Description "I come from near and far, in time and space; from without and within"

Contest entry for ~C-C-Corone
Main theme: Darkness
Category: Animals
Character: Nyx, the sky ruler

I'm actually pretty proud of this Oo I've tried out a different way of reminding myself about the wind or light directions, so I hope I managed to avoid dumb flaws... Dunno what more should I say, I'm a little sleepy D8

Edit - Tampered with the contrast a bit, added more details, bigger size available for download

wielki FAV za deszcz, zwłaszcza ten spływający z drzewa i skały no i za wyjaśnienie miejsc gdzie pada. Efekt jest zapierający dech

Skała odrobine zepsuta ale pozatym świetna praca
Podoba mi się ten klimat i efekt "swiecącego" się na niebiesko konia.
Mi zawsze brakuje cierpliwości do takich dokładnych pracy

KathyKnodoff In reply to Fonika [2009-09-22 18:57:35 +0000 UTC]

Cóż, pieprzenie skał to moja specjalność... Jedyny plus że wiem mniej więcej co zrobiłam źle
Dziękuję. =]
No cóż, ale jak widać i tak nie dociągnę czegoś do końca |:

Tak naprawdę wszystko co tu widzisz to 98% pracy, wertowania deva szukając nowych technik, nerwów, przekleństw i wyrwanych włosów ^.- Talent to jakieś 2% z tego... Gdybyś widziała moje prace jeszcze sprzed pół roku, nie powiedziałabyś że to ja robiłam
