Description
Edit (14th April 2011): Moved to scraps.... when you close your eyes?"
Here' s Galáxia again, I had forgotten how much I loved drawing her. You can tell I love doing close-ups on her.
Trying something a little different. I really am not sure if I like it or not, I look at it and love the message but there are so many things I wish I could change about this.
The thing behind Galáxia is meant to be some sort of galaxy but it looks more like fire than anything else, I wish I had blend the colors better but I kind of rushed the background.
I was also playing around with the shadows and highlights, I like the contrast between the two sides of her head, although it's much more noticeable on the paper. My scanner totally ruined this one, I was so happy that my previous works weren't getting the ESS(Evil Scanner Syndrome) and now this one got completely assassinated! I wish you guys could see the original, it's so much better.
So yeah, I've seen the quote 'Do stars still shine when you close your eyes?' a lot lately and I thought it'd be perfect for Galáxia, she's the ruler of the universe and stuff. I guess they do still shine, uh?
Learned lesson: Drawing equines with closed eyes is harder than opened eyed ones.
Galáxia is © to me.

Soooo awesome. Great work on the spiral galaxy; I can't draw galaxies for crap!

Wow, this is gorgeous! I personally love the galaxy behind her, since there are pictures of galaxies that look like fire. The universe and space are sooo amazing... You've really managed to capture that!

Thank you so much Henna!

You are so welcome I can't stand using references either, but I might need to start looking a bit more to see if I can get better at the anatomy. By the way when I draw from references I always say it in description of the drawing
