Nice detail

So you have some nice detail here the black and white theme is good love how its not just straight forward but has some unique visual about it

~X~

Woah man, the detail in those black background vines sprouting up from this (Mother?) Earth is pretty incredible! Very fluent line-work too, and I like the linear shading that layers them; gives it all dimension. Not so sure I like the shift between the light and darkness as much, maybe because it's not directly light which the darkness is rushing out to but rather a canvas of gray and dirt. On the other hand, it does make the woman all the bigger a highlight in the scene.

At a first thought I assumed she was nature; the growth a symbol of herself, but it seems like the darkness is consuming her? Growing? Hopefully the vines aren't symbolic of nature itself, so the world is our enemy, but rather symbolic to the 'growth' of whatever it is that consumes her. With such a dark scene (if I'm not getting the wrong impression entirely) the title's a bit misleading... but then again just the word 'Khoobsoorat', devoid of meaning for who don't know Hindi, sounds... right somehow. I wonder if there is meaning to the name, though? If there's beauty in darkness? If beauty is what is being consumed? What does it all mean?!

Well, setting meaning aside, I like it. Abstract; beautiful in its own way, though the cave of darkness in the background and the bland gray surrounding seem to have potential for somehow better visual appeal. Maybe just a symmetry in the darkness approach would make it all right. Nice work!
