Fortress Around Your Heart

Posted Aug 22, 2007, 11:03:55 PM UTC

Okay, well, I've had this idea in my head since last year. This is the first time I've been even semi- successful at drawing it even though I've tried like 10+ times. It's not exactly it.... but close. The emotion in the picture is right anyway.

Inspiration: Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart

Beautifully coloured. I particularly like how simple the background is, and how he's sort of coming out of that frame of reference.

The snow gives this picture a very soft feel, which is nice.

My only major crit is that the shine on his hair looks...funky. Like, it's a straight line across his noggin, when it should curve to show his head's round. If that makes any sense at all.

This is really pretty. And calm.
