Artist's Comments

"They watch my dance, they know me by sight, but will they ever know who is behind the mask?"

This is a submisison for silentkitty's contest. I hope she likes it, I worked for a very long time on this.

She said to use imagination, so I decided to try and add a little 'human' face to the image. Or perhaps I'm just inflicting some of my own emotions of late onto this. :P

This is her character Sky, a dancer for 'his' people. Dancing is a relegious activity in his culture, and he always wears his mask while dancing. She said he is naturally quiet by nature, so I decided to play with a theme of loneliness. She said they were a subterranian culture, so I used a cave-like theme for the setting.

Character belongs to ^silentkitty
Image belongs to me

Full view, please! :D

Interesting. your characters get less stiff each time you draw them, and then your coloring has been excellent too, you're really budding into an awesome artist. I like the body expression he has, and the lighting is awesome. great work!

beautiful peice, Kay! The expression is kind of sad, pained, lonely.
I love the details you put into the feathers , and the emroidery pattern on that fabric, and the rendering work kind of reminds me of a painting :nod:
Excellent job with all the blues, and the subtle yellow light playing over the image. I love it, best of luck in the contest! :D

Share art with others, but remember that though you share it, it is still your own work, your thoughts, your feelings. Keep only your own expecations in mind to unlock your true potential. You are your worst critic. Use it as an advantage.

Wow...this is really good. :) I like his pose and expression, and the way he's still halfway hiding behind his mask.

Damn good skintones! :D
