Description

"A bruise is tender but does not last, it leaves me me as I always was. But a wound I take much more to heart, for a scar will always leave it's mark. And if you should ask me which you are, my answer is -- you are a scar."
- Wounded by Lang Leav

Hello again everyone! This was such a tricky one to paint. For one, I have never really painted or colored electricity, only drawn it. But perhaps that helped me to get some footing into this piece. I wanted to show the vibrancy of the electricity and the surge of life. Anything cybernetic is actually a lot harder to paint than you would think. One thing you have to do is make sure there is lots of dark in the picture but appears to be overwhelmed with light, at least, that's how I look at it. This was extremely difficult to paint because Sabine didn't finish quite a few of the lines. But maybe that helped with the rawness of the piece, you be the judge. Anyways, this was lots of fun to paint, and I really hope to do more like this in the future. Anyways, feedback and comments are always welcome!
