Description (ooop, forgot to post this here! A sort of introduction to something I have been working on in my free time. I don't want to say more than that since talk, as they say, is cheap! )


An introduction.

~
As the coils of the snake are written into the folding and crossing lines of sand, their end and their beginning neither to be known, as are our lives. And as the wind blows and sweeps the snake's path clean, the story is forgotten and at last told anew.

..though, never the same way again.

Thank you for such a very lovely comment. If creation is akin to breathing for you..if you feel trapped unless you are creating and feel like you are flying when you do create, never stop! Don't ever feel disheartened if you see art you feel is better than yours. Never feel like you can't reach that level because you can. You just have to want it and never stop wanting it. But don't do it to be better than someone. Don't do it for anyone else but yourself. It's not a contest..it's an experience and a lifelong journey C=. Dream and you will soar!

Cool! I'm also keeping something I've been working on in the dark, I just think it adds to how interesting the comic is!
I'm excited for whatever you have in store for us!

ErrorJones [2012-02-29 21:04:29 +0000 UTC]

Wow, this looks really stunning! Really impressive lighting, except for the glow around the title. I would choose a smaller glow radius there, because it looks a bit washed and photoshopped that way. But otherwise - awesome!!!

balaa In reply to ErrorJones [2012-02-29 21:06:15 +0000 UTC]

Wow.

I love how... minimalist (?) this feels. I can see detail, but its painterly detail. Its just enough to keep me interested, but its not over-powerful.

Lovely!
