A retro/steampunk pic stylized as an old photo. It was supposed to be a commission for a large (3x2 meters) print in a leather/furs shop window, but it seems my client is a bit less satisfied with it than me.

While working on the concept I was thinking of works by Richard Bach and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. I hope that so will you :)

I used about 15 reference&inspiration pics found on the net, unfortunately those are so scattered around I cannot provide links. If somebody gets desperately interested in those, contact me :)

Lovely

yes, and on top of the 0 bombers, some people just don't know what art and music really is.... they judge everything against they're own style and genre. For instance, if they love color & fantasy type art, they might "hate" this piece. i hoever like it very much so :) keep up the fantastic art

Citrina responds:

Thank you! I make all sorts of stuff, after all the years I'm still searching for a style of my own, trying different media, etc. So I hope in the end everybody can find something that they like in my gallery :)

Well Done

I gave it a five, I don't know why it's rated so badly but I think it is done perfectly (or as close as you can get to perfection). the style, shading, and the mood are all great, and I can't see why this has been beaten in terms of score by a drawing of bulbasaur.

Great job, even if it wasn't accepted it stands alone as a great work of art

Citrina responds:

Thank you very much! I have to admit I see a lot of imperfections, and every once in a while I get tempted to fix those, but I stop myself. If I keep fixing everything I ever did I'll never make anything new :)

As for the score... My husband is a Newgrounder for over 3 years, and he keeps complaining about zero bombers. That might be the case. Or so I hope :)
