Artist's Comments

This is my second attempt at creating a digital artwork using the brush tools.
All but the pre-rendered clouds in the background were created from the ground up using Photoshop 8 and my old Wacom Tablet that I finally found.

My description doesn't really do this justice, so I decided to expand on it.
Firstly, I learned a lot from doing this. A lot about shading and detail, and the uses of different tools. The Wacom Tablet really made everything much easier.
Anyway, I made this because I'm tired of fear, any fear. Strange, right? Sometimes I just want to have the courage to step off the edge, embrace my fall and tear away from all the things that hold me back, like it was nothing. Imagine that, if you could let your fear rip away from you and trust yourself enough to let simply let go.
So, that's what my personal message is behind it. I usually don't tell or even have one, but art is all about expressing yourself, right?

*Updated the image an descrption. Fixed a few things, including the shadows (or highlights) and the blood "dispersal".

Actually, it was done digitally, so that takes away a lot of the credit ;) Not that great with pastels yet. Thanks for the comment though, appreciated.

You did a good job with the digital imaging then cause it looks pastel. Good affect
