The Sleep Of Reason Produces Monsters. (c)

Sweet greetings from pan Kaidanov once again. My dear watchers already know that necromancer guy, he's an OC of mine, appearing in the story I'm currently working on. That's the way my story was planned... He should have had an owl as a pet. But after I've watched Harry Potter and the whole fuzz around it I've abandoned this idea. Tbh, I was really disappointed by madame Rowling, as she doesn't know ANYTHING about how an owl should be taken care of. For example, you may not keep them in the cages. And many other mistakes she made. But anyways, my OC has got a white gyrfalcon now. :)

That's the 1st time I've tried to design a nouveau frame, hope you like it. And this hairstyle... Guys, you don't want to repeat it. EVER. I swear it. That's not really safe for your health! I warn you! :nuu: It was extremely difficult to manage. I've spent around 70 hours on this painting. :) Half dead, but content.

Media: Acrylics, watercolors, pastels, copic markers, colored pencils.

Great color harmony here, the rather monochromatic purple jives quite well with the Art Nouveau style. The hair is impressive too, it was like 50 of the 70 hours huh? :D

Fantastic work, it looks like it was well worth the effort!
