Description
I drew this for one of my closest friends and I really hope it makes her smile. She inspired it with her words and ideas and spirit. I'm going to order her a huge print for her wall to show my eternal gratitude.
I was trying to capture that moment when someone suddenly appears in your field of vision and you can really only see their silhouette because your eyes haven't dark-adapted yet. That kind of mysterious, disorienting feeling when you want to see more, but your eyes just won't let you.
I made this in oc and photoshop, mostly photoshop though. Making it so that I could have a print was the most challenging. I was working w/o a ref so that I wouldn't have to deal with getting clearance for a reference photo. And I was working on it spliced into pieces in separate .psds, head in one file, hands in another, etc, since my computer was lagging when I tried to work on it all in one canvas. This piece took a lot of tinkering, to get the peices to configure back together and to get the anatomy right.
This was also in the most recent Raster chapter [link]
edit 5/21/07 - refined some things to make a better print
