Artist's Comments

For the *ArtistsForCharity Valentine's Day contest.

-Photoshop&Wacom Tablet
-No referance


This turned out... meh-ish and took forever to finish.
The hair drove me crazy just because there's such an extreme mass of it. The skin tone was really hard to do without a referance, and was really rather bland so I ended up giving her freckles. It added a little more to it... and I love freckles.
The whole idea was supposed to be that this "heart" thing was this... warm entity, and was seeping into her. Don't know if it makes much sense but it did when I thought of it.
The hand might be off cause I'm crap at doing hands. Thus the lame attempt at covering it with body art. Ummm.
It's very glittery.
I was thinking about uploading some detail shots, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to it. Just cause there's alot of effort put into certain parts. Like the eyes. [Her] left eye actually looks kinda cool, it has this glossy, almost teary look to it. Yay.

for me this is the most beautiful valentine card i've ever seen. usually i see only hearts and stuff like that and i don't like it much, because of the technique, simplicity and so on.. yours is really good, captive and beautiful.

maybe if you cross your fingers
and if you count from one to ten
you can get up from the ground again
it doesn't matter, the whole things just a
Game.
