I rather like the first idea, but that might be because i love endings to things that pull away from the norm. Either way its gorgeous and i love the idea of the empty flower heads.
finally finished this monstrosity, if i keep drawing like this with no breaks im gonna kill my hand -_- Spoiler: bluh
fun fact, when i was drawing the horn things all i could think about was "when i color this i want it to look like the carpet in a bowling alley"
DUDE that lighting and shading is incredible, oh my god I was gonna sleep but then I didn't so then I did this instead
I am so terrified I am gonna heck up this WIP once I start coloring, so I'm preserving the ink lines for posterity. Spoiler: hemostuck!airauw Ngl, I kinda love how I managed that hair, but I have let this portrait series sit for far too long. I've probably forgotten half my shading technique. *pulls out own hair*
