Description
day after day she waited,
her memories a muted haze

she could no longer recall her reasons,
the ingrained pain numbed only by time.

years and years and years passed,
only her heart's yearning was unceasing

all that she longed and longed and longed for
was never returning, forever hurting.

I wish we had an Illustrative category. Anyway, here's my attempt to continue the Forgotten Fairytales series (in vain). But I think it thoroughly spells my obsession with J.W. Waterhouse. ^^

Yes it was freezing cold when we did the shoot. I've a knack for torturing my models, we've established that by now.

This image is included in my new postcard book , it will be available for sale at the Singapore Toy Games and Comic Con next weekend. I'm sharing a booth at the Artist Alley with *noah-kh so do drop by if you can

Also~!! My new site is up~ drop by and take a look if you've some time and let me know what you think ^^ - zhangjingna.com


PS: I'm also heading to LA and NY next month, read more here .

I love the eye makeup, usually when it comes to pink on the eyes I get really iffy, but this is a great pink for the eyes.

i love the soft vintage feel to this one, she also reminded me somewhat of the Lady of Shallot, with the slightly pre-raphaelite feel to the composition.

-Very rarely do I find art on DA inspiring enough to want to own- excellent job. Reminds me of myself frankly; caught in a surreal daze of everything external. [link] -If you have any interest in provoked feelings this song suits this mood perfectly.

It seems as the the dress is a part of the water, as if she has just emerged and the dress is how the murky waters weemed to hang on her. The pale Beauty of her skin and her red hair are a perfect contrast to the stark colours in the backround, and they also harmonise well with the small flowers on the branches. The pose works suprisingly well, because although it looks almost rigid, it makes her seem as though she is a part of the water even more, as if she is trapped there, almost.

Ironically I favorite this photograph months ago but now i'm reading a book with a vampire named Lilith who very much likes hurting. She reminds me of the (evil) vampire in the book so I like her even more now.

Definitely one of my favorite images from you! It feels like a painting, perhaps because of the colors. But everything about this is just so exquisite. Is it possible to buy the "new postcard book" you talked about in the description online? Or was it something you were just making for the con?
