Description Ever wonder what lies on the other side of the rainbow? Or perhaps even those mysterious lain clouds in the far distance? Sometimes our imaginations can run wild and amok with fantasies and mystical creatures... and even while we know they don't exist, we desperately and secretly wish they do in the depths of our heart.

She glares, but it's unknown if the stare is one of malice or regret, or maybe even longing. It's up to you to decide and to fill the empty spaces with your own misconceptions. It cannot be dictated to you the imagination you create.

I know i don't comment on much, but i look at EVERYTHING. I think you really do have a huge talent when it comes to art that isn't pixel related (although you're quite good at that as well). I love seeing you do digital art.. you should do some more.

Should I run away or walk towards her?

She is so enticing! She has the classic stereotypical signs of an evil mythical creature (horns, wings having a slight showing of red) yet I can't help but think that if I saw her I might just walk cautiously towards her.

Her posture is what really makes me feel that way. You've done some great anatomy work on her. The wings make her stand out so much though. Her hair flows so well and I love the colours used throughout. They're so contradicting. The smoke/clouds/magical stuff around her makes her look so foreboding too.

I'm so proud of you Nikki!

i love your comments, they're always so insightful and inspiring. I'd be crazy not to love you .

You're the first person to comment on the fact that you can't tell whether she's good or evil... what would you do once you got close enough to touch her ?

The colour choice though, was in all honesty a coincidence. I didn't really think about how the colours of the picture would affect the mood. i don't even know why i chose to do the wings blue, and the horns red. Weird isn't it? i guess i just got lucky

The smoke/foginess was supposed to lend to the fact that she's mysterious and you don't know what to think. I'm glad it came across that way.

Hehe I love the horns personally, i think their bumpiness and un-uniformness is very beautiful in an odd sort of way. Thanks for the +fav by the way, i'll have to check out your gallery

I love the colours too. Y'know, chosing the colours was one of the hardest tasks for me, i didn't want it to be too repetative or for the colours to drown the image. It's nice to see someone who thinks i did a good job on it

Thanks

DeviantStippi In reply to deadlights11 [2005-11-27 00:06:10 +0000 UTC]

you are welcome... yes it's hard to make the colors something that supports the picture and doesn't MAKE the picture....
you did a very good job

Hehe, funny you should mention the expression. I'm not exactly sure what the expression is, is it good or bad? angry or deep? All i know is i loved drawing it, although it took me awhile between breaks to go back to it... I was always afraid i would screw it up

The wings are light and feathery looking, I love them too
