Artist's Comments

I'm going to stay silent about any motives behind this. Feel free to interpret it as you wish. The background was meant to be a cloud and stars, but in case you think it looks more like snow, I can live with that. ;)
Comments much appreciated. If you like it enough to fave, I'd love to hear why. :thanks:

This is the third result of the inspiration that I suddenly seem to have found. I don't know how long this will last but I'm going to enjoy it as long as I can. Once again, this is a pencil/colour pencil drawing that I've given the final touch on computer. Everything that is drawn is drawn in traditional means while the digital tricks are there just to enhance the quality and give some more atmosphere. This is my style.

My previous works that have something in common with this – in other words, if you liked this, you might like these as well:
~ Sleeping Sun
~ Ever Dream

If it isn't obvious, I can only say thanks for the inspiration to the music of Nightwish, and I repeat once again: I don't try to interpret their songs but just draw what they make me want to draw. Before their music finally fully struck me, there have gone years when I've just pretty much hated every single line I've drawn. Now, each one of these new works is something that means a lot to me, not just as a final result but as a process of letting things out of my mind. Working on them is equally important to me as finishing them. The fact that I love all these three of my recent works is a huge change for me. They all have their flaws but I wouldn't change a thing.

Sorry for the watermarks. If they bother you, look at this from a bit further away from the screen. I think it helps.

Thank you. :thanks:

I'm not going to explain it, I think people get more out of it if they can make their own interpretations. ;)

Don't touch my bread! It's mine I tell you....MINE!!!!

I love your style. Absolute adore it. The backround does look like stars and clouds, and I see what egank0 is saying with the bloody tears, so I'm going to think it's heaven.

Eh, I don't know honestly, but it feels like everything in this piece could mean so much. Definite :+fav:, and that's why.

I can see it...And it is very beautiful your technique is smooth and soft, powerful as well...

It took a moment for me to catch on but once I did I understood the title...At least I would hope so...Excellent job..

o_o It took me a moment to catch what I was seeing - and then it HIT ME. .__. This is some wonderful work, here! I seriously was caught off guard, though it really does delve intuh your sense of imagination - a swan, a horse~...

Gorgeous and graceful. The stars do look like snow, and I see it as refreshing and renewing. The mark on her face could almost be symbolic of a wound (just how I see it). This whole picture just has a refreshing, new start feel to it. Beautifully done.

That's really beautiful. Not only a beautifully drawn picture, but the mood you've created in it is amazing.
:iconkuutulensudet:
It's beautiful drawing and somehow little sad.
