I'm not afraid of being alone~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Usually people put their daily deviation thanks and comments at the bottom... but I'm gonna do that right here. Big thanks to $Moonbeam13 for featuring it and being so considerate to me
Painting is such fun! This was done in around twenty hours (I think) over the course of a week. I used no references, which I am rather proud of. This concept was not carefully planned or slowly executed, unlike many of my other paintings, but I love how it turned out. This is one of those images that I think very well embodies my personal style and creative inclinations. I'd like to point out that this one is heavily inspired by *Sugarock99 , as well.
If you'd like to see the original sketch, it's here: [link]
Anyway, this is done in acrylic paint on canvas, 22x28 inches, and I used a matte medium and a matte varnish, as well. Mediums are like heaven...
© to myself, please don't redistribute it, but feel free to use it personally.
If you have any ideas as to which category this rightfully belongs in, please correct me!
And, as always, comments and critiques are totally sweet.
As a last note, her proportions may appear unrealistic, but I think it's a combination of illusions, as I did an anatomical sketch before I began.
I know I said that was a last note, but I also need to apologize for the grainy photo. Sorry.

This is probably my favourite of your works. Very emotive piece, and beautifully executed. Worth a fave!

The underwater effect is really cool. Sort of has a creepyness to it but I like that. Well done.

Thank you so much! It's really great when people pay attention to concepts, and not just execution .

I also sculpt a bit and I do photography for fun. I dunno if set design for theatre counts as art, too.
I'm often told how crazy I am .

Wow skar, you've improved it from the sketch! Proportion is totally spot on if you ask me
and, it is under water, so things should look like wavery... and the graininess of the photo adds to it's artistic look ^_^
you're a very talented painter

Thanks. I'm glad the graininess doesn't detract too much..
And thank you for the complement, they help me keep going .
