Noooow we're talking.
Added 2019-02-13 14:27:28 +0000 UTCNow this is coming along nicely. I've always wanted to do a colour scheme like this. Although the washi tape on the borders, pretty as it is, is confusing as hell, colour-wise.
Incidentally, it's weird how much I sometimes detach myself from what I'm painting, while I'm painting. I suppose it's impossible, and probably not very healthy, to be in the constant anguish this painting should elicit while I'm working. I do notice that I have two picture-viewing modes, and often the switch can be quite dramatic. Right now, I'm in contrast-checking, colour scheme-building, light-and-shadow rendering mode. When I leave my table for a few minutes and come back afterwards, I often feel that I'm seeing what I painted for the first time, on an emotional level.
This happened, to really dramatic effect, while I was painting "Black Despair" seven years ago. I remember painting it on a complete and utter auto-pilot for hours, in the dead of night, and at some point went to go to the toilet or get myself another bottle of Pepsi or see to some other basic needs, came back, and gasped when I saw what I'd painted.

Oh wow, I love what you say here. Very profound, and I think I get what you mean, although I've never really experienced it myself.

2019-02-13 15:39:03 +0000 UTCThe colour scheme is coming beautiful, and I’m glad it didn’t get as dark as the first time. As for the anguish thing, I guess it’s not healthy but kind of the usual thing. When I write (scripts) about very sad or emotional things, sometimes I make myself in the middle of the night. Alone (wouldn’t wake up my husband). The funny thing is that people who read my work or see any finished product often cry as well. So that’s part of the business, I guess. Now, “Alone against the world” made me cry just by remembering about it, so that means you’re doing a good job. :.) EDITED: And oh, that wound! My poor boy. T_T
