I've been putting off uploading this painting for a long time now because I didn't think the camera could do it justice compared to the experience of standing in front of it, surrounded by a dark murky wood frame. The arrival of this contest seemed like a perfect time to upload and submit this piece.
I want to dedicate this to my long-time friends and art mentors. I've come this far because of you and I will continue going farther because of all you've taught me.
Ooh, this looks so fancy :U I like the black and white color palette, with the contrast of the blue thrown in to draw attention. Looks really nice, and I'm rather fond of the various textures on it as well. C:
Thanks! The different brush sizes REALLY helped a lot with the textures. <8U Haha, this a color scheme I've been known to abuse. I just love how relaxing yet almost off-putting it is.
