What's Fabio doing here?

Anyway, this is definitely striking due to being in a different medium that we'd normally see. The attention to detail on the boat's planks is nice, though quite possibly necessary to be able to identify it as such readily. The pleating on the skirt, the sleeve cuffs, the collar, the pockets, the contouring of the whale's tail. This is very nicely done. In that medium, it's of course going to be very tough to make the lady look attractive, so we just have to mentally add that as well. But if you'd done a drawing, where it's easier to convey that, I don't know that I'd have as much of an appreciation of its workmanship. Hard to say. Depends on how good the drawing was, I guess.

I don't know much about art, so this is just my reaction to it.

This is breathtaking work by the standards of Writeoff art. 3-d media! The texturing is gorgeous, the story of the piece is visible at a glance (the boat hull is an especially nice touch), and while some of the detail work is rough (I have no idea what resolution this was made at), other parts like the collar come out very well. It's far beyond my art skill and I'm just impressed. I wish I had more pieces to rank beneath it.

I'm glad you entered this, artist. Thank you for raising the bar so high.
