This is really cool.  I enjoy the sort of Iconic treatment with the halo/nimbus.  I also wonder if there's a Hermetic component with the blood trailing down and then appearing from above, in an "as above/so below" fashion.

Brilliant work.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful comment! I did reference liturgical imagery but your interpretation of the "as above/so below" is great. I'm not that well-versed in theology so thanks, I've learnt something new today.

I was about to quit, I don't know... I get very discouraged when my drawings show so little progress... I've been told quite a few times that I'm hopeless and that I should trying, but it's the only thing I'm passionate about

vegarden In reply to Gerralore [2012-09-15 03:03:35 +0000 UTC]

I'm always sad to hear people quitting art because they're told that they're hopeless. You are definitely not hopeless and you definitely should keep drawing. I thought I was hopeless at art before 18 but after I started working seriously on it I got better. You definitely will too, hard work always beats talent.

no problem at all. i absolutely adore the way you colour (it reminds me so much of klimt, one of my favorite artists) and the expressions in your pictures.
