Dying flameby *kunoichi-san

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Books & Novels

"Some of the flames were high and strong, shone brightly and lively, some other were small, unstable and shaky, their lights were fading and waning.
At the very end there was one flame, tiny and so weak, that it barely flickered, scarcely glimmered, alternately shining with a great difficulty and almost completely dying down.
- Whose is that dying flame? - asked witcher.
- Yours - said Death."

Flourens Delannoy "Old stories and fairytales"

That's an old speedainting. I made once a simple sketch and abandoned it. Lately I felt like finishing it. In total it took around 4 hours I think.

Picture is illustrating a quotation from one of the books about Witcher (those are fantasy books made by polish author, Sapkowski), from vol. 5 ("Lady of the Lake").
I guess that those books are not translated into english, and I don't know if you played the game (I didn't play it, only read the books), and if you're familiar with Geralt of Rivia and his story.

Anyway, every chapter of every book starts with a quotation from fictional book (herbal book, fairytale book, historical book) or a part of song,/poem. Parts of Flourence Delannoy's books were the best, in my opinion (apart of that one, I also loved the one about Witcheress' wishes - "I don't want wealth nor fame, power nor knowledge - said Witcheress - give me horse that will be black and swift like night wind..." and so on

) , so it inspired me a bit

Does your awesome flow like a river or do you have to charge it up? Because this is amazing. I can't imagine taking on a piece with this kind of detail at all, much less speed-painting it. You are very, very talented and this piece only proves it.

It's gorgeous. That skull on Death has got to be my favorite part, though the skewed perspective is a close second.

Rotfl XD Damn it, I tried so hard and failed XD
Can you point them please?

Lucky you then. I'm not the fastest deviant.

now i made a misspelling.
ignore the first "is" in this sentence:
But the only IS two REAL misspellings is in the sentence

it should have been:
But the only two REAL misspellings is in the sentence

I'm deeply sorry

~luca0483 Dec 25, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

After consulting with Prof. google translate (lols) i realized that it can be written in your way, but if you went to the exam in english (in denmark) it would count as misspellings (but i'm danish so i'm not that good either, thats why i thought that you had so many misspellings, lols^2)

But the only is two REAL misspellings is in the sentence:
"alternately shining with a great difficulty"
it makes no sense because the words are bent wrong
i think that it should be:
"alternately shone with great difficulty"
(note that "shone" is in the past like the rest of the sentence and that there is no "A" between "with" and "great")
