Oil on canvasboard, 14"x10", 2007

I have never, ever attempted a nighttime painting of this type - it has always been way beyond my abilites...however I'm allowing myself to be quite fond if this...:w00t:
Revealing the same spirit in art in the portrayl of characters from my novel always terrifes my as I always fear I'll won't be able to get that spirit accross...

Way cool! Night scenes are sooo difficult! I like the plot line behind it as well!

:bounce: chases own tail in excitement!! Purrrrrrrrrr :excited:

Thanks...I've stayed waaaay clear of them until this one...they're still scary though :XD:

mmmm...perhaps one day I shall subject DA to the introductory chapters of that novel, hey it's probably going to be as close as I'll ever get publishing it ;)

Black paint is such a pain in the butt! Although have you ever tried Payne's Grey? It's better than Lamp Black, or Ivory Black, it is a really really dark indigo that gives a nice rich warm black if applied strong.

There is no shame in publishing on DA! My stuff will proably never see the light of print other than here!

I agree wholeheartedly! I try avoid painting in black altogether, it's just such a dead colour...Everything in this pic is made up of preussian blue and mixed white...never heard of Payne's grey, but if it's that good I'll keep an eye out for it...

Guess I'm still a little nervous about someone stealing my charcters and created world for themselves...

Payne's Grey rocks!! You will love it!

I used to fear someone stealing my stuff. But then one day I realized that no one was getting to enjoy my work due to that fears. So I figured 'what the hell?' the risks are worth the reward if I can just entertain a few people. And if someone does steal it they'll never truely love it as their own the way I do.

that's true...which is why I've begun to upload some of the better short stories...oh my, I just realized I haven't written fiction for over3 years :cries:

hmm, wonder if any readers I might attract will stay with me - the entire novels is just over 80 000 words :questionmark:

You know I never thought I'd ever get any readers to stick it out with me through all the words, chapter after chapter...clearly I was wrong. Heehee.

Haven't written in three years! Get a move on!

Hehe...I don't think you'll need to be worried, you're reader's luuuve your stories :heart:...bordering on the fanatical (me included)

I know, I know Writer's block's a terrible sickness...

actually, DA's already worked wonders for my art, getting comments that go beyond "Oh a horse, why can't you paint something else" or "Yes it's a dragon, why not do something normal, like houses" meant that in the first month after I joined DA I made as many pics as I had during the previous year...maybe it can provide CPR for my writing aswell...:XD:
