Artist's Comments
Based on the novel The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. This is the color version of the greyscale painting I posted a week or so ago.
Made the ash flakes a bit smaller all around, and of course it's got some color now. It's a similar color scheme to the one I used for this older image from the same series. Basically I went over the greyscale Layers with a layer of flat color (set to Multiply) over the top, and then threw in a couple overlaying Layers to set the light. Total chop-job. And I opened her eyes up. That went back and forth for a while, I like both versions for different reasons. This is true of the whole color/grey thing in general. Let me know which version you prefer. 1600x2400@400, illustrated in PS CS2 on the Cintiq 21UX, putting in color added maybe an hour, hour and a half to the time for a total of around 5-6 hours. |

 reports, 1d 19h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

The longest journeys are the ones where one fears the destination.
In art and in life, what is not portrayed can be as vital as what is.
I believe in Jesus Christ my Saviour. If you do too, copy and paste this into your signature.
