Artist's Comments

:bulletgreen:Artist Comment:bulletgreen:

I just cannot work on this thing anymore. After working on it for about a week, my brain's just fried, but I'm very proud of how it turned out. :heart:

Anyways, introducing a new character, which I really shouldn't until I actually expand on the characters I've already introduced to you guys. That skeleton-looking thing is a Dream-Catcher Spirit named Laramie. That little girl is one of his proteges. See, Dream-catchers (in their little world) come into existence when a mother gives birthing. They are basically good spirits that are to protect a child's mind during 'sleepy time'. However, if the mother has twins or triplets, that means a Dream-catcher is split between the two of them, and if one of them should die... A half of the Dream-Catcher dies too.

That's pretty much what happened to Laramie. That is why he has the zombie-creature look going on at the moment.


ALSO: does anybody else see a black line when they look at this picture? Right above the girl, crossing across the picture? I don't see that in any of my files and I've reuploaded it two times and it is still there! o3o



:bulletred: Technical::bulletred:


Time to draw outlines on paper: 2 hours ('cause referencing skeletons/muscles and twisting them into a monster is fun when you only have a picture about the size of your palm).

Time in PS7: 8+ hours? At least? I don't really time myself. (Gawsh, so slow.)

People who helped me see stuff that was wrong: ~Narlax, ~DigiDayDreamer, =Teloka, =Amotu. (:heart: Thank you so much, you guys.)

Resources used: Brushes from *redheadstock([link]). Brushes from ~KeepWaiting ([link]).

I have the urge to go audition for an OCT at the moment....

Shoot! I'll just have to figure out what's making that stupid line stick there! |8< I shall figure this out!

And thank you very much! LARAMIE WOULD BE PLEASED (to know that he has a heart-emote to his account xD ). :heart:
:iconamotu:
This is beautiful, Dem, and you took my advice, I'm so happy!

Also, I see the line, but I had to look really close for it.

We're as stubborn as mules with our blood on fire when we're not at Sunday mass. We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say "Kiss my Irish ass."
:icondemonic-apricot:
<3 Of course I'd take your advice. XD

(I think it's the resolution. It only shows up on the 600px wide one, not on the 800px or 900px wide one). >__>;;

aksdnajksfk. Ahhh Mademoiselle Demmi this looks just so incredibly amazing. ;3; And I didn't know any of the story about it until now! But this has come out so very fantastic, ahhh, and all the bones just look sooo cooool @o@ I love the tiny details, too, like the little pattern on the back of her dress/shirt and all the knooks and bumps in the bones. @w@

oh, and I don't see any black line. o3o'

;3; Ahh... I have two dreamcatchers above my bed and I'm always looking out for more. I just love the things.

And thank you~:heart: I still have a lot to learn though before I can consider myself any good. XD
