Description This is a vent art piece, unfortunately the pic is taken on a slight angle, but I don't think it's too noticeable. Unlike most of my other vent arts, this one was thought out, so if you wish to leave some criticism please feel free to.

(Since this picture reflects my recent and past feelings on many different things which are too numerous to completely talk about, I instead am showing you an artistic equivalent of teenage angst poetry).


TL;DR : I am okay~ vent art to feel better. Yay~!!!

Coloured with COPIC markers, colour edit in Photoshop.

Thank you! It's really hard to do vent art though because I'm usually too emotional XD

This is so beautiful, Kat! Sometimes the best inspiration comes from tough emotions. I do hope that you're going alright now :3

The blending of colours you did for the skin is amazing! And the lace of the dress must have taken a while, it's so realistic c:

Ohgosh, Kat, this is fantastic. It's a shame it's a vent, but vent arts can often be the ones that hold the most emotion and can be the most powerful pieces of art around.

The details in the complexion of the skin is really nice, the varying tones really help to show the difference between her real face and the mask, and help to add a lot of contrast to the image in general.

Her tear-set eyes break my heart though ;-; <3 They look fantastic, but omgosh it makes me so sad.
The overall shading and details(especially on that dress fff <3) are amazing too. One thing that does bother me is her neck being lighter than her face? It should be in more shadow, the chin/hair would be casting shadow there(following the light flow of the rest of the pic)

You have a new account now? Ssssssss

I really love vent art, it gets me in an artistic mood

I didn't pay too much attention to lighting, and I did work on the face more than the neck; you're right... it is too pale. That's something I will study into, thanks for your advice!

haha I do XD

Doing vents always inspires me too, it's weird how artists can thrive off of their emotions like that ;u;

My pleasure C: <3 Your lighting is usually pretty spot on, but this stuck out to me a bit XD

I feel so out of practice! I haven't used my COPICs in a while, it feels good to do art again : )

That's good and does that mean we get to see more of Blob Kitty's art?
