My entry for Dianae's contest [link]

Menades were mad woman from greek mythology. They were infatuated in their religious ecstatic dance, killing animals and people and eating raw meat of their victims.

For me it's about feminine sexual dark energy, about love, lost, soul suffering, unintentional revenge and everything what pull a woman into madness.

Hello! I'm here to comment on your artwork in order to help you improve, as a part of Project Effortless by #alwaysmotivated! I really like this piece and think it is a very good digital painting. The color scheme is very nice and make the parts of the picture such as her hands, the vines and her eyes really pop out. I also like the composition as it helps the eye move around the piece, and the hair is drawn very well.

I think a bit more contrast overall could really help the image pop more, such as in the top of the hair and on parts of the body such as the shading on her chest and arms. However, I think you did a lovely job with this. Kudos. :D
