SciFi and Fantasy Art Peace and inspiration by Sam ´Zephyri´ Hogg

And she cradled the light to her, stood upon her wild tree of flight and dreams. Inspiration danced about her, thoughts and ideas in rest gently illuminating the budding fruts of her tree. For here, in the place beyond all others, she waits, her eyes closed against the harshness of her own world, enveloped in the alluring everness of a violet haze. Here alone she felt at peace. Here alone she could be herself. Here alone, she felt free.

Finally, one of my commissions finished! This took much longer than it should have, but I really enjoyed painting it. The brief was to produce something in a similar style to that of the astoundingly talented Stephanie Pui Mun Law. I recommend checking out her personal website too, the tutorial found on it was one of the best I've ever come across. You can find her website at www.shadowscapes.com

The colours aren't what I would usually work in, I'm not a florally pink and purple person, and painting in soft subtle shades nearly killed me. But the final result was worth it. And then, as usual, the bloody scanner massacred it. Why, oh why, scanner, do you hate watercolour so?

Watercolour, approx 15' x 22'. Time taken: ai, I have no idea... somewhere in the region of 30-40 hours, not including the sketch.

14 Sep 2005	Erika	Loading... You definitely managed what you were attempting. "Stephanie Pui-Mun Law" is the first thought that came to my mind when the picture was just starting to load and I could only see the branch at the top. Well done.
3 Oct 2005	Kickbutt 297	Loading... Oh my gosh...this is so...I don't even know, just...wow! -lol- It's so mesmorizing! I really enjoy the swirls and flow of the pinks and blues, and the pattern is incredible! For some reason, this reminds me of Card Captor Sakura-the girl in the middle just struck me as her...even though Sakura has very short hair...and I'm just out of it right now. @@ -lol- Anyways, beautiful picture. ^_^
3 Nov 2005	Kitty	Loading... Wow, the colors and the line designs are amazing ^_^
29 Sep 2006	Streahorn	Loading... I love the vibrancy of her robe, in contrast to the colours, of the background, the name suits it perfectlt.
25 Oct 2006	Naomilynn	Loading... This is beatiful. I love this painting-I absolutely love it. It inspires me to paint. It inspires me to do more. I have so much to give-like you-and I don't. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and for the inspiration. This is truly beautiful and I am a huge fan of Stephanie's as well.
