Moon Child

This is officially the piece which has taken me the longest time and is my absolute favourite! I was very much insired by the awesome *Kotorigaro 's painting of her lovely character Vaal, which you can find here: [link]

It included to things i hate painting; backgrounds and full-body horses! But I made it through, and I must say I'm very proud of myself! I started working on this one in the beginning of february, and ever since then I've been working on it on and off
And yeah well the background was killing me but I had an awesome reference and for the water I had to blend in some of my own stock photos.. I'm sorry about that but I just can't paint water >< And yeah the background is basically just a mish mash of brushes which I've made myself (might share them with you some day!)
