Mothsby `dahlig

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Fantasy

This artwork was done for a "20 steps to extreme realism" workshop done for ImagineFX issue 40.
Nothing really too surprising about the concept - the point was to push the realism as far as I could.

Done in Photoshop CS. Video making-of can be seen on the issue 40's DVD.

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-12-13

Moths by `blackeri is a perfect blend of realism and fantasy. The amount of detail put into the moths is astonishing. The feeling of breaking out of your shell and metamorphosis, plays into this deviation. It's spectacular to look at! ( Suggested by ~Tihmily2007 and Featured by `archanN )

You have an amazing talent. Discovered your work a little while back, not long after you posted a few of the 'seven deadly sins' and fell in love with your style. You have an incredible sensitivity and eye for details, the expressions are very evocative, and in this one you have expertly painted the softness of the flesh, the texture of her hair, and the fragility of the moths wings...well mastered! Do keep creating and sharing your talent with the world.
