If you're really a beginner, than I am extremely impressed. I love the contrasts and that purple outline you used to pull the whole piece together. Above all, I think it's the atmosphere that captures me the most. Awesome work.
No, why?
Thank you! Somehow I don't like AA, I'm a beginner, so, maybe, this will come to me later :)
Isaac Asimov?
I very much like the atmosphere in the background as well as the fractal pattern (I'm guessing some kind of gem?) at the bottom. I think the drapery border and the chair frame could benefit from some AA however.
love the diamond
