Artist's Comments

No, this has nothing to do with the book Twilight.

This is, possibly one of my most ambitious paintings, and the culmination of a lot of other paintings and subjects I've tackled over the last few years. I started this more than a month an a half ago--before I painted Oberon--and I think there are things I would have done differently if I'd started it after I'd painted Oberon. However, over all, I'm pleased with it.

The painting is loosely based on a story I'm working on at the moment--so no touchy on the subject matter, please.

Some textures were used in this, most from my own images, some built in Painter textures, and a few from CGTextures.com

OMG! I really love the concept of the image... and colouring of course! The detail is amazing, but I really like the grass and water. :)

this is precious. I love the flow of her dress...and all the magic you can breathe in the whole picture ^-^ His horns are...a bit different, though...but you get used to it (they look kind of heavy ^^; )

Very interesting. I would be very interested to read the story when you have completed it. I'm having portal images come to mind.

Thanks for sharing.

This is lovely. I can most definitely see a story behind this piece.

Awesome. Are they big or is the person under the arch very small? Either way it's a great concept and beautifully done. :clap:

I decided to keep that somewhat ambiguous. *I* know, but I'll let you decide for yourself. :D

All the little details and textures are amazing in this. I love the fact that we don't know whether the couple is larger than average or the person who is kneeling is very small. Also, the woman's dress almost blending into the tree and surrounding area is gorgeous. Great job. :)

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine. I won't try to philosophize,
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes. This is how I feel.
