First pic I'm posting here for over a month which probably means I'm back...
There's a quite long story behind it but I will only say I was inspired to draw this by walking the streets of the Kibbutz where I had lived at night (a village for you); somewhat by Kagrra, haunting music and also by tarot cards, which is why I called the picture the way I did. Hope you like this [emoticon]

This piece is very calming; something about it just draws me in. Can't explain it; I just like it. X]

you've done what I really want to do, make the person smaller and focus on the picture as a whole, you've defiantly achieved a great harmony in this piece <3

Hi Atlantis, nice to see something new from you and something so beautiful and full of atmosphere. [emoticon]

To me it feels like the person is at peace and the light of the little lanterns give a warm feeling despite the darkness of the night. But I also feel some longing...

And great how you have drawn the tree, it looks very realistic.

Hey Yuuki! It's nice to be here again [emoticon] I have been on DA pretty much exclusively for a while but I suppose I'm back now.

I'm glad you understood exactly what I was trying to say [emoticon] I wanted to give this kind of a mystical feeling so I mainly worked on the tree and the sitting figure, which was alot of fun, especially those lanterns:nod:
Thanks alot for the favourites [emoticon]

You’re welcome! [emoticon]
I really like this on, would it be ok with you for me to use it as a desktop wallpaper for my computer?
