I like this piece more than any other piece I've made. And dear god, this took so long to make. I finally realized that no matter how much I work on it, it'll always keep on getting better and better and it'll keep on changing and will eventually become a different piece each time I edit it. So really, I'm just tired of messing with it, and here it is, my finished product.

Yeah, too much time was put into this. WAY too much time. And this isn't the only version that I'll be submitting.

Comments and +fav's greatly appreciated

Enjoy!

Looks like all that hard work paid off mate very beatiful, got me staring at it for a whlie really draws you into it.. the empty space toward the top really adds to the feel of the piece are you going to sell prints?

JessePringle [2004-01-10 18:33:29 +0000 UTC]

is this supposed to be in space? if so where is the starfield? I was working on something a bit similar to this, but it looked like a fantasy pic than a space one, and a starfield didn't seem to go well. I guess you had the same idea

well anyway +fav

That's really awsome, but I can't( I can but I'm saying this in emphasis as to how long it took) belive that it took that long. Well it was worth it.

I think it's perfect the way it is. It looks like a fiery butterfly, or angel, or whatever winged creature you'd prefer. And the strokes are beautiful. They seem flawless almost.
