Compared to the “20 Stunning & Surreal Illustrations of Male Characters” post that Lilian has posted later, every picture here look alike. Or rather, every face.

No, this is NOT criticism of the artists. I do think they drew them very well, and it shows that they were obviously aiming for one thing: To depict the most beautiful woman in the world… with the very best of their abilities.

Though they did it with immense talent, the fact that twenty of the best female character art in the Internet portray young, attractive women is a bit of a problem. Don’t get me wrong, I actually think this is more of a reflection on society’s view on the gender, or what it wants out of the gender.

Ok, I’m betting you don’t know what I’m talking about. Look for the “20 Stunning & Surreal Illustrations of Male Characters” post within this blog, and browse through the works. Observe the variety of subjects in the paintings, which vary from age, looks, status, genre, etc. etc. And the works seem to be full of sophistication; some displaying a deep study of the subject … or as Lilian pointed out in the title “Surreal”.

Now compare to the works in this post.

The jury will now decide… happy brain-storming.

One word to describe the collection is beautiful….Even Queen Triffidia and Karina look stunning…I loved the intricate designing done on beautiful lilac….There are better graphics for Tomb Raider…The innocence and purity of magic light has touched my heart….And last but not the least, I was bowled over by the idea and graphical output of Submergence; surely the best was reserved for the end…..Thanks for this lovely post….

@olunatic: Probably Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or a modeling/animation/rendering software such as 3D Studio Max.

Nice collection but hmm SixRevisions go for illustraction art? I though this blog is for Web developer and designer? The reason I RSS this blog is I can found the best developer/design tools and tips, if I want to find some illustraction or art related, sure there are other better blogs and web site for me. It’s like you subscribe an SEO blog but he write an Logo design article, I don’t think reader would want to continue subscribe it. I think SixRevisions should focus on what you doing which you are doing great right now, not putting everything into one place and become a yahoo.

My favorites:
#1 because i like the leaves and the picture has a (kind of) sad mood but the person doesn’t look that sad. It is kind of like the person had been sitting there and eventually got tired of it.
#7 because it was probably really hard to make the light from the butterfly affect the person’s hair like that, especially the bottom. Also the person’s head has an (i think) irregular shape.
#20 because it is wierd like that it would never happen in real life. The person kind of looks like a fish.
