Description I think I ended up making this a bit more macabre than I'd originally intended (in fact I almost entered this on the 'macabre' category instead of 'fantasy', but hey, it's all good. Besides, the whole concept of this contest was 'impaired', as in the trouble that so many people have in the world, and that's just not a sparkly, pretty idea to me.

I think you really caught the idea of impairment in your picture, it looks fantastic. Love the dark atmosphere and tension in the picture

Thanks, that's what I was going for. Don't think I quite got it but improvement (even slow) improvement is what it's all about.

I really like the darker feeling that you took with this piece. As you said, being impaired is very often not pretty, and you've really created a nice reminder of that. Good luck with the contest.

A lot of the ones I'd seen were shiny and pretty so I felt I needed to do something darker since impairment is anything but. Wish I'd had the talent to make it shine through a bit more but I like the mood that came out and am very happy that you did too ^_^

Understandable. You did do well with the coloring, and got an honorable mention if I remember correctly. Nothing to sneeze at considering the number of entries.

It is a little dark, but I wouldn't put it in 'macabre' either. Great job on this! I really like how you did the glass shards.
