Bloodroses: FULL VERSION

Won a Today's Best on Zazzle September 22, 2008 (second page, bottom row)
First Place in *GiZmO0o 's Fear of the Dark contest

Closeup of Roses of Blood - I liked this bit on its own, and I wanted to show a closeup on the details anyway.

Also - the print file gives better closeups, if the DA watermark is too obstructive.

Edit touched up the face and jewelry and included more of the figure. Also tweaked into a printable file.

Very Sandman and Neil Gaiman inspired (specifically, the Endless - Mostly Death, but also Dream, Destiny and Desire), but not actually OF them.

Some personal stuff in there - some emotional imagery, some pretty details that mean nothing.
The pain of caring and protecting something beautiful that feeds on you and hurts you. The paleness of being only a shadow compared to another's light and glory. The power of darkness and being unknown, and the restraint possessed and never seen.

And I just had a completely different idea for the background...

Anyway, the full picture's up to fours hours at the moment, this bit... was maybe two hours.
