Description The road was long, they tried to warn.
The way was steep, the path long worn.
The winds would blow along the mountain range,
As is the way of the winds of change.
Yet change is what she desperately sought,
and so with nary another thought,
She took the risk, she took the chance,
And through the bitter trial she danced.Β 

She danced through pain, she danced through strife,
She danced through the sour parts of life.
Though others jeered, she held up her chin
and faced the disbelievers with a grin.
Though road be long, she would prevail,
in this short chapter of a longer tale.
And at the end in new meadows uphill,
She knew her dance would be sweeter still.

@_@ Wow. I Β think your artwork has climbed some stairs! This background is huge, with so many details, curves and folds. This must have taken some time, because the shading is everywhere, and in all the right places. It's so rich and dark near the bottom, getting lighter at the top, suggesting she's looking upwards from the bottom of a hill. Her expression seems to suggest she's looking at the climb she's in for. Daunted, but determined to go on. And again brown/chocolate and cream really goes with Rose. It was practically made for her! I love the wind in her hair. You don't get to see her hair waving like that, and it's quite glorious. Seriously beautiful work, Spectral!

Thank you so much!
This one took quite some time to pull together. Between a few interruptions due to hospital stays and with finals to complete, I had to constantly put it on and take it off the proverbial back burner. But I am really glad you like it and I am happy with how it came out as a whole. ^w^ Rose is always so fun to draw, and I love the challenge that shading her hair and clothing provides.Β 
The background itself was an attempt with atmospheric perspective but also me wanting to try my hand at doing so through sfumato. The blurriness really helps to add depth.Β

The background was an attempt to show a bit of atmospheric perspective through the use of sfumato. ^-^Β

What's sfumato?

Basically working without harsh outlines in a background. Da Vinci used it a lot in his work. It is a blurring of the background into almost a hazy representation. It makes for a more realistic depiction of light and color.Β
