Description So I set myself a challenge, to see if I could, *gestures*, all with the ridiculous amount of detail. I shan't show you the image that I liked to much that I issued myself the challenge, because I didn't get all that close, and drove myself half mad in the bargain.

If you love me at all, please do fullview it. I'll love you for it. I'll send you cookies.

I put this in my favorites years ago. It always reminds me of Nerdanel and Feanor. Anyway, I linked it today on Tumblr. I hope it gets some new attention. It is a gorgeous, warm and wonderful picture, showing so much emotional. [link]

No need to send cookies to those who full-view this piece. The colors alone are amazing eye-candy, and the texture on top is better than cupcakes. Bravo on the blend of details and impressions in this piece.

I looked at this, and felt the dang emotion. It's overwhelming honestly haha
The emotions I get from this are desperation, sadness, pain, and loads of love. The way that they look into each others eyes show so much!
also, the orange is a lovely warm color! It's very pretty And compared to the male's gray and darkness, it's like light v dark. The girl living / lived a much happier life and the male always in the darkness. and then they find each other, til he....leaves? dies?
This is such an amazing piece of art work!

This makes me think of a story I read a long time ago about the sun searching for his fallen lover, the moon... but genders reversed. But wow, this is lovely... I like how there's so much potential for any kind of story and magic here

razimo In reply to Sorelliena [2011-02-02 06:10:34 +0000 UTC]

I have read that too... and I'd look it up to read it again if I could remember more about it! A fragment of mythology, anyway? Either way, thank you SO much! Because yes, exactly, that was the whole idea.. potential for a story. I love it when people tell me what my art reminds them of.

I was trying to look it up and found yaoi manga... O_O strange how our childhood memories change in the present...

8) Another story I think is of Neil Gaiman's Stardust... such a wonderful book...

The textures that you put in her hair just give her a breathtaking otherworldly look. And I love the attention you gave to the muscles in his forearm! I can feel the same thing the man must be feeling- that she is like a goddess to him. Like maybe that's what he sees when he sees his true love. This image is absolutely gorgeous!

I had to run FΓ«anor and Nerdanel past a Silmarillion-loving friend of mine; (I recognised 'FΓ«anor'), anyway, no - I don't think Nerdanel would be wearing the rather modern-looking skirt? But that's a much nicer guess than what I usually get! This is a pair of OCs.

Thsnks so much for the comment!

*fave'd* ... Tender expressions showing infinite mutual regard. And not just in their faces, though those are exquisite, but also in their reaching arms.

Anyone driving themselves to overcome the eternal gap between minds, as they're doing, can easily become "half mad." As you became in portraying them. It's the human condition β€” we put ourselves behind barriers.

I'd like to think that the rising lights are an allusion to their growing knowledge or affinity β€” or love. Whether they're meant that way or not, all I know is that this is sexier and more passionate than many couples shown "in the clinch."

XD Strange, but hey; not gonna knock what works.. especially considering how I still mutter over the parts that.. well.. need... to be muttered about!

I .. I don't know? If nothing else, I keep getting more and more stubborn, certainly, which - in the wash - comes out to 'more and more stubborn.' The detail in the background is .. I think the final count was four.. 4 different textures, and patient use of Photoshop masks so that they formed a background, and only overlaid the figures lightly / in shadow areas. One way as another; thank you very much! I'm glad you like it. It makes me happy that I banged my head against it for so long.

My goodness, that's a really fantastic comment - Thank you SO much!! - and even better for that you're seeing the spirit of what's happening. It's something I work hard on in my pieces, but in the end I often end up worrying that noone will actually get it but me. Yes, she has been gone, and he's very much 'frozen' in her absence.

Thanks again! I really, really appreciate it.

Oh razimo, this is sooooo beautiful.
The feeling of that picture... it's just... wow. Great. You gotta do more of that stuff.
It's so tender and sensual, his face is so beautifully melancholy and she shines like the sun.
It's gorgeaus.

razimo In reply to Laurynne [2009-11-17 02:03:57 +0000 UTC]

Good grief, you are waaay too sweet! I will have to hug you right back. There, that's better. This was hard, hard, haaaaaard in a lot of ways; trying to get the feel of it right was constant hair-pulling, but in the end I'm glad I did, because it's worth it when people tell me that the emotions come through - I just love that. Hope that doesn't sound egotistic or anything, *sheepish*, it just really makes me happy. There's a story here, I don't really tell the viewer what it is, but I always hope they wonder, or perhaps make something up for themselves.

Well, I ramble too much, sorry about that - but thank you SO much!

Oh I know, bringing facial expressions and feelings across is so damn hard *sigh* but that's the challenge I guess.
No it's not egoistic, everyone needs a little appreciation for the things they worked hard to accomplish.

You know, that picture fits perfectly to a book I'm reading at the moment. It's called Lady of Light and Shadows, a fantasy romance *blushes*.
