Happy Birthday Lili.

(actually kind of proud I managed to keep this one a secret)

This is my annual Birthday-picture to our dear friend :iconobsessedkitten:, who's been there for us through some tough shit through the years, but especially this year. Last time, I made a color version of a happier and more colorful piece (this one [link]), and a summer picture (this one [link]) to celebrate, but this year I felt like trying something a bit more moody and sad. So, here's Mayka again.
She's been around the gallery a couple of times now, and there's no seceret I absolutely love this character. Loved her for many years, and probably won't stop since she's so fun to drawn, and keeps evolving as time goes by.
This is actually an origin story painting of Mayka.. :iconobsessedkitten: and our OC of sort. Much like Lili's Mayka 0.5 piece ([link]) is a reboot-ish version of the character, this one tries to portray the story of one of her most noteable character traits, the scar on her face.

While not showing you who did it, or where it happened, with this piece I tried to convey the feeling of betrayal and sorrow that she feels right after she got the scar.

While gruesome and bloody, I tried to base this picture on the contrast between the words horror/pain and beautiful ... the beauty that remains although something horrible has happened.
Dunno if I nailed it.. but I hope so : )

This is also a personal piece, a scar can mean a lot to a person, and I've got a nice collection of them myself to remind me who I am and what I do. Same goes for Mayka.

Anyways, enjoy your birthday Lili. I look forward to our future endeavours : 3



*There's tons of hidden details in there if anyone want to look, like.. jewelry and stuff that tells you things about the character, check the download-version for a (insanely) Hi-res version : )
**I actually hid a faint reflection of Mayka's nemesis somewhere in the picture. See if you can find it : 3

****Thanks to Mary Q and Hana for some feedback and ideas during the painting : )

The dragon age comment is just really really retarded. That composition is ancient and has nothing to do with dragon age. Anyway, this is just marvellous and it made my day when I found it a few weeks back ;_____; So utterly amazing! THANK YOU!!!
