The Queen of Technical Nonsense

I drew her eyes 3 years ago and swirled around them in a abstract fever whose meaning I never really understood.

Each time I entered my parent's home I was captivated by her look from the other side of the corridor. I always wondered what unspoken thought could hide behind her pale forehead, what mysterious secret could drive me hypnotized to the depths of her pupils.
One day at in a sudden impulse I grabbed a random blank canvas and started to sketch my Queen again. I painted during one month. Feverishly.

I struggled with the hues to keep her face cold but still feel the life breathing underneath.
I blew wind in her hair and colored her lips with purple.
I spent tenth of hours with tiny brushes to carve the surface of her mechaorganic coat.
I reworked her eyes several times until I felt trapped in her look again.


But I still wonder so many things about her.

its soo cool how zancan started from just eyes, i kinda kno wat hes talking about with the whole spiraling into something i remember i just started drawing a pattern on paper and it ended up turning into some kind of fairy somehow.....but wow i just love the random yet not randomness of this piece, it really makes it something spectacular....hehe and he used oil paint for this (sigh) im not brave enough to use oil haha ill stick to my water colours

i just have to say it:
this picture have dragons written all over it. its the fairytail feel it gives off

To be honest, Geo's right I do kinda see dragons in this pic. So detailed, it's beautiful.
