Artist's Comments

His wings twitched, the slight motion rippling through space-time as he rubbed his forehead with a weary sigh. He barely felt the symbols of his power emerge, tracing their paths down his arm and chest in curling lines that sliced his body open for the wandering dead.

He didn't collect souls. They came to him, drawn like matter to a gravity well. They were his charge -- and his burden, too. But for a while now there had been something lacking, missing pieces in the puzzle of his own tormented spirit.

Mere slivers of void they were in the near-infinity of his essence, tiny scraps of nothing where something should be and yet they tore at the very fabric of him, demanding attention. Their silence screamed louder than their voices ever could, asking questions he had no answer to.

Souls didn't just vanish. But these had, and still he failed to find them while their absence ate at him, devouring him from the inside out.

Intense. That's simply amazing, i even love the little prose. Really soft and smooth... your pic gives that aura of anxiety, as he suffers in silence.

Love it! :D You're an incredible artist.

Oh this is very nice! One of your better recent pieces I think. The handling of light and mood is excellent. I'm especially fond of his wings and hair and the atmospheric effect you have in the trees. The story is also intriguing! Great work! :D

This is quite beautiful...the delicacy of the detail on those wings is wonderful, and his hair and face are just lovely. I think his legs are a bit troublesome..the left one looks very womanly, curvy and smooth..but the other doesn't really match, so it's a bit off. I really love the setting and the lighting, the tree trunks look very nice.

This is absolutely astonishing! O_o Beautiful as a whole, and with a lot of great detail... Waaaah, I want to be able to pull off something like that, too... I don't have such skills though, not even close... ^^

Oh well... I've got some new stuff too, though, and you're heartily invited ^_^
:iconcrudity:
Wowowowowohoooo! :wow:
Words and picture are beautiful... O-O
I love the misty wings... I am shocked of beauty...
:iconfarli:
Looking at all those tutorials DEFINATELY paid off.....! Oh my lord, this looks wonderful. The translucency and shine to the wings fits with the soft gleam his pale body has. The lurking, brooding figure, the only source of light in the dark of the woods, consumed by his own thoughts.. There's a deathly shade to him that works so well, and I love the /trees/, their cragginess and the soft tufts of grass at his feet.

Coupled with the brilliant piece of text that sets the scene, and WHAM. Wow. This is a beautiful piece, Technoelfie. :D
:iconzeephos:
I think this is just a bit better than all of your other pieces. The colours and the atmosphere is simply stunning. I must fave this! :+fav:
