Artist's Comments

The title says it all. I suppose you could say the style is Carravaggio-inspired.

It's been a long time since I've been this excited to finish a painting. It was just one of those things where you get an idea in your head, and it just won't go away until you finish it. I really love how it turned out. Comments and crits welcome, as always.

Think your life sucks? A man's family was drowned while he was helpless to save him. He was trapped in a pit for days without food. He fell from a cliff and was attacked by mites. He survived all these trials, despite his opposition.

His name was Ripred.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy it.

For now we see as through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

That is a beautiful picture.. not just the incredible art, which is so lifelike it almost seems like a photo, but even more so the touching nature.

Thank you very much. I guess I don't do emotional pieces very often... But when I do, I always enjoy them. :) Thanks for the compliments.

:O Oh my....

That is so beautiful, I can't look away from it at all. The amount of detail in this is astounding, and the emotion in this is incredible. It really shows the sadness of their realization, and the strength of their friendship. Kudos to you, this is excellent.

The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

You're very welcome, you truly deserve it! Makes me wonder why this isn't on the front page though... :O It certainly deserves to be there 8D

I love everything about this painting. The emotion is so powerful and real. It's just beautiful. It also reminds me of life sometimes. (not a dragon of course) you love someone and you're good friends, but you know their life just can't last as long. Wonderful piece of artwork, my friend!

I Believe in Christ Jesus who saved me. He is my life and I'm praying for all of you.

Thanks very much. If it makes you think about life or death, or love and friendship, that's what I was aiming at. I'm glad to hear that it worked and that you like it. :)
