Description Surely some of you will recognize this one . It's the christmas card I did last year for my publisher, Norma Editorial. Since a year has passed I supposse it's about time to show you . And, yes, it's the one I used for my avatar and the journal head ^_^.

I hope to be able to do a new christmas card these days to wish you a happy new year . Let's see in a few days ^^.

Edit: Thanks so much to ~BRESSEND and `cosmosue for the DD. It was a great surprise!!!

Very beautiful. Very soft and mysterious. The colors are very soothing. I love the poinsettias in her hair! ^_^

I love the way the bright red and soft blues mingle so well together! By the way, does the title have anything to do with Robert Jordan's series of the same name?

dark-spider In reply to Exillior [2009-03-17 17:39:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks .
The title is like an alegory, so it doesn't have anything to do with Jordan's series (that by the way I never knew about , I will have to take a look)

Well, if you like fantasy books, it's worth a read -- but otherwise... It's a series of 12 massive books (and the author died before he could write the last one, so someone else is doing that for him...)

I'm very flattered you find time to read all the comments you get!

dark-spider In reply to Exillior [2009-03-17 17:59:14 +0000 UTC]

I will take a look, surely I will like them . I love fantasy books.

I read all the comments I receive, and I'm very grateful for each one of them . I just wish I have enough time to answer all, but it's pretty difficult with all my work ^^.

It gets a bit repetitive after book four-ish, but it's a good read for the plot

And congratulations on the DD! I only saw today's DDs after I replied earlier, or I would've congratulated you

I can tell that this is one of your older ones. I wish there was something a bit more in her expression, and a bit more lines in the nose, but other than that, I like it!

Such an alluring piece and so liquifing. I love the way the grains of sand seep through her fingers. Also the very moon beam feel of her skin. You do very enchanting pieces of art.

oh! i just can't get my hands on those Wacoms!

do you think an art like your (The Wheel of Time) can be done with a genius tablet?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

dark-spider In reply to ghostontheshell [2009-02-20 23:45:41 +0000 UTC]

With a Genius? Sure... why not? . I heard is a good one. By the way, a better tablet makes your work easier, but you can do the same pictures with any tablet. Some of my earlier works were done with a wacom graphire, and back on 2003 I worked with a normal cheap tablet .
