Artist's Comments

Time, wish of the Sacrifice. || 30inch tall x something wide || watercolour

This is a new cover for ASPS Part 2 [link] and is the 4th addition to my series of paintings dedicated to high vocabulary words that start with s. Although sacrifice isn't really a high vocab word ... but you know it COULD be. The other three are Saternine, Sanguine, and Sanctify. I drew this idea in June, redrew in July, partially colored in photoshop in August, lost my file in August, transferred drawing to watercolour paper in September, painted in October, and am finally done after scanning it NINE TIMES. AT 400 DPI. (clap please) Note - if you hadn't figured it out yet, I title my serious deviations l i k e t h i s.

I might post another deviation later of detail shots.

Daily Deviation

Given 2004-10-26

S a c r i f i c e by ~blix-it is an incredibly whimsical piece. Boasting a somewhat dark illustration style aside a painterly abstract impressionist background that cries of early modern art. (Suggested by $damphyr and Featured by `mangapunksai)

Wow, this is just beautiful! I love the way the paint feels as though it is dripping off the page. Such beautiful grungy, soft colors, it all goes together so well. I love the movement in this, the circle shapes really help unify the image. You're very good at watercolor. I'm jealous. :shakefist:

... hehee........ the paint actually is dripping off the page. :P There was a time when I hated this ... so I started flicking paint at it. The pic was vertical so the paint dribbled. I hated it more. ... I flicked more paint.

Good eye damphyr. :love:

It really helped, it really adds to the wet, rainy, water rolling down things look. :D Just a great image all around.

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realize our perfection; through art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.
