Description
This week , I've been clicking through random art here at Deviantart.com . Honestly I usually pass over most of the literature because it isn't really my thing, but for some reason my eyes stopped at a poetry piece written by ~NyteStorm When I read it I was instantly inspired to bring his style of art , into my style of fantasy art in piece named after his poem ! Thank you NyteStorm for this beautiful piece of literature. I Hopeyou like it!
I Beg
by ~NyteStorm
Standing at the horizon
Dawn rising at my back
Arms spread wide
I hide no more
See me, I beg
Head tossed back
Lungs filled with dust
I scream
Give voice to pain
Hear me, I beg
Emotion doesn't change
Love doesn't fade
It hides
Away from the pain
Feel me, I beg
Everything I do
Self-preservation
Survival
The desperate balance
Understand me, I beg
See me
Hear me
Feel me
Understand me
Love me, I beg
I searched for days to find a model for this piece looking in "full body" models as I like a complete image. so a tip to manip artists , check the portrates and nudes too , you never know what wonderous photo stocks you can find where you least expect them

It's a really pretty piece, which portrays very accurately the poem. It's hard not to be influenced by its atmosphere, the emotions you managed to convey with this one. First of all, it turns out that it was worth to look for the exact model for so long - the pose you chose is very dramatic and suits to your idea on the button!
Also the clothes you dressed her with fit very nice. The only one thing which bothers me a little bit may be the ropes you added. Maybe they could be done a little bit more realistically or just changed with something what will have a more fabric-like feeling?
So, thinking about any other weaker points of this piece... There are some tiny details, you know. For example, looking down on her robes I still see a little bit of not erased part of the rocks/sea (the blue colour). Maybe replacing it with a little bit of mist (cause I guess that was the point of leaving this "rocks/sea" part... I guess you'd like to make it look more mysterious...?) will be a good idea. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="
I've noticed that you cope with the lighting better and better, you pay much attention to make it look realistically. Maybe just rocks on the left need a little bit more light on the edges on the top? Anyway, that's just my opinion.
What I like the most are the model's expression, her make-up and her hair e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="26" height="17" alt="

Overall, I find this one a really beautiful and emotional piece. There are some details still to tinker with, I guess, just to improve your current skills.
Keep up manipulating! Wish you much inspiration for your future works! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Brand, this is absolutely magnificent.
The poem was originally inspired from reading Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, from the speech of the Calla Folk.
I can see her standing on the western shore from The Drawing of the Three, almost singing the words from the poem. I can hear the waves in the background, possibly even the clacking of the 'Lobstrosities.'
This is an absolutely perfect compliment piece to my poem and I thank you very much for doing it. Be assured that I -will- be buying a print of this to hang in my living room.
