Description
kinda sick of looking at this pic. I don't like it as much as I did at the beginning, cause it gave me a lot of problems.Why is it black and white? cause I decided to practice a bit with that, and it's difficult, at least for me.
and what kind of a title is this? ><
!!! EDIT: submitted the previous version instead.

Wow. Beautiful and haunting at the same time. I like the character design and the B&W theme works really well

There's something about this picture that completely intrigues me. But then, there's something about your work that is, honestly, intriguing and that's why I like it so much.

this time I didn't add on the texture in photoshop or anything like that, I just painstakingly added it with brush strokes and editing brushes to get the right effects. Believe me, it took ages, but I didn't want to just slap on a texture, instead just make one.
yes I believe I smoothed the blade surface over too much -you're right there, hehe, thanks for pointing me to it!
thanks so much for the comments, it's nice to see you back! I hope you're doing ok!

Ooh I really like this! Very moody. Maybe if you did a version with minimalist colouring added, just a few different shades in photoshop with the "Colour" layer blending mode?

D'you know, I was browsing through the art in my inbox without looking at whose they were, and I thought as soon as I saw this: 'That looks like a Silmuen pic'.
It's quite different from a lot of your other art, in that it's got quite a lot of texture and fine detail, rather than the more painterly pieces you often do.
It's still superbly weird and wonderful though, and has you written all over it!

Actually the best part of the pic is the coloring of what the two deathlike figures are wearing.. and the detail in it! At least that's My favorite part.. Would have like an opposing black stream from the other one to signify Good Vs. Evil,
and actually one looks like a human while the other a spirit.. hmmm?
And it's not a reflection.. so? I still added it to my favs.. not sure why, but i like it! Probably because I love expressionism.. and i can find subtext with anything. Thanks man ... i like.

hmm actually, before they were supposed to be two spirits fighting, but that would be too much of the good thing, then I decided maybe to make one human but still wearing similar clothes. Difficult to say, since yea there is a story behind it but since the painting has undergone so many changed it was kinda hard to keep up with it
So finally I got so fed up with it I just left it where it is.
btw I uploaded the previous version, with the actual contrast as I painted.
thank you, I'm glad you like!

Hmm, I think it doesn't show that you find working in black and white difficult. The shading is really well done. I think the lower figure is the hero of the story. Oh and I absolutly love the hair, it looks so real.
