What I like about this image is it's potential. The central female body is definitely an eye catcher and that's good for the ...


At the first glimpse that image reminds me of Donato Giancola, amazing traditional artist and illustrator. But looking close I realised...

Deviantart doesn't let me go... again!

Well you know sometimes there are unexpected things. Recently I thought well man, this is it. No matter how cool you paint nobody will bother. It's like crossing the desert with no sight of life. I mean while I put some stuff here and chat with fellow artists I don't feel any growth at all or new experiences or motivation boost. Everything fills pretty much to the patterns I discover years ago.

It's ironic since you've lots of ideas in your head, you can master your tools but for what purpose? If I compare my mental state before and after the art is done, there wouldn't be much difference. That's why I call it [creative] desert.

Anyway, I saw it's time to pack my bags and put this gallery on hold like I did with my epilogue or elfwood accounts years ago. After all you've nothing to lose here. And at this very last moment I've got a note saying =PaIn-GFX has bought you dA subscription. Wow. It's fun but the same scenario happened about a year ago. I was about to leave and some wonderful gentleman bought a sub. In return I paint Ouch Sith image [link] but never mention it. Now another man investing into you and it feels like someone's put their trust on you.

Actually these models of yours reminded me of my childhood when I was drawing sailing ships all the time. I hope to pick up that marine theme someday.

the way you colour skin so perfect.... looks so real...wonderful skill...oh can i ask? what is chiaroscuro technique?
thanks.
:iconagnidevi:
Thanks, but I'm not that perfect with skin.

'Chiaroscuro' is an Italian word for light-dark and is a term in art for a contrast between light and dark. You can read more about that technique and see some examples at Wikipedia [link]
