blink.

Count yourself lucky - I have a full rugby team of them snapping at my ankles...

Master was not capitalized. I think it might have a non-religious meaning (really, do you think, Gary? )

Exceptional image Valery. The rendering is incredible and the pose is charming with her ankle turned like that. You are a Master.

That`s a trial to explain my method of texture filing. Hope it is rather clear, because there are nothing new tricks.
Ask please any questions if you didn`t understand something details.

Valery,

Thanks a lot for compliment .
You know, I didn`t want to make an optical plausibility, because I`m sure that graphic must to differ from photos and create it`s own reality.
Some time ago I was inspired with illustrations (I attached cropped fragments) from old magazines and I think such way of drawing is very suitable for me.

Valery, who can disagree with the master?

Those are stylish examples indeed. I think that the difference is that they are clearly representations, while yours are so close to being mistaken for photographs - they would pass as photographs for most people.

It's all good and thanks for your explanation.
