EDIT Mature content removed, description added. This is still one of my favourites, so I'm glad to be rid of that.

Don't ask me my name
Don't ask me to look
Don't ask who I am
Don't ask me to stop

Don't ask why I rage
Don't ask me for life
Don't ask to be saved
Don't ask to escape

Don't ask me to leave
Don't ask me to forget
Don't ask why I bleed
AND DON'T ASK HER NAME

Don't ask who she is
Don't ask why she hurts
Don't ask why I drew this
Don't ask. Just. Don't.


And long after I drew this, I'm finally able to write down some of the description that was in my head as I painted her.
People say she's abstract. This surprises me ^_^
On lighter screens, you can see the bottom edge of the wings - they're supposed to blend into the darkness (and my settings are right. I checked)

I discovered new ways to use
ArtRage with this - the semi-transparent veils, for example, are thin lines of blur/soft palette knife.


And something looked down and said "This is wrong". And they were torn apart. And now she guards the gates of heaven for evermore, until her love is returned to her. And no angel may pass.

I would like to point out that people have written much better descriptions in the comments ^_^ - or asked me something, allowing me to actually describe it better.

Again, the textures are amazing! I love how she's blending into the background. But I agree with others, there's something about it that feels abstract. =D
