Blossoming Head
Again the skin of the character ended up overworked, but this time it works rather well with the concept. I planned on making a smoother skin which would have given more of a magical atmosphere to the piece, but it turned out very textured, which gives it more of an ancient look. It still works with the piece, just puts the emphasis somewhere else.
Blossoming Head
“Light shines
On a precious flower,
Lying there,
At the deepest of a chasm.
This bloom is the bed
Of a tired being
In a deep sleep
Of many ages long.
As the plant grows,
The wake of this life
Unknown in nature
Slowly approaches.
But in such depth
Where the sun rarely reaches,
Who knows how long it will take?“
