What a breathtaking rendering of what divine inspiration feels like. Love your muse and treat her well, she will always be with you.
You know what my biggest wish is? For every artist to have a benefactor. To live to create from the soul, not from desperation for money. Sigh.......
I hope you are still tasting your freedom!

The detail and depth in this is incredible! Its hard to belive this is just pencil. Intersting concept as well the breathe being lit . I hate to say but , in color it woud be amazing to see the red glow inside the ear cartlage.

maybe you could photoshop it in and leave the rest greyscale. That way if you dont like you can remove it.

I developed a weird technique for coloring pencil drawings in Photoshop: [link] ; your idea is good enough that I might just put Inspirare through those paces--
and HEY, if all goes well, my sculpture starts this week!!!

gorgeous concept...i love all the small nuances/history behind a single word. just like a muse in mythology, perfect.

There are times in my life where nothing holds me as close and nourishes me as much as a pencil drawing; and it's nice when you've got deviants for models, too...

oddly i cant draw others at all but i can draw myself...not enough practice maybe or maybe i am too nervous in making others look bad =___= haha
so can i be a little nosy? do you only do portraiture for fun? or as a day job?

I've worked as a commercial artist, worked freelance, did paintings for a couple of galleries-- I just quit my full time permanent job, because it wasn't leaving me with enough time to paint, and I CAN'T live with someone else telling me when I need to wake up-- I'm the only one who knows when I've had enough sleep...
Scary days, pal-- This is my first month of freedom, and I could weep every day from pure happiness, but I am gonna have to start generating an income again...
