Description You should never be afraid to be original, but there's nothing wrong with liking that which has been done either. This picture is a sampling of every trendy and not so trendy element I find myself attracted to all mashed up into one picture.
I know it's filled with flaws. I did a pencil sketch first, then watercolored it with a defective stretch, reworked it a million times, tore it in multiple places, went over the pencil with micron and messed that up, then added a few finishing touches with prismacolor which also got reworked several times.
I hope you like it anyway

I just realized there should be butterflies or moths somewhere in the picture! I love when pictures have them...

The first thing I noticed was the metallic colors and textures... I love it. I love every element of this painting, it all just ties together so well from her hair to the mask to the gear trees. So flipping cool!

It is amazing. I was going through my deviations inbox before I actually saw that you had sent me a message and I found this and loved it and now I am going to stare at it forever. The dark colours are exquisite!

This is really, really beautiful. I like that you drew inspiration from my work as well as others. It's like you're learning from collective experiences. I'm still working on that one piece, mind you.
