Shattering Existence

Compared to the prior drawing, this redraw is absolutely stunning, the subtle -or not if you actually feel your eyes drawn to it- blood, the detail of the face, lips, the background, it all is really well done, and a massive improvement. This redraw definitely shows the leaps and bounds an artist can make in art.

Some things work amazingly, the cracks add for an amazing contrast to smooth skin and soft hair, the blood stands out upon the pale skin in a very appealing yet gruesome manner. Other things don't work so well, the jagged green and grey bolts feel very blocky and unnecessary, if their purpose was to fill in empty space it might have been a better idea to use something that works better like the colourful circle behind the subject. Some more of those colours in wisps or even subtle blood flecks on the blackness would fit in better.

This is an inspiring piece, despite the parts that don't work as well, it definitely leaves a sense of futuristic or magical essence in the subject's world. As a stranger I wish to know more about their story right from this simple picture, you've drawn me into a state of questioning such small details as why she has that wound, where did she come from, etcetera.
