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)

There's at least one hardcore layout problem though. Lets see if you can spot it. (find it! FIND IT!) .... and hey, I've never asked for a critique from you before, so if you want to critique it that would be great. XD Also, in light of a critique, why didn't you fav it? I'm not asking you to do so but what would make it 'that good'?

Uwaaa~! The umbrellas look briliant :clap I like how you did the water in them too. :D The shading on the clock & the little bits of orangeness look really cool, awesome deviation! ^o^.

This is a really beautiful piece. You've blended all the colors is really well done because everything blends with soft touches of color and shades of gray everywhere else. I absolutely love the way you did the water on the ground because it looks realistic and very pretty, especially the water spilling into certain umbrellas. The clock/light stand has some really nice small details to it, not to mention the details in the guy. Great work!
