I wanted to make a painting that somehow would fit my old painting "The ascend", but to have a more darker expression. Kind of the opposite, but still to keep the same positive feeling from the old one. Painted from scratch during two short evenings using Photoshop 7 with a Wacom tablet. The picture was made in 4370x3500 pixels (w/h). Yet my girlfriend Natascha (Kyena) used as reference, but I guess I just can´t help not using her as she is a great reference model
