Oh, paint the white of my wedding dress grieving black
For a widow I am, not a bride!
Mourning over my youth forever buried in the depths of these tombs,
As a flower dies without a sip of dew,
I wither away without the warm breath of my beloved sun.

Well, that's an outcome of a non stop few day work. I have decided, that I need to work a LOT on the anatomy and skin shading of my characters, and so I tried, in this one, to work the hardest I can on it.
I have done a lot of studies (mainly consisting of looking at myself in a mirror ;P), tries etc before even beginning to work on this.

I cannot, unfortunately, publish a full WIP of the work, as it's going to be published soon, but I am still sharing some sketches and closeups and a tiny tutorial :)

Its so amazing, dahlig.

The shading of the skin is amazing, and the folds of the fabric-it looks like she is about to walk out of the picture. I love it, really do. You have captured the feeling of sadness, lonliness, and even lust for the above world perfectly.
I wish I could capture what I want to draw/paint as well as you.
Oh, and congrats on your wedding!

this is beautiful. The way you executed this painting reminds me of the Pre-Raphaelite painters of the Victorian Era. Also, fantastic job conveying in one picture one of my favorite myths and seeing her heartbreak. Great job on the textiles!

This is awesome - as is all of your work. You have a very impressive gallery there and I sincerely hope you come out of it with a decent pension! Keep up the good work.
