Description I refined this when I was working on my portfolio, so I decided to submit it here again. I tweaked here and there, but mostly the face.

comparison old/new face: [link]

it's not really that much of an improvement... OTL;;
----
Just a kind of old piece I decided to submit... something like a month old... I didn't like it, that's why I didn't want to submit it :\ (it's not like I like it now ahahah... OTL SUCH DINAMIC POSE, SUCH AN AWESOME INTRICATE BACKGROUND - a real piece of art. OTL OTL OTL OTL )

I used some Hubble images and some brushes I found on dA, but I can't remember who made them ;___; I'm sorry!! I'll surely give credit as soon as I can m(_ _)m


I have a feeling...this is what I want my style to be like. Hmmm.

on a side note...horns are fun to draw D:

Ohh the horns and hair look so natural, all smoky and wild. ovo And those stars are so beautiful against the black and grey.

;___; This is beautiful~~ You have such a talent, Laevan...

and just because it's not in a dynamic pose or doesn't have a super-detailed background - that doesn't mean it's not a real piece of art. I quite like artworks like this - there isn't too much "happening" so it's easier on the eyes~

This is a very striking image! The contrast of colors and the simple, haunting feel to the piece drew me in from the thumbnail. The horns are particularly impressive and beautiful.

airahnn [2009-12-06 07:06:53 +0000 UTC]

what a lovely, dark, gothic feel this has. I think it reflects a certain depth inside you. Ah, I really like the horns. They have gorgeous symmetry, and that's what I think makes this one pop. the composition and symmetry.

On the contrary, I don't think there is anything wrong with the background. if anything, It strengthens the composition.
