Artist's Comments

Born from lust of enemies
Grew up and lost control
Fed her blood to entities
Now they possess her soul

-

What a shame, what a shame
Poor girl, what a shame
Just like her father, but really who's to blame

Stay away, stay away
Sweet girl, stay away
Listen to your mother, its really not a game

Look away, look away
Stupid girl, look away
Your fate be in the cards, but I beg you look away

What a shame, what a shame
Poor girl, what a shame
Poisoned on the inside, but its really all the same

(kudos to my sis :iconsweetsmcguire: for helping me write that :) )

I worked on this piece for quite a long time. (probably over two months, on and off *cough* ) There's a story behind it, and the poems describe it vaguely. In a nutshell, she's a young woman whose taken with her father's obsession against her mothers wishes and ends up giving her soul away to demons. She's able to read fates with her cards, so I've pictured her reading her own.

Many thanks to those at PixelBrush forums for their unwavering help throughout.

I'm very happy to be calling myself finished with this after all this time, but I'm still willing to make changes if some crits are thrown at me, so critique away! ;)

This is beautiful. I love all the details...especially the butterfly in her hair.

The only thing that bugs me are the length of the fingers...they're all a bit uniform.

Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at.

OH my giddy god.... no... OH MY FLAMIN' GOOSE.. no.. HOLY MACORONI! .. No.

:O :O .. I could cry... I love it Sara, your work is like.. so beautiful and really really inspiring!. I feel like I neglect my Wacom and my progress and I feel even worse that I had you help me and I haven't done much to improve but I have study and I really need to do it. But anyway back to your wonderful piece of work. I love the emotion and the pose set here and all the small things that really make up her personality and life in this one picture.. You've captured her bad side and her good in one. The fabric is excellent, in no way could I have done that.. I don't think there is anything wrong with this piece at all, the shadows are like.. MAGNIFICENT and the wall even has this term in itself (the background) that sums up this story by throwing her forward but keeping it's own interest by forms of light and it just all looks.... AMAZING.

You are my.. my.. my :hug: idol of digital art :D
I'm favouriting :D
