Description you cannot run away from the pain, because the pain is needed to create. It is happiness, it is sadness, it is an imprisonment, and it is freedom. As an artist, and a living person, one cannot do without either worlds, and thus we, as artists, must carry both burdens, in this place where reality and our own worlds meet....

Where did you find the quote that inspired you?? I'd like to repost it, but I'm not sure the author. Beautiful idea! Loving the blending of realities.

oh, it's been a REALLY long time, but I read something like this in an english class back in 2007/08, and then I'm pretty sure this quote was written by me around that thing I read in class @_@;;~

Hey, that's even better if you wrote the quote yourself! Love it just the same.

I'm, well projecting in all honesty. I totally understand. The line between my reality and the reality I live in isn't entirely defined, if at all. I've got to say the way you portrayed the idea (as I'm reading it) is brilliant. The graduation from the sky above and the brick below is well paced (if you take my meaning) and right at the middle we see the subject's face. It's really quite powerful for me.

Wow this is just stunning!

Can you please tell me how you painted the brick wall? Is that a gradient? And you just added details on top?

Qinni In reply to midknightBLU [2010-03-02 03:21:22 +0000 UTC]

no gradient tool this was done in Painter, and there's a colour mixer tool in there that's very useful, and that's how the gradient was created and details are added on top, yup~ and thanks ^^~

I love it, its got this early 1900's artistic feel to it with the subject matter, but with more traditional imagery.

very enjoyable

I LOVE this illustration. I like the words that go with it, too. it's so interesting how you scroll down and discover that the blue sky was just painted on...and the details in everything are great.

I really want to say something, but...
Well, I'm an 16-year-old ordinary Chinese boy, and I can't say 'something' in English.
So,我希望你能看懂中文。
看了之后感到很伤感,无端的伤感。如果不是这幅画很漂亮、很可爱的女孩,我恐怕要哭了。

I really like the composition of this piece. Your eye is drawn first to the balloon, and then drips down with the paint to the girl's eyes, then the street.

My only complaint might be that the bottom of the girl's dress seems too sheer. I don't like that you can see her legs through it. :/ Oh, well. Your choice, I guess.
