    Default Behold! The Night Mare


    Can't promise I'll finish for the deadline (unless the lovely Icon sees fit to grant us more time!) but here's an initial sketch, trying to use what i've learned from a recent Sargent copy about edges. Based on the song Behold! The Night Mare by Samshing Pumpkins:

    I've faced the fathoms in your deep
    Withstood the suitors quiet siege
    Pulled down the heavens just to please you
    Appease you
    The wind blows and I know

    I can't go on, digging roses from your grave
    To linger on, beyond the beyond
    Where the willows weep
    And whirlpools sleep, you'll find me
    The coarse tide reflects sky

    And the night mare rides on, and the night mare rides on
    With a december black psalm
    And the night mare rides on
    What I fear is lost here
    The wind blows and I know

    Edit: figured I'd add a quick wip to this post rather than add another! Liking how this is coming on

      Wink where does the time go?


      This is my first jam.... & i loved putting this together....based on the "Benjamin Francis Leftwich" song.... "More than letters".

      It's a truly beautiful song & is dedicated to the lady who stole my heart. I love you petal.x

      Where does the time go?

      where does the time all go forever?

          Another quick update. Spent most of today fighting with the composition, so that i didn't have a black hole in the centre of the painting, but think with some more work on cloth folds and smoke effects, I should be able to balance it with the horses and the figure. That's the plan, anyhoo. :/

          Tobzart: looking cool, like the dynamism and energy of the brush strokes, tho I'm a little confused as to what's actually happening on the left of the image - is it a creature of sorts?

                    Default Extension you say?


                    How kind! I hope that I can finish up in time, though my own is not nearly so stunning. It's all for the fun anyway, and I've had plenty of that.

                    I wish I had done so many things differently with my own image, but hey. That just means next time I'll try and think of things differently :3

                    Going to try and wrap this up and post an update soon. Everyone is fantastic so far!
