This illustration was a commission for my aunt. She was very vague about what she wanted...a girl, not toverly frilly flowery, no animals, earthy and red tones.
Given so little direction, this turned into a rather personal piece. I'm not sure what the deep inner meaning is. My brother asked about it and I said she apparently has some kind of drainage problem and I guess she should stop pouring water on the floor.
This piece used a lot of stock photos both as direct reference and as inspiration, so thanks go out to for the vintage pinups, for the architecture ref, and and for the stained glass refs. DA stock artists are awesome.

Cheating! Well, sort of. I traced the perimeter outlines in photoshop, printed the outline as a guide, and then went to work with rulers and circle templates to fill in the details.
But using the outline from the photo reference is what makes it work - otherwise my proportions would be so off. I'm terribe at judging that sort of thing, and perspective is often a lost cause.
When is enough enough... What difference does it make when popular artist vent vent vent and support a site that tolerates deviant behaviour. HA! no wonder its all in a name.
Your Darkest Dreams is a monthly feature devoted to sharing dark photography works from DeviantArt. Often misunderstood as "morbid" or "depressing", Your Darkest Dreams seeks to show this kind of photography in a new way: by showcasing art that is thought provoking, but at the same time unabashedly displays the beauty in darkness.
A former volunteer with the Artist Relations team, `kuschelirmel has always been a wonderful role model within the community.
With a vibrant and eclectic gallery that would make anyone proud, her dedication to providing informative and easy to follow tutorials, journal CSS, and inspirational stock is clearly long overdue for recognition.
