Originally I was working with a photo of two friends of mine who are sisters. One was wearing black and the other white, and I was going to make them into a yin yang ... which I might still do, but as one had golden hair and the other dark dressed in silver, it reminded me so much of night and day that I played off that instead. Their arms were not clasped behind the sun's leg in the original photo but I did that in a sense of unity between the two like a relationship sharing the sky. I felt that it also tied in well with the zodiac series with the sun sign and the moon sign.
The media is mixed, as you can tell that the sky in the background is digital, but the majority of the image is done in watercolor and ink. It was mostly an experiment in mixing medias, and I feel like it still captured the intent of the work.
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.
