Description

... which is basically how I feel whenever I find out techniques of how my favorite artists create their awesome artworks, haha. To be honest, that was exactly what originally inspired this piece, the idea of unmasking something you've considered so divine and it actually turning out to be heavenly for real. I'm not religious whatsoever but the idea seemed very fantastical to me so I tried to see if I could tell a story through the idea: to find out that the person you admire is, in fact, larger than life, and might as well live in the dream world.


From a technical standpoint I'm honestly pretty happy with how this one turned out, especially the shadows on her face.



20+ hours on Photoshop.

Thank you very much for your kind words, I appreciate it! I was trying to go for the more elegant look definitely, I've found drawing golden materials, jewellery, etc quite enjoyable!

And sure - is there any particular piece you'd like criticism on?

I'm not getting very good the concept(i'm a little stupid,i'm famous about that!xD)
but because you're talking about ''admiring your person'',''umasking'',''devine'',''god''et.c.
and that's reminds me and a bit of love,erotic love perhaps,
all of them,remind me the myth of Psyche and Eros.
Check if you want a little:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid_an…
And a little,the musical,that we were discussing about.
I don't know if you got the idea from there,the myth or anything else.
It 's spendid and magnificent!!

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out! Also haha you're right I might have taken some influence from the Phantom, a few times I caught myself comparing the pose to this scene: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOpbK… even though it's quite different.

Thank you for the kind words!

I'm never going to get used of THAT!Not because of Lon Chaney's ugliness,that's not bothering me at all!Strangely!
But because of the whole way of everyone's acting..but is a 20'movie so that's its way.
And i haven't see the movie well,so my opinion,it's not complete.And i was around 14 and now i'm 19.
it's one of the first adaptions of the Opera Ghost.And honestly,
one of the most similar,with the Book.So,RESPECT.
Thank you so much for that link!You made my night!THANK YOUΒ

Yeah, I really love this movie, I would recommend anyone to watch it! It takes a while to get used to the way people used to act in the 20s, but honestly I enjoy those movies a lot and after a while it doesn't even feel weird. And hey, you're welcome for the link!
