Artist's Comments

"There is still time for hope, Despair." - Hope

With this piece, I was attempting to test the agility of my painting. Painted from imagination and reference while trying to practice realism in Corel Painter.

This is most likely my first time where I have been able to achieve a more photorealistic feel to my illustration work and I'm very happy with the results.

I hope that you enjoy this piece as much as I did creating it :).

:hug: I'm so happy that you finished Hope Before Despair Ivan my hunneh and it looks absolutely amazing!! I'm so excited about the new direction you took this piece in, and the new techniques and approaches you used too!! I think you have done an awesome job depicting both Hope and Despair and their pleasing contrast in appearance, and your emphasis on the precise details in each of them! I especially love Hope's turquoise earring and your choice of pose and composition for them in relation to eachother! The realism in the flowers, hummingbirds, and crow is so pleasing to the eyes, I love how you did them! Their metalic iridescent feathers and your lighting for them looks so lush and beautiful! This is another absolutely gorgeous new piece from you Ivan my sweetheart and I am so happy to have seen you work on it from start to finish and am so eager to see even more new art from you soon too :heart:!!
