Description
So...2020. Not what I was expecting.
Past year my only worries was finally control my illness, overcome my own fears and finally break all those chains that over long 7 years I crafted.
And hey, I did! Or almost did.
But now all this situation... feels like all this its just a weird dream caused by the lots of Eggnog I enjoyed on New Years Eve and Im still sleeping under the christmas tree and Im going to wake up soon.
BUT THAT'S ENOUGH! I'm still can be grateful for lots on things, specially being safe with my family at home and the fact that my country is very calm, the number here is low, and I can keep myself busy with lots of things (Thanks to my dear clients.)
Following each year tradition, there's a Lain portrait with an important meaning for me. New aspect probably.If you have followed me, maybe you know what a Lain is. I do not consider her an ''OC'', Lain is a representation of my own Art, and is ''personality'' I created when I was barely 8 yro. Since then, she has been with me, growing slowly, changing, adapting to the madness I am by myself. She was through the same pains as myself, and you can saw her of past artworks, as here:

...Or here: (This day was awesome, my 2nd Daily Deviation)

If you like to read the blabblings of a young sensitive artist, you can read the descriptions, and also this one. I do most of this texts for myself, for remember each phase of my own self development.
So, this is just a portrait. A portraitist than is being portrayed.
Exactly. This is Lain with her true aspect. Finally I reached a good balance of her aspect that looks exactly as how she has to look: Like me.
Finally I accepted myself, finally I stopped thinking that I can't paint myself with my realistic features since I am not too pretty, not too perfect. Then I realized than that is what has making Lain to be... Well, Lain.
She is not a beautiful girl, she is not the perfect elves, sorceresses or goddesses she has portrayed. She is strong, she has been through lots of hard shit, she almost died, she cried over hours, she lost and found herself, she lost all of her friends, she needed to go on a deep journey for find herself again.
She is someone to be proud of. She is still fighting and learning, each day, step by step, that she can reach far away on her journey and be a light to guide and helps others, that, as her once, needed a light in the middle of the dark. She is still tender, fragile, and needs to go on slow pace, as a seed she grows slowly in the direction of the light. She decided that her mission is help others in order to not see other pass the same as she did.
2020 did an unexpected reverse, yes.
But finally, I understood the philosophy of the river's rock. Despite the fiery rhythm of the water around it, the rock keep cool, strong, awaiting for the waters to calm.

"What with the Owl and the Raven, Lain?"
Dmitriy (Owl) is a representation of my first Wacom Bamboo Touch, it has the name of my favorite Digital Artist that maked me to be... who I am today? Dmitry Tamplier Prozorov. He hates Noyan (Driver conflicts lol)
Noyan (The Raven) is a too big Raven inspired on my Huion Kamvas, black, too big, a bit silly sometimes, and with two colored eyes.
And the pencil well...I love Rose Quartz things and everything that shines. The end!
