Artist's Comments

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY

commission back from AC. after many months of emails back and forth. its DONE.

prompt was something inspired by 'upstairs downstairs' and 'gosford park' including the dog maid [kinda know as maddy] in a similar pose from this picture.
scanner killed it once again. but i don't care. its DONE :]

done with brown micron ink, brush pens, some off white colored pencil, and a little gel pen on brown paper. thanks so much for the DD!

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-12-27

Illustrative storytelling at its best, lonely house by *luve is absolutely ripe with emotion. The composition allows the viewer to slowly uncover the situation at hand. All of the tiny little details - from the elegantly lit chandelier to the framed portraits on the wall - really bring the old fashioned flair of this piece to life.

It's still lovely with nice atmosphere. It really does evoke a sense of loneliness and ennui.

Despite all that scanners do.

Old fashioned and pretty piece, I like it. The expression of boredom of neverending lonely day is well rendered.
:iconmilosflaca:
lovely!

Your scene-creating skills amaze me every time. I see details I wouldn't even have thought of. I enjoy your work very much.

I really like this one :3. Your internal compositions always come out so nicely. Both characters are really framed by the architecture, and because of the way you designed the space it makes the coat seem like a character too (if that makes sense?).

I agree that there is a lot of emotion in this piece. The composition is delightful and my screen resolution allowed me to scroll down over the image in a way that slowly revealed the story - sort of like the affect they made in Disney's haunted mansion ride in the elevator room. All of the little details you put into this really makes it come to life - like the chandelier and the framed photographs on the wall. Amazing.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use for inking pieces like this?

God, your art is so bloody beautiful
i love it, if you made a book full of your stuff i'd buy for sure

Do you have a price sheet for commissions?
