Description Whoohoo, the series continues... I guess. Despite how much other stuff I have to do I decided to take a break and color something fun. Not that my commissions aren't fun, they just aren't mine, ya know. Anyway, I've had this idea in my head for a while, two Dahlz connected somewhere like two flowers on the same stem. Not sure if that can really happen but... well in FG's realm it can, so there. I found myself really afraid to use that red... But the picture wouldn't have worked without it, since I invisioned this really LOUD red as the flower parts of the Dahlz. Using the color red is seriously like spilling blood on white sheets or something. It stains and stands out and kills anything else close to it. So I was very careful about how I used it on other parts of the Dahlz skin and such. I'm very proud of the little branch and the bark as well as how I cropped this. It was much wider before but I like the closed atmosphere of this version better.

Here's some color variations too. Layers are so much fun! [link] [link]

I know someone is going to point out that they don't have veins going down their bellies this time, I opted to leave them out because of the leaves connecting their heads. Something a bit more unique for them. What else.... these Dahlz aren't quite dancing, which isn't what they DO all the time so I deviated from that a bit too. And no, they won't stay connected forever. Eventually they'll fall from the tree and roam free. I imagine them looking kinda goofy with those big leaves stuck to their heads. I should draw that next ^_^. Anyway, another piece to add to the series. That makes what.... 5 now? 6 if you count the Sprout. Hmmm... expect more.

I like the idea of this one. The red color looks pretty too. Their bodies and how thin they are work very well. Such interesting body positions. I imagine they're flexing getting ready to fall.

They look like they're pointing out their next victim, ready to jump him quite literally (sorry - bad joke).
Another incredible piece.

I'm hooked on this series, I'd definitely love to see more . . . I guess it would be cheesey to make a Dahl for each color of the rainbow just for the sake of having every color of the rainbow . . . but assuming you werent doing it just for having every color hehe . . . I've been wondering how you would do a Dahl with blue petals, if you were already considering the idea Thank you so much for showing DA such a beautiful gallery!

This is... fascinating. My absolute favorite of all your pictures. Because it's strange. Yet beautiful. They look like fully grown embryos... kinda. Or like little girls, experiencing the morning dew for the first time. Or like females discovering each other's bodies... *stares*

Uh... print the picture out? Like in color? Are you just just using this for personal reasons? I could 'move' the watermark but not remove it completely. My publisher might punish me for that.

They'd look like pikmin with the leaves in their heads.

This is gorgeous. Particularly the red hair/blossoms, it's very striking (and gorgeous). This kind of reminds me of popart or pinups or something. It's very very pretty. And I love the last color variation you plugged.

It's delicious! From the instant I saw it, I couldn't keep away from it. (Although, I have to make a break now to +fav and comment... o.o but it'll be a short break. I need to look at it again!) Seriously. o_O Delicious is the right word in every sense... XD; Except I wouldn't actually dream of eating such beautiful things.

*is going to second what ~susamikat said* ^-^ Will there be a print? X); Honestly, if you put one up, I'm going to add it to my wishlist, where I as of now don't have a single print. o.o And then, as soon as I can, I'll buy it (;_; which sadly might take some time.. but... as long as I keep it in my list I won't forget ^-^). I NEED to have this at home. I just know I do.

OMG. You're fabulous...Personally, I have absolutely no idea what you were talking about in half of your description, but I can still appreciate the fabulous are. Truth be told, I love flashy bold reds, but, then again, I love all colors. (Where would we be without them?) The picture is very gorgeous and I especially like the way you've colored their heads and skin - very supernatural in a realistic way - if that made any sense...

I lurves it.

Lovely, the juicy texture there is fantastic ... the red looks fine. I think by using a warm violet for the background into the edges was a good idea, to stop that 'staining' and such ... the details on the hair are really so good, must have taken forever. How long did it take? They look as though they are hiding something, with such secretive expressions ... I wonder what they are smiling about ...
