Description Time, wish of the Sacrifice. || 30inch tall x something wide || watercolour

This is a new cover for ASPS Part 2 [link] and is the 4th addition to my series of paintings dedicated to high vocabulary words that start with s. Although sacrifice isn't really a high vocab word ... but you know it COULD be. The other three are Saternine, Sanguine, and Sanctify. I drew this idea in June, redrew in July, partially colored in photoshop in August, lost my file in August, transferred drawing to watercolour paper in September, painted in October, and am finally done after scanning it NINE TIMES. AT 400 DPI. (clap please) Note - if you hadn't figured it out yet, I title my serious deviations l i k e t h i s.

I might post another deviation later of detail shots.

Something about this picture interests me. I can't exactly figure out what or why. And I don't know what it means, but I still love it.

I love it. The sombre colours, the umbrellas, the clock, the hair...everything. This painting is just perfect. I love the atmosphere and the mood that it has. Once again, I really, really love the black umbrellas. They look so...symbolic...lying there. As does the clock. There's nothing that I can think of to critique...

This is really cool. It's awesome the way the dude is, like, leaning into the wind!! Like the clock too. In fact, loooove the clock. Nice work indeed!! (I'm a terrible painter...)

Cool background, though the figure looks a big flat for such textural depth. Might look at Daniel Merriam, if you want to see more watercolorsts who work backgrounds sort of like yours. ; )

Beautiful watercolour work. The upper corner of the page caught my eyes before it finish loading. Since I love stormy weather, how could I not love this paiting? I think I could smell the rain... (Besides the fact that it is raining out... O_o) Sometimes when you think the work that you're doing looks "absolutely horrible" when you're working on it... Remember, there's always ways to fix it. (My friend told me that... Because whenever I colour-render my projects, I just wanted to rip the project apart.) She said... Just put more colours in until you can't do it no more. XD; Love your traditional works, keep up the good stuff.

Gosh, Blix, I keep wandering around DA, right, and I look over to the right and I see this and I'm like "Wow, I know that...*keeps browsing*" and five minutes later I see it again... and I'm like "Waitaminute...Why's that there?" And then I realize that it got a Daily Deviation thingy and I was like "Wow! That's so cool!" So I thought I'd pop in and comment again and say that... You rock my world. >_>.... Manly Carl.
