Description This piece is part digital painting and part photo manipulation. Upper body (skin part) is my own stock which is painted over. For the dove head i used photo reference (for rest of dove used nothing) and painted it. Zeppelin is painted over illustration. All the rest is painted from scratch and mixed with some textures.
Tools: PS & Graphire4.

this is a character from not this world. She stands exactly on the line that crosses two sides. First is the world of livings and the other is the world of souls. She hears everything from the both side and she knows the truth. Black bird is the messenger from the livings and the bird in the cage is a messenger from the dead.

HOLY-MOLY .. DD Thank you all for your comments and support and special thanks goes to WilderWein77 for no good reason

exact word where "hmmm, i don't know about those colors..really..hmmm" or something like that
but it's more matter of taste ..so to say.

i know how hard could sometimes be commenting. I myself usually just enjoy others art, but don't leave any note or mark that their work is appreciated. And in that way artist loose some energy they get from good vibes and feedback

So i appreciate every little word... thank you

wonderful pic
has the zeppelin a spezial meaning?

mnemakk In reply to Wespenfresser [2008-08-22 22:17:33 +0000 UTC]

not so much.. though its a reference to atmosphere that's surrounding the place. Like for me zeppelins are very strange .. in a way that they look futuristic and old at the same time. So it means that BALCONY world has machines and crazy ass technology but it all looks very mechanical and rough.

But there could be lost souls in that zeppelin seeking for their own kind

Wespenfresser In reply to mnemakk [2008-08-24 23:12:00 +0000 UTC]

I think the same about zepelinsXD
the zeppelin fits in very well~^^

poor souls...I'm not sure they will find them in the airXD
