Description It's really morbid- not like my usual works, but I put a lot of work into it. The colors are really harsh and I wish I could have added a bit more to it, but I really didn't know what I was missing. Lineart's messy too and the coloring's a bit off on her skin and wings. + the sparkles look a little corny.



Otherwise, I sort of like it. [link] align="middle" alt=" (Smile)" title=" (Smile)" border="0" /> . I wanted to make something powerful, but I'm not sure if I succeeded or not. Hope so.



Anyway, she's something called a sleeper. It's a guardian angel who's person was a child. Kid had an abusive father. But the guardian couldn't act against the father because the kid loved her 'papa' too much and she asked her angel not to do anything. But one day, he went too far and killed the kid and the guardian sort of went psycho and killed him in return. So now she just wanders around restlessly.



And and that's the kid's doll by the way. Poor girl's wallowing in her own regret. You can interpret what the sparkles are and why they're around the doll as well. And yes, her wing IS broken. [link] align="middle" alt=" (Smile)" title=" (Smile)" border="0" />

Here's another pic in the same SLEEPER series pics: [link] It's the 2nd one. ^_^

I absolutely love the colors and the " morbidness". There is also a sort of tenderness in the picture which contrasts it enough to give it the right feel.

Very nice.

Wow this is an amazing peice....so incredibly sad! I love the hars colors and I'm really glad it's such a simple piece. I'm really glad you didn't add anything more to it, that way you don't lose the angel in a bunch of detail you didn't need. Absolutely stunning peice, great job

More than morbid it's tragic, albeit a very well done tragedy.
Your attention to symbolic details from the broken wing to the glitter is amazing, as well as admirable.
Very good colouring scheme, the water looks awesome.

Man that is really AWESOME!!!!!!

Love the color scheme. Really nice folds on the cloth too. And the wings are really well drawn. The expression is kinda weird though. I dunno if it's sad or psycothic or something else. Well I think I'll go with psycho...
