DETAILS: [link]

I won't bother to explain this one. I hope that you can interpret it on your own :)

I was looking everywhere for inspiration since I was on a creative slump and I found some! Thanks to *faestock for the major art boost. And of course, part of this piece was inspired by =sheispretty's works. I was browsing her gallery.

The piece is pretty big, 3500x3500px, 300 dpi. Around 6-8 hours. The usual: Photoshop CS2 and mouse.

I tried to paint curly/wavy hair. It turned out weird, oh well.

Great resources:

If you've devwatched me for a while, you should see a trend =p Whenever I declare that I'm a hiatus, I seem to more art out. Oddness.

I know that the piece doesn't have that many elements but I hope that you look very closely. I've put a lot of thoughts into this one, even though some of them had no directions in the beginning.

this is absolutely AMAZING! i love what you did with the heart-shaped diamond. it looks as though the woman's soul is fighting the evil that are the vines. this is very impressive. i don't know why the hell you haven't been featured in a daily deviations spot yet.

:thumbsup: once again, your work is outstanding and i certainly hope that you will be recognized in the business world for your talent.

Don't feed it too much and make sure the water environment is right (oxygen, salinity, etc.).
