Description I will most likely scrap this later. But I spent a hell of a long time on it so I figured it should at least be in my gallery for a little while.
Goodnight sweet prince.

Wow! This is really cool! It reminds me to an ilustration from Angela Sommer-Bodenburgh's "Little vampire"...
Really nice! Love it!

The tree is incredible to me. It has so much dimension and life to it (even though the concept is dark) I shall be watching and getting inspiration from you. I love the dark yet whimsical nature of your art.

very nice use of monochrome here. i like dark pieces such as this. the title tells me you're a circle takes the square fan, or is that a coincidence?

Nick-
I'm sure it's a little late for a new comment on this piece, but your work with textures is incredible. The picture gets it's own depth from the layers you put into it, but the perspective is such that the moon looks as if it's hanging off the branches. (whether this was intended or not, I'm not sure) The shading from the single light source also adds to this depth, and I really enjoy your greyscale work, as you seem to concentrate more on these elements while not having to worry about color. Amazing.

I love the black and whiteness of it, simple yet effective. The detail and shadowing/lighting always amazes me. I be jealous of your talents >.< I suppose everyone is though. ^_^ Anyway, reaaaalllly nice job. Really.

Why would this be a scrap? It seems like a full-blown deviation to me.

I love that tree. o_O The texture on it is just awesome. The style and everything is just good. =3 Awesome how the moon looks beveled....There really isn't that much to pick at in this. o.o; The only thing is I can't really tell what the dude by the light is. =/ Looks like a monster guy with a mask on. But whatever it is, it looks good and looks like he fits, so yeah. o.o Nothing to complain about.

the sense of light is incredible, and i love how softly it refelcts on the moon- it's a nice contrast to the scratchiness and texture of the foreground.

you really are incredible, aren't you?

I really like the texture on the tree. I wish I had a tree like that in my backyard so I could sit on it and hang a swing from it. But I don't climb trees.
