Description even the stars can grow cold
I don't know what that's from but it's on my inspiration folder and it kept running through my head while I was painting this.

THE SCANNER SMUSHED IT WHYYY
I mean seriously I do not understand why that even happens

This.
Aghhhh this.
I'm really happy about this. Painting the wings felt like stained glass. There's nothing resembling a consistent light source in those folds but I don't care because I love them. The chains are the one thing that didn't really work out as well as in the sketch, but I was running very low on patience by that point because I really wanted to just finish this before school started and I don't have time to paint anymore.

There were so many adventures during this, haha. I dipped my paintbrush in my tea, I spilled water on it (and my laptop :c), I WATCHED SEASON THREE OF SHERLOCK which is apparently not good for painting because it's very distracting.

ANYWAY. This is for my art trade with Entitaria , of her character from this beautiful image , and I used this magnificent stock image (by MariaAmanda and Jan Holte Teller ) as a reference.

Done in acrylics! And sharpie for the swirlies.

I want to eat this, it's so beautiful! Your painting skills progress in leaps and bounds - I mean every single one just amazes me and you've got such great use of colour, the details in this are simply lovely.

It's sad that there is no higher compliment for me than "I want to eat this," but visual deliciousness is what I strive for. Thank you so much!

THE


COLORS


And her hair. And the way you've done the stars. And oh my gosh her wings. And also those chains and there are so many implications behind those and it's such a juxtaposition to the vibrancy of her wings and


and this just turned out so well. aklsjflkjsdf your color choice is amazing.Β

This is a beautiful painting. The colours are so lovely, especially those blues <3
I'm sorry I haven't commented on this or your journal before now, I'm just in a state of not being able to do much, and forming sentences is for some reason really difficult to me. Just wanted to say that even if I don't comment all the time, I always read/watch everything you submit <3

SycamoreSea In reply to Seolhe [2014-01-25 15:44:43 +0000 UTC]

Thank you soooo much. <3 I had so much fun with the colors, this piece was just overall really fun.
And it's sweet of you to say so! <3 But don't worry. c: You might have noticed that I don't comment on all your art or journals either... and the same holds true, I always read them and sometimes can't muster a comment. I understand how it is, so no need to think it bothers me. <3

OH MY GOODNESS
OH MY G-
OH M-



I've officially been put to shame. *dies*

This is so GORGEOUS! You've drawn her so beautifully, and the colours, the dress and folds, the background and wings, it's- I'm seriously mentally flailing right now. XD

I sincerely hope you'll like yours too, because I'm in love with this.
