In better news, I am so proud of this and its singlehandedly the most badass thing I've drawn. Now this I actually drew the other day for an art show I've done every year for the past four years.

Since this year was an independent study for me in art, I ended up having much less to show for it. So I made this for me to show my skills in full and boy I feel like they've really blossomed. As some of you may know, I have a love hate relationship with watercolors but I think I've finally learned how to use them well.

I do feel I should've used grey and not black for the background but it still looks cool so. Now I want to note the daggers and the breach, I typically try to stray from centering the character only because then your eye will focus on the piece longer but I opted to make this piece flow. In doing that the Breach was drawn to frame his hands, which hold two reverse daggers. This year I started the concept for a tarot card project and though I'm only doing the major arcana, I ended up using the meaning of the two of swords reversed here to a degree.

After finishing this and working on this I feel better, and not just because it's pretty, because I could pour everything I had into it and just zone out when I worked on it. Which was so wonderful to do.

I'm going to work on more like this on a smaller scale than 14 by 17 though when I go to do more while my laptop is down.

Which posting stuff on my phone is just, gah.
Anyway because I have no shame I have emergency commissions open to get the money to fix my laptop are still open so if you would want something like this check it out!

Okay
so
I need your skills with watercolors.

Like oh my god woman this is amazing.
The attention to detail, the hints of green in all of this, the symbolism and the attention to emotion is amazing
It's awesome this is poster sized too!
I'd totally hang this on my wall.

>Implying I have an idea what I'm doing.

Thank you omg
You flatter me I'm not even kidding.
This took me a while to even personally get to the skill level I wanted to achieve.
But I am so glad the details and symbolism was clear in this because not only was the execution of the art itself important but the meaning of it all was to.
Good.

Because I'm putting it on mine in a frame after it's done with the art show.

It's my pleasure

The effort put into it is clear in a good way - there's attention to detail and the painting which shows.
It's really cool with the symbolism.

GOOD

Why thank you Ross!
I've had the idea for a while but I never really sat down and implemented it properly.
This was me finally doing so.

Pfff thank you and man I hope so.
Plan to do more fine stuff like this when I can.
