Description First off, warning, large image! - download for full size and detail!

This took me several days, on and off. I haven't done wings from the backside angle before, but the second I saw this pose I had to do it. My only thoughts were 'you have the idea, and you know the stock, do it!' The glowing is inspired by the glowing symbol from the Endless Forest - but I wanted it to be glowing and bigger, but the idea definitely comes from here.

The name came from the fact I made the eyes white, and the surrounding dark.

This was an attempt to break my art block.. and it succeeded. And this was also made in Photoshop CS6 - Not too much different, but still a whole heap of fun! Theres some great new blurring tools, along with better cropping (and their HDR is better too!)

<3

edit; wow, 200 faves? You guys are fantastically awesome <3333

It's insane how much I love this. I'd never seen anything from a behind perspective. There's powerful movement and color/lighting, really beautiful.Β

I think it's gorgeous! It's almost like trying to take a picture of something rare or exotic and it moves just as u take the pic. Almost makes it real. I LOVE IT!!!

Thank you so much! <3 Your art is a big inspiration to me and it helped me to realise I needed to stop aiming for realism, and just go for what I enjoy doing and what looks relatively okay

Gee Nikkayla, you're gotten so good since I last saw you at a studio you and I worked at years ago.
That's a good thing...except for not seeing you...or well it's the Internet...so chatting with you. lol

<3 No worries haha... I'm a member on one but I rarely take requests. I tend to go try when I have art block... it seems to help!
How about you, you on anything?

The-Lumos In reply to Nikkayla [2012-07-29 20:22:55 +0000 UTC]

Not really. I'd like to but it seems like every studio I get on goes inactive rather quickly. What's the one you're on? Beyond that, I do commissions through Cimoron Island 2 and that's about it. I don't do rpgs like I used to. I do a human life rpg as well.
