Artist's Comments

This piece is part digital painting and part photo manipulation. Upper body (skin part) is my own stock which is painted over. For the dove head i used photo reference (for rest of dove used nothing) and painted it. Zeppelin is painted over illustration. All the rest is painted from scratch and mixed with some textures.
Tools: PS & Graphire4.

this is a character from not this world. She stands exactly on the line that crosses two sides. First is the world of livings and the other is the world of souls. She hears everything from the both side and she knows the truth. Black bird is the messenger from the livings and the bird in the cage is a messenger from the dead.

HOLY-MOLY .. DD :) Thank you all for your comments and support and special thanks goes to WilderWein77 for no good reason ;)

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-09-21

balcony by ~mnemakk is just so rich to look at, not only in the splendid use of colour, but also the subtle symbolism which is of Dalíesque measures. Every detail is a fascinating study, from the branches' shadows to the way the light hits every solid thing. This is definitely one deviant that must be watched. (Featured by `WilderWein77)

not so much.. though its a reference to atmosphere that's surrounding the place. Like for me zeppelins are very strange .. in a way that they look futuristic and old at the same time. So it means that BALCONY world has machines and crazy ass technology but it all looks very mechanical and rough.

But there could be lost souls in that zeppelin seeking for their own kind :)
