Tag As FavoriteComment		Who claimed that the Moon can't feel love?

Phew, this image actually required lots of hard work to make it what it is now. It's actually half-sketch-half-negative-half-collage. It was really difficult and I needed some quite inventive ideas, but I think it all worths.

The basic idea was inspired by Blind Guardian's ballad 'Blood Tears', Nightfall in Middle-Earth, 1998.

Wow.

this is stunning, the effect of the blood against the stark whiteness of the moon is incredible. I can’t believe that there’s no comments! ^_^;

This should so be a mods choice. did you use a photo of the moon for it? [doesn’t understand how you used a negative in it]

:-) M. B. Savchovska replies: "The very moon is a photo of a full one. I could barely draw it so realistic. 12
As for the negative - the clouds and the sky around the moon were drawn as a negative (thus for example the sky was white and the stars - black). I admit this made it more difficult in a way."

I feel bad for commenting on this so late. *cries in shame* Oh well. Its better late then never. This is pretty sad, but beautiful too. On a scale of 1-10 (ten being highest) I give this (and all your other work) 15!

:-) M. B. Savchovska replies: "Big THANKS for that rate. And don’t worry about late commenting, my replies are frequently even more late."

I like it, except i think it would look better (although its still amazing) without the lady in the moon.....But i think that would defeat the purpose too.......

:-) M. B. Savchovska replies: "I also think so, though - frankly said - I myself am not quite clear about the purpose. I did it just from a heart. Thanks! I admid the portrait could have been better, but it was meant to be blurred."

She, the moon, looks beautiful and alone, in the middle of an oncoming storm,isolated in space. There is a great sense of foreboding in this picture.
