Windswept

Apeldille's picture



Been working on this, on and off, for the last days. Ephiré has been wearing this set a lot lately,
and I wanted to portray how I see it. Very happy with how it turned out, and also good background practise.

Mmmmh, this is gorgeous!

Mmmmh, this is gorgeous! Those antlers are just spectacular... When Pan saw him wearing the Great Whites I assumed he had gone through with the antler change- I really like it~
The rock in this image.. I can almost feel its rough texture, and the little bits of grass crawling up on the surface too.

Eph's hair is so long, wispy, and his build is so strong against the light background.
I could go on for ages about this; but I'll just stick with 'Beautiful' haha~ ♥

This is breathtaking. I love the detail you put into it, and the design of the antlers and the way his hair is swept back by the wind. ♥

Oh I love the look of your

Oh I love the look of your "painted" works, your colors are always so well chosen. Beautiful work. Ephiré looks great with this set, loved the real deer antlers on him, Herla met him with Gehirn earlier today and was confused at first. His picto gives him away though. Always happy to see Ephiré.

Damn that looks amazing. I love his bulky appereance together with those long legs. He looks so powerfull. Those antlers look unique! How you pulled those off I'll never know.. Lots of patience I presume. What a lovely background too! Gives the image power.

The anatomy is amazing, especially on the legs/back and I love the atmosphere. It fits him perfectly.

Pandoras: Aw, thank you! Your

Pandoras: Aw, thank you! Your comments are always a treat to get. Antler change... mm, maybe. I kind of imagine them like this when he wears the big white ones. Sometimes he wears his old set though :)

Fincayra: Thank you! I came up with antler design when I put crazy elk antlers and the big white ones together, haha.

SHL: Hehe, all that colour theory seems to have stuck. Thank you!

Kaoori: :)

Misako: I'm glad it looks powerful, I was aiming somewhere in that direction! Those antlers were a pain though haha. Thank you!

SnowSauria: :D *spies back*

ocean: Thank you :)

This looks great! The antlers

This looks great! The antlers look a bit godly, but from what you'd expect from a particularly light god...
I like the "scene" this is set to, by looking I can more or less feel the bitter and wet mountain wind as portrayed in your art.
Eph looks very bulky, looking good~!

So beautiful. Lovely smoothness.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Iaurdagnire: :D Both antlers and background was very fun to do.

Quadraptor: Thank you, even though Eph is a he |D

Vee: Thank you! I'm not sure if you mean "godly" in good or a bad way though xP They might be a little too big here.

Eyestrain: Thank you :)

The background is really

The background is really nice, you're so talented with rock texture.
Ephiré's body looks so strong and proud, true (long legs 8D) especially with those antlers.. but his face, with the scar, add a melancholic touch. He almost looks sad to me, alone but always free (:
Crows! <3

Thank you! I'm glad you feel

Thank you!
I'm glad you feel the alone/free thing, I was trying to convey something like that.

and yes, crows <3! But in this case, ravens (; Hard to see the difference when they're so small though.
