Description Spirit Goth. My favourite work so far. I just love it.

I've finally learned to work in really high-res so and I believe it shows in this piece. I'm getting faster, too.

Photoshop, 2 hours.

Amazing work…
The colour is so… strong…i don't find the words to express it in a better way.
Looking at this, I start feeling like using colours in the "written" examination in art this thursday though I definitely shouldn't do so^^
And by the way: "Gimme more SiD" really helped me to endure history lessons… smiling and humming all the time.

Wow, this is definitely the best piece of art I've seen in a LONG time. Totally one of my favs.
Any chance there's a larger version out there? I'd love to print this out and stick it on my wall. :3

Keep up the great art, and keep rocking hardcore. Can't wait for the next album!

Hey, thanks! I'm kinda weary about releasing hi-res art in case I'd ever have to protect my rights or what not... That version will have to do, sorry, hope you understand. Thanks again!!

Nice and cold... if I had to use just three words, which, I won't.

First, the framing; the white (reminds me of an icy desert) and the pale yet somehow incredibly sharp-and-soft-spectral-kind-of blue (I don't know the technical term for the color, okay? that fades to black - that gives it the spirit look; spirits swirling around her, because white is innocence, blue is neutrality (or chaos, depending on how Life is for one) and Black is Death.

The Red also is Life; because hey, it's near where her heart should be (if that's not her shoulder) so it's a cycle of Life and Death.

Her face bears many things, but let me simply say that it shows her awareness of the cold and the gone; Loss and Pain, simple yet enormous, bare-faced yet masqued.

Her hair (a reference, usually, to wit or mind) is all around, because that is what she is; cosmos in chaos, entropy without shift, borders with infinity and THAT is what makes her aware of HERSELF more (if we take into account the ''individualism'' that makes the once-Gothic social alignment much more different)

Wow. Beautifully done. Maybe the guys will let this be the new album cover? If not, we (at dA) can petition them until they give in to your demands, no matter how incredulous they seem.

Love, hugs, and SIDmetal...

Well, you definitely have your own style, Gaz. The fact you managed to pull it off in two hours is rather impressive. I just wish I knew how much was the photograph and how much was your work. Regardless, it's one of the most impressive works I've seen from you. Bravo and such.

nordlander In reply to SpeedD [2007-08-24 19:29:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Good photo helps, obviously. But I don't have a very good camera, so I'd like to think that my work in Photoshop is what makes the image great.

As I said before, I love the contrast thing you have going on .
Although, I gotta say you sometimes tend to blur stuff a bit too much and it doesn't looks all that balanced (opposed to the sharpness of the picture).
And yeah, I think it's good you're satisfied with your work, but you yourself know that you'll find this picture to be "not so awesome" in a couple of years, so striving for perfection is what it's all about I think.
Just like your evolving sound in the albums .

nordlander In reply to qtulu [2007-08-24 14:20:04 +0000 UTC]

True that. But every now and then you reach a plateau in your work, both musically and artwise, which makes you think "how am I ever gonna top this?" ... But in the end you always do anyway... I try to remember that, but...
