Description
A gift for ~felypsa of her character, Amnesia. Amnesia is a vile, despicable, evil thing. This image is symbolic. She is seen lying on a branch, and though she is blind and unable to see it, can sense growth at the end of the dead branch and knows that flowers have grown on them. She finds herself in a moment of weakness as she contemplates what beauty is like, and ruefully wonders if she is beautiful.Critiques are most welcome.

I second Demin's "holy shit!" The wolf is absolutely stunning. The branch looks a bit more like stone than wood to me, with the circles, but I wonder if that's just because I've never really paid attention to dead branches before.
I love the way the feathers fall. It's so organic and natural. You have a wonderful eye for that sort of thing.

You're sooo sweet. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! And I honestly didn't use any reference pictures for dead wood, so... maybe I ought to do that next time. >< Haha but thanks again!

Whenever I see Ave create artwork like this, I can't help but smile and chuckle, especially when there is so much meaning behind the details. I can also only imagine what a book full of characters like this would be like. I know for sure I'd be reading it. ^^
