Description Love Poition No 9
Photoshop; about 5 hours
made for Digital Birthday Contest: Love Potion #9

--

Stock Bleeding? by ~nejfi-stock

--

so, this is actually my first vexel/vector that is not part of a collab

when i read "Love Poition No 9" i immediately had the idea of showing the actual potion dripping from a beautiful mouth

AND i also wanted to use a different style of vector layers on this deviation, more rough and painty. i think there are tons of layers and only like 4 of them have 100% transparency

about the actual content?
well, she looks like she took a deep sip of the potion, she really seems to need it desperately
maybe there was some of my sub-consciousness involved
or maybe she took too much of it, and this is the stuff that is coming up again...
i don't know, make up your own mind ^^"

hope you like it

This is stunning and sort of freaky. The contrast between beauty and the greed that's implied by the spilling potion is excellent. The green sparkles suggest that the potion may not be as pleasant to drink as it is to look at. The girl's inaction also suggests that something is not exactly right. There's a darker magic beyond the immediate attraction here, I think.

The picture plays with my mind really well. At first it just looks pretty and well made, but when I begin to think about it, I realise that there's an implicit darkness - almost evil - to it. I think that reflects a truth in life.

wow, cool that you see it like that
...cos that's what my intention was... to make it mor like a dangerous potion

at first i wanted to make more of a dead body with the potion dripping from the lips

the potion better be drunk with care

thank you

I think this is better than a dead body would've been. The contrast gives it emphasis.

I would love it so much more if the love potion was a different color. I get sick just looking at it. It reminds me of pepto-bismol. Ah, I'm sorry.

*It's a beautiful picture, please don't get me wrong! It's just the potion itself is... well, I'm never using that love potion. X.x She must be spitting it up because it tastes awful.

Lucky you! You got such a good critique!

pica-ae In reply to TheAuroraBeam [2009-08-05 18:11:28 +0000 UTC]

mmh... never heard of that pepto-bismol
but actually it is supposed to look unhealthy, the only other option would have been green, which probably wouldnt be much better
first i wanted to use a picture wit something lying on the ground and the juice dripping out of the mouth like blood

anyway, i wanted to use pink, cos it's a "love"-color

Good, and may you never hear of it again. xD
Mmm, that is a good idea. (~it tasted so awful they fainted? xD)
I think pink was a good color choice, just that particular shade, and viscosity... >.<
Oh, and the sparkles are a lovely touch! ^_^

well... i thought of dying actually, like they took too much of the potion cos they were all greedy and too demanding
like in a fairy tale

I can't believe you got this much detail using just the Photoshop pen tool, it must have gotten very repetitive, nice job anyway.
