Where Inspiration Was Born

Description

“So show a little inspiration/ show a little spark/ show the world a little act when you show it your heart/ we've got two lives--one we're given,/ and the other one we make/ and the world won't stop/ and actions speak louder/ listen to your heart.”
Performed by Mary-Chapin Carpenter




Inspiration for me is something, that could not be described in several words.
It`s the feelling like your are walking some centimetres over the ground and everything seems possible; it`s very powerful and concurrently fragile: you can create a brand new world and the other second it can be crashed into pieces.

Trying to improve my poor colouring skills :la:
I used a reference for the girl but one of her hands still looks strange o.o

You do NOT have poor colouring skills. It's very beautiful. Everything from the gradiation in the sky to the abundance of a variety of colours. The trees with the mutliple colours are very interesting and so is the sky. I can only applaud the anatomy in this picture save for the woman's left hand, but you already mentioned that. But honestly it does not hinder the beauty of this picture as a whole. The wrinkles in the dress are magnificent and realistic. In addition this picture is full of creativity. The animals are very breathtaking. The shading is also very well done and I have no true complaint for this picture. I can just imagine the various temperatures of the dry lands compared to the ocean. The part that I also like is the cracked pattern in the ground that reflects in the sky.

I can also imagine how soft her dress. The colours give it that soft feminine feel. The lighting in this artwork is awesome and the shadows match accordingly. The White Tiger holding the "Moon" Balloon is quite inventive especially because it turns out the end can plug into an outlet! So now the moon is a giant lamp, interesting. Lastly, I love the texture of the clouds, her hair, her skin, and the castle on the large turtle. If I was half as good as you, I'd be proud of myself.
