Artist's Comments

Phew, finally done.

This was originally my entry for :iconfictionist:'s contest, but I had to work a load of late shifts and couldn't get it finished in time ^^;
So count it as a piece of gift-art :aww: - I spent a while on it and didn't want to just write it off! :D

This is :iconfictionist:'s character Ecarlate - such a beautiful design :love: - I thought her story was interesting, so here is the snapshot in my head I got when I read it.
She is marooned on a desert island when young, her parents killed when the boat goes down - hence the setting.

Time taken:20 hours plus

References used: :aww: :heart:
Ecarlate from :iconcaserta-stock:
The two parent-horses from :iconrachellafranchistock:

Thanks also to :iconredheadstock: for her amazing collection of brushes (used for some of the clouds and waves)

Oh, and since it was a lyrical contest, the lyrics I was basing this on were

"You don't form in the wet sand, you don't form at all, I do."
From the song Wet Sand by the Chili Peppers.

Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

Wow the background is awesome! And I love the ghostly forms of the parents, plus this one in front, the pose is gorgeous and you did really well.

Thankyou so much! :hug: :glomp: I'm glad you liked the parents, they were one of the bits I wasn't too sure about ^^;
I like the background too, though I'm still a real rookie at them :iconteethplz:

God I have been meaning to comment on this for ages now!

Here I gooeesss
I loves it, needless to say :giggle: I think this may be your best picture to date :D The sky is beautiful, I love how vivid it is and its got a paint like feel to it which really brings out the clouds and such. The ghosts of Ecarlate's parents are stunning, I had to keep looking at them, I love the poses and the transparancy and EVERYTHING :lmao: they look so sad! :( As for Ecarlate, she herself looks stunning, your anatomy and shading has really improved! The wild hair and sandprints are very well done. Lovely work hun, its so beautiful ^_^ I just wish I could keep on faving it forever :heart:

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.
