Persephoneby `dahlig

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Fantasy

Oh, paint the white of my wedding dress grieving black
For a widow I am, not a bride!
Mourning over my youth forever buried in the depths of these tombs,
As a flower dies without a sip of dew,
I wither away without the warm breath of my beloved sun.

****
Well, that's an outcome of a non stop few day work. I have decided, that I need to work a LOT on the anatomy and skin shading of my characters, and so I tried, in this one, to work the hardest I can on it.
I have done a lot of studies (mainly consisting of looking at myself in a mirror

), tries etc before even beginning to work on this.

I cannot, unfortunately, publish a full WIP of the work, as it's going to be published soon, but I am still sharing some sketches and closeups and a tiny tutorial

I have an obsession with Persephone (as can be inferred by my name XD) and I find this to be absolutely beautiful. It and the poem captures her very essence, I believe. I love all the light and dark symbology--it's perfect for Persephone!

Hm? Oh, sorry, my vital regions are already Prussian territory.
