What No One Dares to Dream

Description

Maybe it would be a better Indy Art > Dark picture if it were...erm...darker.

But it looks Sleepy Hollow-ish, so I am pleased.

So...this is the not-so-sketchy, not-so-black-and-white version of From the Depths of Fog. I REALLY love this. It took forever, but I'm finally happy with it. I know the trees look shabby, I know the leaves by the side of the road look like piles of formless color, I know that the nicer leaves scattered and blowing across the road are bit too...bright and colorful...but it looks fine with all of its faults, methinks, and so I am happy. The hair looks nice...I've gotten better at CGing hair (after all--I stopped doing the thing where I just dodge and burn it...now I actually put on colors and blend it...it may take longer, but it looks a LOT better)...and the cape doesn't look cheesy or anything. The shoes...well...you used to be able to see where I dodged it and burned it...but I just burned the whole thing instead. And it looks better. ^^ Also...I know she's much paler than usual. It's a Sleepy Hollow thing. I mean...come on, everyone in that town is, like, completely white and every shadow on their face is grey instead of brownish. So that would be the reason for the weirdly pale skin. Also...the pumpkin. That's the pumpkin from the beginning of the movie, when VanGarret gets decapitated. That's why there's blood on it. But it's all lit up and stuff because it looked more fun that way. And the fog looks good. It took forever to get right, but it looks good. ^^

Again, this is Talia Frost (~gracifer's pirate character), who stars in my PotC sequel, the Past of Four Souls (information on reading it can be found at the bottom of my journal entry). Also in the webcomic of Past of Four Souls (also can be found at the bottom of my journal).

Oh yeah. She has the Hessian's (the Headless Horseman's) cape. That is an awesome cape (but, again, I would MUCH rather have Ichabod's jacket. X3). And it looks great on Talia, too.

"The horseman comes--and tonight he come for you!"

Talia belongs to ~gracifer
Sleey Hollow belongs to...those people. Yes, those people.

This was the most perfect search result for me. I searched on "who dares to dream" as an answer to a quiz. The thumb for this is posted in my journal: [link]
