Description
This was initially intended to be in the 'human form' category, but turned out to look more like fantasy. I tried to include more of the figure's body than usual.Incase it seems strange that she's not facing the light peeking through the crack, it's because she's blind; she can only sense its warmth. This image has a metaphorical representation to it, but I can't articulate it properly at the moment. And my poetry has an ugly stench. Maybe it's better not to say the message, so you'll come up with your own interpretation.

WOW!!!
Very Very Cool!!!
And very labourous. This style, your earlier style, I can see why it must've taken you a large amount of time.........
Is this why you've chosen to alter your 'new' style, to fit in with the demands of the illustration industry???

It's sort of sad, and anti-climatic isnt it? She'll search to get out of the cave and into the sun but then, uh, she couldn't see it.
Very lovely, I adore the detail.

'Tis sad, indeed. It's strange I hate sad endings in novels, but I don't mind sad images. Probably because images aren't final and have the potential to become stories and therefore change.

Thank you. I drew everything else first and left the face till last. By the time I got to the face I was too lazy to shade it properly. Though, the clothing was fun to render.

Awesome picture! I really like it and can relate to it. While I'm not blind, it kind of represents how I'm feeliing right now.

That anyone feels they can relate to this, tells me I haven't wasted my time. Most of the features in the picture have two-sided aspects or meanings, such as the blindness. I hope you feel better. Perseverence.

To produce art is never a waste of time, it just has a higher value when someone else can relate to it. It's just perserverance that seems to be a waste of time right now. It's taking to much energy and I'm left feeling like I'm on a one-way ride to loserville. Ah life!

This is a very powerful and wonderful image. It is a tad unbalanced because of the exposed lighter areas on the right side and the more twisted form of plants on the left. I almost smacked myself when I saw this because I did a image similar and mine cannot quite compare ~drools~...The only thing I could wonder is if the plants are thorny...shouldn't her bare skin be torn a bit? Overall a gorgeous picture!

The empty space on the right side is intentional. I'm not so sure why, it's probably a subconcious thing while I was drawing this, for some reason not wanting to disturb that space much at all. Yeah, there are a few thorns on the tendrils, but I didn't want thorns to mutilate her, just kind of hold her back from what she's seeking. For example, bad influences coaxing a person from exposing goodness. Plus, she's already blinded, I thought I'd cut her some slack on the sufferage threshold.
I'd like to see your drawing. Is it in your gallery on devinatart?

Ah, I see, I could have guessed that the blankness on the right was intentional, actually it does help because if you added too much then you would pull attention from the girl. As for my picture it isn't in my gallery, I wanted to cg it before I put it there. ~smiles~ But it could not in anyway compare to yours.

I don't know what 'cg' means. 'Computer generate' is my wild guess. I'm wrong, aren't I?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I looked up "cg" for sure and it means computer graphics, so basically I would color the picture on the computer using probably Photoshop 7. ~sighs~ But I have gotten a tad lazy as of late ^-^;; heh

im of course very impressed coz i cant or do not have the patience at the moment to sit down & do detailed stuff .... lovely drawing ....
ACE_:maybe put slight colour into it _ it might add a lot .... not sure if the reflection ( i guess at the bottom of the image there is water) on the water ....maybe have something on the right side of the image to balance it out_seems unbalanced to me __not sure ....

I'm glad you said 'drawing' and not 'sketch'. It's okay, the right side is supposed to be plain space, even though it seems a bit imbalanced. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure if the dress turns to water or just slips down the stone steps and simply has a resemblance to water, so I didn't put reflections in it. Thank you for the helpful tips.
