Description Phew I'm done painting it

Thank you to everyone who gave suggestions here:[link]

I appreciate it very much!

Actually this painting has a special meaning to it but I'll just leave that to you to interpret it your way ^__^

I actually painted the wings and shiny stars at the bottom with gold and silver paint ( I made gold paint form silver paint 8D) so it looks much nider in real life. The limits of traditional work..Well I said I'll use light blue BUT after the first layer of light blue my hand got itchy and started to put in the shadows and I think I over did it.. I hope its still ok m(_ _)m

p/s: I still would be happy if you Cged it, i hope you don't mind that I already coloured it! >.<

6hrs+
Alpha watercolours, Pentel Pearl Silver paint, markers for touchup!

thank you and please do fullview m(_ _)m

wow there are very few words to describe the simple majesty and elegance that this picture has, especially now it is coloured, and I think the gold and silver really did make the difference, very impressive, the amount of detail you managed to keep in the wings while painting, it's is defiantly not my forte..., I think that you didn't overdo the shading in the clothes it makes them look more flowy then if they were straighter, the lighting is very nice, especially with the red head's dress, I like that. The way you coloured the ribbons is particularly nice as well, the movement and shading in the reds is wonderful, and against a black background it works very well. The juxtaposition of the light and dark in the background is very nicely done too. The only thing I dislike is that it looks partly unfinished with the middle section of the picture still plain white when it could have been at least lightly touched with blue and black to continue the picture, not that it really detracts from it in the whole. All over, I'd say this is some very beautiful work and you should be very happy with it

Thank you for that very long comment! Must have taken ages to type out @.@ Well, about the white space at the middle I was trying to get a kind of 'negative space' effect (but I still don't know how to work it DX) Can't see the shiny silver and gold on the computer screen thoguh, I like it better in real life >.<

sora1589 In reply to arekanderina [2007-10-07 08:04:46 +0000 UTC]

hehe well with good work I like to be detailed, (unfortunately that means when I get around to replying to the back up of 430ish deviations that I have to reply to after my exams it'll take AGES but I don't mind much) I may not be able to see the shinyness of the gold and silver, but the colours themselves are very nice and work well, I'm sure plus it'd be bigger in read life no? and it's all part of learning, I'm sure if you practice some then you'll get the hang of making negative space (one of the many aspects of drawing that I have not even touched yet)
