Description Now finished: 
------


I love to look back on older drawings and see their flaws (as it means I'm improving) Honestly I feel like this with my last WIP of this piece: fav.me/d739aoh gah, I now see so many flaws in her face now! 


I've put so many hours into this piece already (think of a number then double it) its a very personal and quite emotional for me, and I want to do it justice. It's coming along though You might notice these colours are looking rather different to the last ones, well I was playing around and like how these colours look and am now a bit torn between these and the warmer scheme, feel free to let me know what you think


Oh, it's a photo of me working on my little Wacom Cintiq Companion tablet (I'm drawing on the screen I haven't worked out how to do a normal screenshot yet XD)


Can't wait to share the finished thing with you. Though I'm kinda nervous ^_^;


Lots of love, 

DestinyBlue x

Wow beautiful art!

You should be able to screen shot by pressing the windows and volume down button at the same time! Just check your pictures>screenshots folder and it should be there!

It would be cool to put this and Fire Within together, like sort of have them facing each other(or away from each other).

I like the cooler blue colours, but i think I enjoyed the concept of fire within with a warmer colour scheme a bit more . Who knows, you could place a mirror in between the two and contrast the two concepts somehow. Whatever you do will be wonderful, can't wait to see this, stay strong!! You're amazing

I think you should do both. Like a kind of hidden image of her but in the warm scheme. All in all I think no matter which way you go it'll look fantastic.

Honestly I don't know anything when it come to drawing, but I like to think of myself as someone who appreciates art in one way or the other! In the description there you said that you saw so many flaws in her face, and I'm thinking to myself "Are we looking at the same picture this as guy is?". Cause buddy, you are clearly not seeing the piece I'm seeing right now, it is beautiful!
You should really keep in mind, the common crowd like me does not nitpick as the artist does, we just see beauty! And right behind that eager hand of yours it lies!

Yesterday I was looking through my drawings folder and found one I did about a year ago. I was REALLY happy with it then, but when I saw it now I just thought "wow, I hope I didn't show that to anyone."

I actually love those colors together like that. Very soft, serene....like a haven under water. You don't see too many like that.
Very beautiful piece of art!
Just wondering from your personal perspective.....Is using a tablet where you draw directly on the screen better than the others that don't have that?

AsjJohnson In reply to ??? [2014-02-09 02:11:08 +0000 UTC]

I don't like seeing the flaws in things I draw. ^_^" For me, it means I stupidly didn't see something before finishing it. ...Maybe that's why I tend to have trouble finishing pictures I want to look good. I guess my avatar's like that. I'd painted around that picture enough to use as an avatar, but I haven't finished the whole image yet. Hmm... it needs some of that glow that's in your pictures.

Very pretty! I see no flaws. Isn't the Cintiq wonderful! I love mine so much!

You can take a screen shot by searching out the snipping tool on your computer in the start menu.

Or you can press prt sc on your keyboard and when you open photoshop make a new document and then click edit paste. You can paste it in word or paint too.

Not to be picky, but I liked the warmer scheme better. Most of your paintings have blue-green-purple-pink schemes and I'd like to see one other than Golden with a fiery feel. 

Great work, though I'm a huge fan.

Wow, This picture is great. I just love your artwork, it inspires me with new ideas every time I see a new one.

I think it would be nice to have both of them, as I also love the warmer tones and the blues (blue is my favorite color ).

The way I see it: They are celestial twins, one born of fire, the other born of ice, one passionate, the other cool, the one rules by day, and the other rules by night. And the expression on their faces is due to the loneliness of having been torn from their other half at birth, bound forever to be separated from each other by the cycles of day and night, only briefly being allowed to touch at dawn and dusk, but never to embrace each other.

Anyway.....that's just my two cents....he...he...hmmm.

But if I had to choose just one, I would go with this one, the blue one, as I said before blue is my favorite color and it does match her expression beautifully.

Keep up the good work!!!


P.S. I hope I didn't completely weird you out...

Beautiful idea, thanks so much for sharing.

It's great to hear people would like to see two versions... and it kind of fits in with what I wanted to do already, hmm, I'll work it out

Thanks <3
