Lacrimosa

Krystal's picture

Rather large image below.

So, I finally broke down and tried a digital art program for the first time. I was rather nervous about it, and understandably overwhelmed as I've only had it for a few days now. This stemmed from my very first doodle in it, starting from just a random eye and continuing on to see what would happen (admittedly a very clumsy way to start a head-on shot of a face, so it's not particularly accurate).
Relating to/inspired by Eraline's death.

don't know if it's because

don't know if it's because I've been down for a while myself, but the simple preview of the eye stirred emotions in me. The whole thing, combined with the music made my eyes water.

Wonderful job, the colors, the eyes fluid with emotion.. all of it.

This is one of my favorite

This is one of my favorite pieces on TEF.
It reminds me very much of Sithrim's work, also.

I love the ethereal glow.
Textured brush strokes tempts my fingers, I want to run over each individually.

/Sifts through the hairs that fray under the antlers
And those tines? Confetti.

These comments really mean a

These comments really mean a lot, honestly <3 I am very happy so many have enjoyed this, as it was meant to really be more of a test of what brushes appealed to me most, and how in the future I would prefer doing fur textures etc. Wish I had done a better job on the tears, however, but as they say, hindsight is 20/20. ><

so pretty loves it
