Extra thanks to Knight (You know who you are!) and the lovely Luna-ish for encouraging me via the stream. Knight took photos for me for references <:

A narcissist is not something you want to be =/

I never did think so, but I never knew how to change how people perceived me or if I should even care how they see me.
I might carry this image around for a while and finally answer that question once and for all.
"When you see me, what do you see?"

Narcissistic people are very nasty cold, cruel people who use people for their gain. And belittle other people’s experiences

No I am not Narcissistic: I believe I am more of a deflector of that particular ego, constantly seeking to keep above 'belittling,' voices that would suggest less than what hard work deserves.
There is a fine line though, that I walk, seeking not to look anywhere but forward. Made to feel bad for those trapped in their dreams never materialized.

DAW is how I feel about this softness and color palette
I myself am a bird

This is very nice. ^_^ Love how her hair's done up to get her tears in focus (cause they love to be seen).

Thank you!

Noo! .-. I see the skull but the hair looks like it's on top like it should be.
And I argue that she shouldn't be squalling about that bird. She's probably the one who killed it. Narcissists hate sharing the spotlight.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm glad it looks okay :3 she definitely did kill it. Her dress is feathers, jeweller are the bones. She catches them, pretends to feel pain as she kills them and then wears them.
All the metaphor of narcissists. They'll cry crocodile tears but enjoy you squirming and then baths in the fact that no one believes the real victims.

Yep!
Like I said before, you did a great job with this. ^^ And you've shown all this very well.

have you ever thought about making a tarot deck? c: i think you'd be good at it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds like a lot of work! I'm sure it would be worth the effort though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dude man you could sell the crap out of a deck though :'D your style would seriously sell tons ; A ;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure lol, my art isn't popular or anything and I'm fairly standard in skill
*sigh*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i think you're being super modest c': every piece you make is seriously gorgeous and great quality <3
no pressure of course to do a tarot deck- it was just an idea that suits your images and quality of work c': <3

I'm sure it'll look good, and I'll definitely put it in my to do list. Buuuuut I don't think my art is no where near the level of popularity or interest to generate money ._.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmmm~ ok ! :'D
maybe one day then XD <333
if you ever do decide to do it though- i would suggest putting a big ol ugly watermark on any card you upload to the internet- so that people dont steal them from you > . <
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hah, i don't mind that do much. I don't mind people sharing my art as long as they link back to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i just worry that some butt cheek would download your cards and sell them off as their own > . <
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've yet to have that, and i don't put the full res on da. 1000 PX would be poop at a4, a3, a2.
I paint at a3-a2, so i can get my art on my society6 site :3

I can't stress how much I love the mat look to your drawings, it's madding to the point when I see it I get such a wonderful feeling of satisfaction
I hope this wasn't weird haha.

Not weird but I'm not sure how I achieve it lol C: its just something that happens? D:

I wish I could do that haha!!

I think it must be my brush? I'll try with a regular round one and see how that works out

Oh yes! Please let me know then

Fantastic. It was great to see this piece slowly come together.
Love the colours and the details, I normally don't like dark themes but this is a great picture.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nice one! I love the dark, brown tones used. I don't see that often. Well executed
I may or may not have to buy a print on S6 lol. It would be an interesting conversation starter
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! The oil slick was kind of a pain to get. The greens and blues that are like, lightly around and in the dress and hair and bird.

Your welcome
Oh, cool, I didn't know thats what you called that. I see what you mean though. Now that I'm really looking at it, it really does seem like a complex color! I can see how it could of been difficult!
Definitely plan to

I think thats the name of black with rainbows right? C: I had to do a rainbow gradient, apply a filter to dull it down, then blending options to make it visible on some sections. Then dropped the opacity and used the eraser to hide some of it. Probably could have painted it in and it would have taken the same amount of time!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol very true, I never thought of that 
Oh wow thats a different way to color something! Haha maybe, but it may not have come out the same. I figure you had more fine control over it the way you did it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its not my usual way, but if I want to make changes to something without masking I'll go to blending options and then at the bottom on the first page is a drag box, play around with that, it basically means if the layers underneath are light (or dark, depending on which way you drag) it will hide the information on that layer.
For things like hair, which is annoying and lots of tiny lines, but you want to change it to another colour or add a highlight, it makes it much quicker and easier.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh so with blending options, you use the selected layer to allow certain information through from the layers under it? That is interesting. I didn't know about that before!
Oh yeah I never thought about that! I can imagine! From everything I have ever heard when it comes to art and graphics design, hair is the anti-christ lol.

Heres the video if you want to download it, I made one for you:
MP4 No Preview
Or a gif, though its like 5 frames a second so idk if you can even tell what I'm doing well. Well.. apparently I can't link it. wtf.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks 
Thats weird. The video was prolly the best option anyway as I'm not familiar with some of the layout on modern photoshop. Thanks again!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thats okay! Do you use Photoshop? D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did, but I had an old copy of photoshop CS and when I upgraded to Mac OS 10.11 it won't run anymore
