speed painting with water colors is awesome, I agree. ^^ This is ink and brush, though. But that's just as nice a material to work with, I can promise that.

Thank you! Glad you like it.

Hmm, I might just do that. People seem to like this one a lot, maybe they'll like the other ones too ^^ They're a lot of fun to do too.

I have wander around in DA every day for two year just to collecting good art,. Sometime, I feel boring for look at perfect anatomy and shading, so if I see something... break the line, I will enjoy

Opps, forgot to give fav.

I really like it, it's really impressive ! I feel so much when I see this illustration, it really strokes me. Good job

Mystalia In reply to RubisFirenos [2011-06-06 14:26:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! That really means a lot, coming from an artist like yourself. I didn't really like it at first, but that faded when I looked at it a bit longer. I'm actually quite happy with it now ^^ And alot of people seem to like it too D: I'm a bit surprised.

Glad you could find the time to stop by!

It's great- leaves just enough for the imagination to work on. You should upload more!

Mystalia In reply to Tasyne [2011-06-06 12:27:48 +0000 UTC]

Which is what makes art beautiful, don't you think? If the viewer gets the chance to connect his or her own feelings to the piece. For every person another meaning, another way of seeing and remembering.

People seem to like this one, maybe I really should upload a few more speed works. I'm actually a bit surprised to see that people like this so much! It's such a quick work, afterall. I don't mind, of course X) But it's surprising.

Quite nicely done for a speedpaint...I love how drippy everything is . It adds a real sense of dark surrealism to the entire piece.

Thank you!

I love making ink run down a drawing! You're right, it adds so much to certain themes, of which sorrow is one. And it's fun to do as well. Creates kind of a scary atmosphere, don't you think?

TheGraphicAcademic In reply to Mystalia [2011-06-12 03:51:16 +0000 UTC]

Sure thing m'college!

It certainly does create a scary atmosphere! It makes me want to try it out as well, simply because this site doesn't have enough scary images .

Hylanvahr [2011-06-05 14:44:35 +0000 UTC]

I think I see your intent here. It's not about form, but the raw product of your sorrow. I have never seen a sad emotion depicted in such an esoteric way, and thus I find its uniqueness spellbinding.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mystalia In reply to Hylanvahr [2011-06-06 12:58:48 +0000 UTC]

Very true. Because sorrow does not come in the same ways for every human, so the art in this is actually to try and make other people see or feel it without sticking to a solid form. Whatever you might experience as something sorrowful, might not touch another person just as deeply. A better way to picture a feeling so intense, is probably to try and create an abstract collection of shapes that make people feel uneasy, so they might subconsciously link it to emotions that make them feel the same way when looking at it, in this case sorrow.

And thank you so much! I'm so glad a lot of people like it ^^ Makes it tempting to upload future speed-inks.

And I just felt the need to tell you that I find your way of choosing words an interesting one. I had never heard of the word esoteric before. Maybe because I'm not a native English speaker, but still.
