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)

OKay I WAS going to start this comment off with a cliched excalmitory remark but that would rude an immature on my part.
This piece is amazinly well done. The stark contrast of the umbrellas and the water in and surrounding them provides a very bold hit of visual estheticism. Your color usage is equally as eye-pleasing and well thought out as the lineart.
This is an absolutely stunning picture.

Wow... sounds like this piece had a hard time getting out.
It's really nice work though. I'm glad to hear you changed it to watercolour instead, it would have a totally different feeling if it were digital (I reckon).
Lovin' the colour schemes and the background.
Great work!

A serious deviation indeed. :clap: Great effort. It paid off. You should submit it as a print.
