Description i worked on this for a while before i jetted off to Rome( which was fantastic )

ive moved on a bit now and no longer have the will to fully complete it, its at the stage where i spend hours cleaning it up and its just no fun

anyway the sky in the background is my pride and joy...never drawn a sky before so it fun was trying to figure out how i should go about it.

i really didnt want to leave this image on my hard drive for no one to see.

please understand that this is as finished as its going to get.

depending on how you look at the image its either magical or tragic...but thats up to you to decide

hope you still like it

the sky is really beautiful! like you used to paint it all your life really! I think it is magical AND tragic at the same time (I see both in it). I like it very much!

Very cool but tablet is not traditional but digital medium. I suggest you change category for this one Other than that the pic itself is really good piece of art, your skills are really impressive. Keep up the good work and watch out for categories!

My goodness... I was thinking of a dream I had the other night, figured I'd try using the deviantart search to find a picture that reminds me of it. I didn't expect to find such a good match right on the 2nd picture displayed. This is very much like the dream I had

So true it looks as though the person is about to jump to her death while it also portrays the message of let your soul take flight.

Whoah, that girl's gonna jump!

It kinda fascinated me that artists can do pictures which are magical and tragic like this. I can see the beauty as well as the danger. Fantastic.

(wish, there would be a left hand to do the thumb up. )
