Artist's Comments

WARNING: Guys, I am starting to get really really mad. Just because this image is black-and-white, and I'm talking about colouring it eventually, doesn't mean I'm giving you a free-for-all invitation to try and alter it yourself. DO NOT TOUCH, this belongs to me, and if you alter it in ANY way you are breaching my copyright. I take breach of copyright seriously and WILL pursue you if I discover that you have altered my stuff.

Also, it's black and white. Deal with it - maybe I like this version for what it is. If you don't like an aspect - criticize it, I give you full and utter license to tear it apart! But trying to colour it yourself...trying to change the lighting etc is presumptuous and it is something I am well capable of doing myself.

(My Delight is in Her 2)

Pencil drawing retouched/revamped in paintshop. The original is in my scraps somewhere :) This began, actually, as a "quick" job so that I could make a tutorial in Elftown on colouring graphite pictures digitally. I ended up spending such a long time on it that I decided to make two tutorials instead :) So, if you want to see a step by step progression of how this was made, well, you'll need to go there :) and you'll need to find me first.

He just reminded me of Lucifer from Sandman, so I have named him.

This is excellent work, so very beautiful.

after seeing the original turn into this beautiful piece I've got to click that Fav button, its extraordinary how something so simple can become so exquisite with skilled use of the photoshop tools.

Really nice work

Fantastic! Though I don't think I'll ever be able to justify the purchase of a tablet, I'll read your tutorials anyway! :) The anatomy, the light, the ever interesting, always fresh view of traditional subjects. Once again delightful :) And i'm looking forward to that finished peice for [Perplexity], which should be (from the close-up on elftown), stunning. hope things are going splendidly for you!

p.s. if i was forced to critique this, which i hesitate to do, i would say i would say nothing at all. but after staring at for all the time it took to write my comment, i notice his oblique more than i notice anything else... which is a little distracting. anyway. if was anywhere near the artist you are i would feel justified in saying that. as it is, i'm just running my mouth... or fingers.

No feet!? OMG ;___;
The wings are gorgeous, and he looks so... Pure, wise... I dunno. Amazing job
:icongothika248:
Wow, Rochelle! I remember the original, and it was gorgeous, but the revamp takes it to a whole new level. I love the shadowing and highlighting, plus those wings are magnificent.
:iconjegal85:

Very nice! I like the perspective, and the lighting is done very well :#1:
The swirling things on his halo look like snakes, are they?
