This lovely girl listens to the name Aline. I found her a couple of weeks ago while I logged in at Deviantart. She was busy with uploading her gallery, so you can say that I caught her redhanded.

I left a short message on her account in which I expressed my appreciation for her stock. I can remember that she responded in a nice way. When I found this specific picture I knew that this would be ´the one´ that would be one of my future artworks. And finally, here it is.

I could have finished it earlier, but I felt sooooo lazy. Like some of you know, I created my current ID instead of finishing an artwork. But hey, somehow taking that short break helped.

I got a lot of questions about my technique. But please don´t get mad about the fact that I never go into details. In some of my future journals I´ll explain why. Anyhow, this one is created with brushes only. Brushes where stamped with solid colours, but I also brushed with textures and patterns. Light, shadow, sharpness and contrast are one of the most significant elements of my work. Another thing that can be recognized as mine is the use of ´old´ and antique colors. Ofcourse I have some favourite brushes. Some of them will return in each artwork. Ha, ha, I just like those ravens.

Just one more thing about Aline. She received the famous ´one week subsribtion´ from DA. But I know that she want´s something more permanent. So if you can afford it, please donate her a subscribtion.
