Sometimes

There's that rush of pain before you can strip that part of you away

and let go.




This started as a sketch and then I decided I liked it. Please pardon anatomical errors, but feel free to point them out.

Oh my goodness - so much shading and detail for each piece in there.. ! I really like how you incorporated flowers into the picture, kind of symbolizing growth? Her face is my favorite part; just seeing both sides of it gives me the chills (in a good way!) :) Spectacular job! :D

Thanks for that bit of advice. :) I was going for a light-dark effect, with lighter on top and darker at the bottom where the heaviest bit of destruction is going on, if that's any way of explanation.

Thank you so much! Yes, the flowers represent what is to come once you have moved past whatever is plaguing you...new growth, that sort of thing.

oh wow...this is gorgeous. the way you mixed the bones and muscle and skin...and the cut in the heart and the flowing what ever they are which remind me of french baroque filgerie. and the pose...just beautiful.

This is an especially beautiful piece because I think it speaks to everyone and whatever is plaguing them. Its very well done and lovely, the pose is very elegant and yet a bit frightening at the same time, I don't know how to describe it...
