Here comes my last painting of 2011! Dude, it has really been one hell of a year indeed, with a lot of bad things, but at least as many good things as well! I practically ran through the whole scale of emotions and happenings this years; three periods in a psychiatric hospital, almost attempted suicide twice, met the love of my life, saw MCR live, enjoyed the summer to bits, quit school, stayed on a sick leave, got engaged(!!!), found myself a whole lot more and painted and painted and painted! Well, if nothing else, at least 2011 was surely an unforgettable year!

But, to return into the piece itself, by this painting I want to thank everyone who supported me and my art this year and also celebrate the upcoming New Year! I hope I'll be able to continue painting and upload many, many new paintings for you also in the 2012! So thank you so much once again, and see you again next year! ♥

all your work is so beautiful! I can hardly even imagine how much time and patience each piece must take to finish.

The awkward moment when the painting is more realistic than the reference photo used. :omfg:

No, absolutely not! All is painted by hand and for my sketches I use a method called gridding for getting all the proportions as close to the photo as possible. :)
