Artist's Comments

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 ;P), 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 :)

It's very beautiful... the detail and the shading. The one foot looks a bitoff but not noticable. :clap:

This is very beautiful - you have done especially well on the texture of the dress. And the skin tones are very nice on the legs and arms. Well done.

Just because it is impossible now - doesn't mean it always will be.

Oh, and I have a question - the lace border on teh dress is so intricate - do you draw it out all by hand or make a brush or what...?
