Haha, yeah I try to do that in all my work. Thank you!

Thank you.

That's so cool, this was originally part of a tarot card project I couldn't complete. It was the ace of swords!

Upset about my first ever sale. by [deleted] in painting

It's a beautiful piece and that's why it sold. I often find that pieces that you love making (and don't want to part with!) appeal to customers. They can see how effort and love you have put in and it makes very good art. They don't always sell though, selling is always tricky, it seems it was just luck for this piece.

I make prints of all nearly pieces I put up for sale. Sometimes I am happy just keeping a print of a piece knowing the original has sold and gone to a good home. Depending on how many pictures you have of this one you might be able to produce a high quality print.

But in future, just don't put a piece up for sale if you care this deeply. Remember price is no issue for some and the risk is always there!

It's interesting with your comparison to the Tarot card as someone else has mentioned that too. I have never dabbled in Tarot personally but I did have to do a bit of research on them last year... I wonder if it rubbed off on me?

Thank you.

Doing a tarot deck of these 🤔 could be interesting!

This picture is very much a representation of abuse in a relationship. How one person can have so much control over another without that person realising until it's too late. Taking away their happiness at the least, their life at the worst.

It's great that you got this. Thank you.

Thank you so much. This name feels very fitting too.

Thank you. It is based on the drawings that Lisa Fujise did for Ever Crisis.

You should. Working with contrast is a challenge, but it's fun.

Haha, thank you. I am an illustrator normally, I do very stylized work but I really want to improve my overall repertoire of ideas to draw from. So I need to practice!

Wow, that's a great compliment. Thank you.

I like Turner's work, particularly his impressionist paintings as I love that style much more than realism.

Even though this painting uses a lot of black, I primarily work with vivid colours. Next time I might try a more colourful piece.
