Description

Eyes do deceive. At a first glance, it's just a cute little angel girl holding a winged teddy bear... But why are the lilies bleeding? Is she evil? Or is she trapped in some sort of sad fate (hence the expression)? Perhaps this isn't as harmless as it might first appear.

But wait. What does it truly mean that eyes deceive? Is there some sort of happiness... some kind of hope or promise hidden behind the ominous imagery? ...As usual, I have no idea.

Wow, thank you for all the generous comments! I had to really struggle with this one when I started coloring it, so extra efforts went to creating this piece. I'm very glad you guys like it :)

Nice style you have here.Only thing I'll suggest is some harder sharper lines to define the dark and shadowed areas.

I think she is trapped in a cave with bleeding walls. Possibly forced to be someones queen, if that is a thrown she is on? I don't really know but its good.

Wow, those colors are very sweet. I like the fact those wings are actually well constructed too. Maybe the blood in the flowers looks too sharp. compared to the rest of the pic; maybe you can add some smudges to it.

Gorgeous work. The color scheme is really lovely soft yet "strong", works very well with the whole picture. :) The bleeding on the lilies is quite a nice touch that adds so much more to the mood. :) +7/7

augusto: mmm... maybe. I thought it helped the blood stand out, but I guess opinions differ. (But after reading what you said, the blood on the wall is looking too sharp to me! Argh!) Thanks for the critique.

yefferj: Thanks for the suggestion. I don't really agree with it though, I don't think the mood would be quite the same with sharp lines. I'll keep in mind for other pics. :)

kittykat: Haha thanks!

Andy: Ooh, that's an interesting idea about being forced to become someone's queen!

memorizing keiii! I don't know if sharp lines is the answer as much as I feel that more contrast in lighting my give it more emotion. Or just a more dynamic light source in general.

Keep up the great work. *anxiously awaiting keiii's next piece*

Nice work, It resembles Takashi Miike "Disturbingness" style somehow :o

Hi Keiiii,
Love it, absolutly beautiful. I really like the connection between the lillies and the wall. Of course she's trapped in a fate, sometimes sad. But isn't there always hope? Really quite moving. Another wonderful artist on this awsome site. Talk to ya soon

Lovely blending of good and evil, I suppose! ;) Nice colours this time as well, and I like the fact that this piece might have more than one meaning to it...

I kept looking at this piece for SOME time....although I dis- and agree with some critics, I think you did a great job in sending a message (as in: emotion / feeling). I like it as I like all of your work.

edit: she does not look at the bleeding lily, but gazes past it at something at her feet. She realizes something. The lilies suggest a lost loved one, but maybe she just lost herself. Angel wings suggest a lost tranquility or maybe something more like she lost her childhood which she tries to hold on to (the teddy). Oi...great pic...great pic.

I like your style very much. Thou I would put a bit more color contrast into this picture - kinda like the dramatic-way of drawing :)

Personally, some areas seem a bit too soft to me. Some areas are extremely detailed while some seem to have been neglected. I do really love the piece, though...just thought you might like a crit, too.

Beautiful! The soft colors add a nice "feel" to the piece. It's probably what I like the most about it ( and the pose! )
