Let it burn

Let it Burn by Red, from the album Until We Have Faces.
Again. =x

Like usual, this started out one way and ended somewhere else entirely. I probably didn't put as much time as I should have into it. And it actually is not at ALL the idea I had in my head when I first heard this song. I don't know if I'll draw the other one.
I'm not sure if I like it. I also have a version without blood on the sword or anything and the dress is all red, but I THINK I like this one more... Not sure.

I just wanted a background for my desktop I guess.

No problem! The dress looks especially amazing. It gives a dynamic feel to your drawing.

I think this piece turned out beautifully - well done! The color choices blend so well together and there is such a richness and depth to it. I would love to see more pieces like this one!

I really like the concept of this. And the use of the colours really works.
I think her right hand looks a little awkward... you know, where she's holding the dress? Yeah...
Also, the red flames... I like the way you've integrated them but I wish you had exaggerated them a little bit more. I mean... you can tell that they obviously are flames but they could be a lot more flame-y?
I have to say, I love the mask. It almost seems like it's her face at first glance... which is why it just really works.

Thanks very much! I always appreciate your criticism! ^^
I agree about the hand. Haha, it was one of my frustrations! It looked alright in the underlaying sketch but when I started to color over it, it got awkward. Especially as I tried to make the dress fade into the flames and stuff... I just need to work on things like this more often for practice.
Thanks again though!

Remember kids; always wear a mask when you go on horrific murder sprees. Keeps the face clean.

Greenphoenixking In reply to Fighting-for-Nothing [2011-04-07 11:54:42 +0000 UTC]

No, the Tyrant doesn't wear a mask. That's because he's bat-guano insane though, so he doesn't really care about blood on his face.

Uh huh. That's what they all say. He's just jelly because he's not as pretty as her, and he's trying to hide it with blood.

I have no idea why you said that but I am very creeped out because I was seriously watching something in the background where that was said AS I read this comment. >_>
