Description If you're feeling down, remember what you are.
You're no more than stardust. No less than universe.

Go towards the light.
Next you're in the light.
Then you are the light.
A bright spark in the dark.

Absolutely stunning work! My favorite of yours now... Everything looks so very beautiful... Honestly, I'm at loss for proper words to describe! It's so outstanding.

Thank you very much! It took long enough and I really tried to get as much as I could right. Still I see so many things I should have improved.

You're welcome!
Ah... and I know that feel... xD I always have it too... yet I hardly notice mistakes with other people their art.

They say you're your own worst critic. I suppose it's true enough. I just prefer to think of it not as the worst critic, but the best possible-improvement spotter.

Hah yes, exactly! And I think it's good to have it too, as it drives us to really keep going and improving, I think.

Beam me up, Scotty!

Ah man Vex, what a gorgeous piece! I like your color choice and use of lighting to highlight the subject-- our eyes go where they need to go, you're an ace at this. The composition is great too, with wings splayed and antennae up to demand our attention. It works well! Very dramatic and authoritative, you can't say "no" to a display like this. One thing that would make the piece pop even more would be to add a tiny bit of "atmosphere" as I call it- a single color or shade that unites it all. This is cool with colorful works. Here, you add a new layer to the very top, set it to 10-30% Overlay/Softlight and then toy around with the color. Give it a shot, it really ties the colors together!

Overall you did an awesome job Vex, I really love this one. Your stylized pieces are always so beautiful and fascinating. I want to head towards the light, yes, I shall!

Thank you so much! I actually did something very close to what you're suggesting. I've added an overlay to give everything a redish hue and take a bit of overly-white haze off. Still, it couldn't hurt to fiddle with this a bit more on my next work whenever that's going to be.
Careful! If you go towards the light, you might not come back.

Hehe, hey you're very welcome Vex! Sometimes I find that experimenting yields the best results, so tinker around some more and see what works. Your digital art's improving wonderfully fast-- keep it up!
