Description Edit: I'm fed up with rips off. Watermark, copyright, lower resolution... I'm sorry. Please note that the print version is beautiful and has anything on the image itself!

Some days ago ~Amalthee talked about the upcoming Nightwish album on my forum. It reminded me how much Nightwish's music has influenced me, in many domains. This image is a kind of tribute to Nightwish and to one of their best song, "Passion and the Opera". I also wanted to work on ~ladymorgana 's face, for I have always thought that she has a gorgeous and noble face, as though she had be a queen in another life. Concerning the background, it's a stock from ~antipodean-stock which I adore, because it looks very similar to a nightmare I made long ago. The star brushes come from *aleksandra and ~ trulysarah . The rays of light are made with Photoshop and no brush.
This deviation reminds me of *nightfaery 's graphic universe, which I really worship and respect.

Once upon a century...

Thank you! ^^ The small prints aren't that expensive I think... Maybe I will be doing sales on my prints soon...

Simply breathtaking
I love Nightwish and your piece is a wonderful tribute indeed!
I really like your use of the grand hall and how you placed Tarja within the shadows.
It reminds me so much of The Phantom of the Opera! So much emotion
Beautiful and I love the black and white aspect ^___^

I'm sorry this keeps happening to you. It's a shame there's people out there that think this sort of behaviour is ok. Keep up the good work anyway.

wow.. oui c'est vrai les couleurs rappellent beaucoup l'univers d'Ebenzeer ^^, en tout cas cette dé viation est aussi belle que bien travaillée. j'adore les rayons de lumière dans le fond (qui amènent cette étrange oxymore, toujours, de lumière et d'obscurité..), j'aime la composition, la manière dont Lady Morganna (pas mal le sourcil droit ^^) est rattachée à cette église (superbe le plafond, on dirait qu'il est fait de givre ). Bref, tout cela pour dire.. :un grand +favlove:

Awww, merci kReEsTaL de parler de moi comme cela...

Effectivement, Morgana est si belle, je trouve que dans cette déviation, elle a un petit côté elfique , surtout avec les petites étoiles que tu as ajouté autour d'elle et qui la rendent irréelle...

Félicitations !

thurisaz In reply to ??? [2004-02-09 16:20:16 +0000 UTC]

Wow...

The title itself is great, and I found my Nightwish cd just to hear while looking at this hehe. Her face is really the one of a queen yes, and the way you play with blending and brushing here is really really good. The background with the glass-like colonnade makes it for me even more dreamy, like the opera of another dimension where only passion and divine voices exists.
