Description We're hurrying through the days,
Always going somewhere
In a rush to get doing something else
And all that is left for us
is No Time
____

I thought I wouldn't have done this pic yet, though I've had the idea for this for a while. The title "No Time" of course inspired me to do a pic of Arcaillax, the Protector of the Phoenix Clock, thus the title doesn't really have anything in common with her. If there's something that Arcaillax has, it's time... It's more just symbolism, the
clock/locket symboling time, and the white phoenix bird symboling hope and light. There's hope that someday we all would have time, time for our loved ones, time for the things we enjoy, and most important, time for ourselves.
The spacy background... It's just because if thinking about a place where time doesn't matter, it's probably space.
Space is old, everything comes and goes, has their time until their time comes to it's end (and, I just love all kind of space-pics, but I've never done one myself). Another choice for the background could have been a black hole, which definetely DOESN'T 'have time'... But it's a bit tricky to start drawing a black hole.

But why I decided to do this now, anyway? I've felt absolutely worthless after screwing up my entrance exams for one school, and those works we had to do weren't even hard to be done! I felt so useless and I hated myself because of it, so I decided to show the world I CAN do something... Or more than to show the world, I wanted to show myself that I can... I tried to prove myself I'm not just a failurer... And I really hope I'm not... Thus, Arc's legs and wings look like crap.
Even if I would have failed those exams, there's always tomorrow, and tomorrow brings new chances for every of us. It brings new chances for me, too, and I won't give up yet

PS CS 3 and Aiptek Slim tablet
Time: Too much (Maybe over 25h?)
Amount of layers: 35
Original pic size: 1120x1670

Arcaillax & art (c)


Note: I changed my phoenixes' desings a bit by adding fluffy-looking decorative tail feathers for them, instead of
those plain strings with the feathery end in them. From the start those feathers were supposed to do to look like that,
but I thought they would be hard to do, unless I HAD to do something like that in my art trade work for Konsi. As
Charisma has two fluffy decorative feathers in her crest, I had a chance to notice that they're not so hard to do after all

-And it seems that Arcaillax started taking karate-lesson or something... *Jumpkick!*-

I love the details you put into your feathers... I can tell you've studied real birds and feather structure, because it all looks real. And I think her feet and wings look fine--in the case of the wings, the back one may be a tad small, but I think I can pass it off as exaggerated foreshortening.

And in the case of those exams, keep up your hard work. If it's art school you're going to, with this talent I'm sure you'll be accepted. They'd have to be really dense not to see your talent and potential.

Seriously, beautiful job. I love those details, and the fuzzy focus on the foreground feathers. Nice effect~

It looks like a corporeal entity composed of white cosmic fire from the center of a star, with a lot of polishing to bring out such exquisite detail. I love how each color enhances the others, the contours of the feathers are incredible, and I love the fire and background.

Epic Phoenix is Epic. Like, seriously, this is so damn good that it blows me away.

I am jealous of your skills. >_<

It's so detailed, nothing seems to be lacking. The tailfeathers look very neat, the way they curl up at the bottom. I'd say that's the coolest part of this.

Cockatoo [2009-07-30 08:30:43 +0000 UTC]

Waat, enkö ma ole kommentoinut tätä!? Korjataan asia.

Joo siis on tämä ihan mieletön. En taatusti saa sanottua mitään rakentavaa, mitä ei olisi jo sanottukin, tyydyn vain hekuttamaan 8D Ihanan yksityiskohtaista jälkeä olet saanut aikaan. Väritys näyttää mielettömän tarkalta jokaisessa sulassa ja höytyvässä, aikaa ja vaivaa on selvästi nähty ja se on hienoa. Kadehdin niitä jotka pystyvät jättämään tekeleensä huomiselle ja jatkamaan siitä, mun täytyy saada kaikki hetinyt valmiiksi, mutta ei vaan jaksa istua sitä viittäkään tuntia väkäämässä yhtä kuvaa, ja se toki näkyy lopputuloksessa.
Tipun asento on hieno ja erikoinen ja hyvin olet siinä onnistunut. Taustakin on komia, vaikka nuo liekit näyttävät jotenkin irrallisilta. Tuo nokasta tuleva lieska onkin sitten jo parempi .

Joo, ei voi muuta kuin ihastella!

Kiitoksia kiitoksia paljon tuosta kommentista! ^^ Oli päivän piristys, kieltämättä

Tuosta töiden teon jatkamisesta... Ehkä se vaatii vaan sen verran hermoja, että malttaa repiä ittensä työn äärestä, tosin kieltämättä joskus itsestäkin tuntuu siltä, että työ jonka kerkesi aloittaa ei enää myöhemmin näytäkkään hyvältä ja sitä ei jaksais jatkaa enää... Mutta ite oon niin hidas tekemään mitään, että jos en jatkaisi noita töitä myöhemmin, saattasin joutua istumaan päiväkaupalla putkeen yhden kuvan edessä... >.<'

Mutta tosissaan, kiitos vielä kerran tällaisesta pidemmästä kommasta! Näitä on aina kiva lueskella ^.^
