Description



i'm so far down.
“..away from the sun..”
Musical Inspiration: Away From The Sun by 3 Doors Down
Behind this image;;
Two Thousand and Ten. I'm quarter of a century old this year and yet looking back over my life; I realised I've acheived next to nothing. I can't tell you how disappointed that makes me feel.
A little manip based on my feelings over the last couple of weeks. "Away From The Sun" fits this quite well I feel.

Enjoy,
Light and Love

(I hope that I don't have to regret not watermarking this big and bright across the middle! If you have any sense at all, or know how hard I fight for my art, then you'll know that taking this would be a VERY bad idea, I trust you're not brain-dead enough to do it anyway!?)

Wow beautiful piece.
I know this may seem like a weird question.
I love the white outline that is on most of your pieces.
Is it just something to enhance certain areas of the horse? Or do you do the whole horse.

And possibly is their a tutorial anywhere for that?

Thanks

I usually find myself singing to the lyrics you include. Beautiful piece, as always.

It takes more than 25 years to achieve something meaningful in life. Many people go their entire existences without doing much. Don't hurry yourself--you've got plenty of time to discover your calling, and when you do, you'll be fantastic. We're young, and that won't last forever. Time now to enjoy that.

Achievement will come.

I know how you feel.. a lot. I mean, I know I have accomplished a few things.. my family being the main thing but overall, I feel like I haven't lived up to my full potential. That I haven't really accomplished anything with my life.

Anyhow, enough about my tangent and on to the art. I really liked this one. The use of color and what you chose to reveal was wonderfully done.
