"Post your Art" Thread

One of my biggest inspirations and my favourite artist, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, died on Tuesday. He had brain cancer so I guess it wasn't unlikely but I was still shocked- his voice was so powerful, and he himself so physically striking that I couldn't imagine his becoming sick or weak. I'd been hoping to see him in concert sometime, since a recording of good opera singing is only a shadow of the real thing.
I've been meaning to paint him for a while, but I guess his death was the kick up the ass that prompted me to actually start. I'm gonna finish it properly, so for now this is a wip.

The picture is of one of Vellamo's (a character in Finnish mythology) daughters (drawn by another person) and while I was looking up pictures of Vellamo, I saw there were some with both yellow and green in her hair. So I made it into stripes. One problem I had when doing the coloring was over-shading the lily pads and I had to remove a lot of the shades in Photoshop. For some reason, the pads turn white instead of light green, but the white ones stand out more. Hope you like my crayon work.

Every time you post art I want to raqe quit art because I'll never get to your level.

Just a weird demon thing.

My computer froze while I was trying to color this and I had to take a picture on my phone/play picture surgery with it on photoshop. A lot of it couldn't be saved and thus the result is a bit of a messy doodle, but some of the texture actually looks nice.
