Description
ReleaseTorn
Fly...Please Teach Me...
Ever feel internally torn before? That's what this piece is about, and the composition mirrors it. I am currently saying goodbye to someone I care about, but I know it will turn out good in the end.
I consider myself a fantasy artist, and I feel that it is my responsibility as one to keep advancing with my imagination. It is extremely rewarding when you accomplish a new angle or perspective by tying in emotions.
The pose for this picture was taken from here: [link]
in friend 's gallery. She is a wonderful artist so go check out her stuff!
Mediums used: HB, 2B pencils, Zig pens on drawing paper

There is so much emotion in this picture, it fascinates me Ink, blood, hair, wings melt together with such passion and feeling better than any words could describe.

When I look at this picture I think "swish" ^^
Didn't know that emotions could inspire such beauty!

this is very beautiful.
I love the darker parts, they seem like the more important piece especially since he looks hurt.

Thank you for noticing the contrast-it is my favorite part!
The dark blood really catches your eye from far off, and it keeps you interested
I had so much fun with this picture, even if it was inspired from sadness.

Thank you
I try to focus on composition as much as I can, and I feel like this one turned out really well It's dificult to try new things when you are so used to what you are presently working with, but I found that strong emotions can give you the courage to step out of your comfort zone and go after what you dream of creating ^^

This is stunning, I love it, the dripping ink and everything. I'm kind of torn though, I don't know if I would have liked this as just purely pencil, or if the pure black of the ink makes it bolder. Tough decision...

Oh wow. O.O This is gorgeous. Way better than my original drawing. You took a simple pose and made it into something so much more.

I have you to thank ^^ You know what? I think I have the same book as you do, the one with this pose in it! That made me laugh
It is impossible for me to draw something strait from a photo/drawing and keep it Exactly the way it is, I always have to change things. You know? Plus it's good for me because I can sharpen my imagination-by putting what I have in my head down on paper!

Holy.
Wow.
This is so extremely stunning. I can't even begin to describe. The emotion it is portraying with the angle of the body and the detail of the wings is so vivid. I love that you have a need to make art when you feel strong emotions, as the audience it is great to see such changes in your work. You are a true artist.

Thank you
I didn't even mean for there to be movement in this piece, it sort of happened on it's own. He's wanting to leave, but at the same time dreading it, torn and emotional.
Glad it could make me try something new, and express my feelings through the pencil.
Your words are very kind, and I appreciate them to no end.

This is absolutely amazing!. It has to be one of your best works. I'm sorry hear about you having to say good bye to someone. I hope things get better for you soon.

Aikya In reply to blueicedragonau [2008-04-22 23:34:08 +0000 UTC]
I agree-this was surprisingly easy, and yet one of my better works.
It's hard when you have to say goodbye to people, and there has definitely been a downswing for me at the moment, but it's yielding some pretty interesting art! Thank you very much for the kind words!

blueicedragonau In reply to Aikya [2008-04-23 00:37:46 +0000 UTC]
I understand. I've had to say goodbye quiet a few times even if it's not to people but to a few animals. all of wich i can say were more human than most people these days. But enough of my blabbering. I really do hope you feel better soon.
