Artist's Comments

I found this wonderful photograph on Deviantart and desperately wanted to paint it, but held onto it for a while because it's not technically a stock photograph. But the artist kindly allows some of their photos to be used for references, and so I finally did it. I think it came out beautiful. One of my personal favorites.

Model: ~rosi-el
Original photographer: *hideto-niji

The background fractal art is by ~FractalStock

Please check out these wonderful artists.

Because the original photograph for this is not a stock image, it is more important than ever to stress that these images are copyrighted. Do not steal the artwork, Please.

The eyes are my favorite part about this one. And the pale color scheme.

Thanks!
