Description
This was a request, someone asked me to draw a superstition. I like how superstition and suspicion look and sound allot alike.If you are reading this, I love you. Plain and simple.
You guys who watch me as I fumble and bumble through paintings and making artstuffs... You are the best.
I don't know what I would do without you guys.
Probably get out of the house more, enjoy the sunlight, maybe exercise.
Ahhhh. Let me explain this silly little painting. As some of you guys know, I work in art restoration. It isn’t glamorous, but I love it. I go to work, look at beautiful old paintings (most with big holes in them) and come home dissatisfied that I don't paint enough of the good stuff. The good stuff being big marine paintings, reclining buxom nudes with draperies, landscapes with horses, and anything else that doesn't look like a box of melted crayons... reminds me of what I don't paint... Yesterday, I couldn't shake the thought that I hadn't painted a figure in gawd-knows how long, so here one is.
I'm working through requests right now, have been since the beginning of may. Two graduation presents, and one random request down... (I created a request form on my website and I wasn't going to announce this on DA.. but... it is there if you want to do some treasure hunting..).
If you requested something (which may be one of two people who could be reading this), and wonder why I keep posting other stuff.... I love you very dearly. I’m just a tad slow.
4 x 6 inchs
Acrylic with some photoshop (‘cause I have little to no self control after I scan something)

I've just got back from the National Gallery (London) and you you do yourself a disservice. You are a fine painter!
Not glamorous? Stuff-and-nonsense! Sounds to me like your following your heart, and nothing could be more exciting and glamorous.
Great pic!

you work in art restoration? i envy you!
traditional art has that unique quality that can't be achieved through digital media. i think this painting is really amazing, love it, especially the runny background.

Ah, restoration is just long hours and eons of solitude. You and a painting. A painting and you. Most definitely a painting made by someone who has passed on, and filled with painted figures who have also passed on. Very lonely and morbid when I think about it.. Also, you gotta take care to not talk to the paintings when the boss is around. 
Being a quote 'traditionalist' just means I waste money on supplies and never get my scans to look right. Ahhhh, on the other hand a quote 'digital artist' can work at lighting fast speed, quickly fix anything, be ready for print on a drop of a dime and can toggle their digital music selection at the same time.. Ah, I envy these digital types.

hmm, restoration sounds interesting ^^ thanks for the tips, i'll definitely going to look for an internship opportunity in case my current study doesn't work for me (i'm studying full-time physiotherapy ... far cry from illustration business).
i noticed that traditionalist can adapt quickly to digital medium whereas digital artist might have problem doing traditional artwork XD As for me, I do mostly digital thanks to UNDO button, that has to be the greatest invention ever!

I like the texture in the backround and the cat and the woman (she looks kinda sad) but anyway great job with the painting and such. It takes a talented person to paint.

Hahahaha. Exactly! Only evil demons of an under-realm would require me to give up awesome online buddies and razor sharp typing skills for exercise and sunlight.

Yeah. I'm not going to be getting excercise anytime soon, I'm enslaving any demons that come my way.
They'd make great pets, I reckon.
