Description Time, wish of the Sacrifice. || 30inch tall x something wide || watercolour

This is a new cover for ASPS Part 2 [link] and is the 4th addition to my series of paintings dedicated to high vocabulary words that start with s. Although sacrifice isn't really a high vocab word ... but you know it COULD be. The other three are Saternine, Sanguine, and Sanctify. I drew this idea in June, redrew in July, partially colored in photoshop in August, lost my file in August, transferred drawing to watercolour paper in September, painted in October, and am finally done after scanning it NINE TIMES. AT 400 DPI. (clap please) Note - if you hadn't figured it out yet, I title my serious deviations l i k e t h i s.

I might post another deviation later of detail shots.

Its hauntingly beautiful. Seems to have touches of gothic and art-deco in it. Lovely. Very lovely. You should be proud of yourself, more so with all the scanning troubles you had.

Wow, th is is wonderful, simply wonderful! I need to make a visit to your gallery to see what other beautiful things you have hanging about... this is wonderful though. I love the rain look. And the guy... He almost looks broken.... it's nearly surreal. ^_^ Wow. I wish I was that good... maybe I need a better art program... *thinks* Oh well... *favorites*

I admit its really good, and it was worth working on indeed.
And I think that, it looks as the time is dead and out cold aint passin' at all while rain is a part of a clock in it ...

Congratulations on DD.
You well deserve it.

You quite masterfully captured a feeling of melancholy, and vertical movement here with the rain and strokes of the background. The dropped umbrellas on the ground make you wonder where they all came from, and where the people who were holding them went. The composition with the clock, person, and crows is mysterious, and paired with the title gives it even more mystery.

thirdwaltz [2004-10-26 15:54:07 +0000 UTC]

In your list of words that begin with s, you spelled saturnine with an e instead of a u. Just thought that might be useful for proffessional reasons (my spelling isn't stellar, but I'm just trying to be useful). And, of course, congradulations with the Daily Deviation and the remarkable use of watercolors. Great work!

This is a great piece of art.. I can't really feel the meaning of it being titled 'Sacrifice' though. It may be because you can't really combine together whimsical and darkness... .just like you can't combine comedy and horror. It is masterfully done. I do love it.
