Artist's Comments



The fourth in the row of commissioned pieces, based on a story by the client. It's also the last one I will be able to show for the time being:

The Fallen are - as the name suggests - creatures who have fallen from grace. Or maybe they never fell, and have always been nightmares incarnate. No one knows what they really look like, as they can appear as anything they choose to drive their victim into insanity, and thus servitude or, if you're lucky, death...

Again there was no real brief. Neither my client nor I knew how to best depict these creatures. It wasn't until I was sketching for "the Fair" that I had the idea of doing what I did here. My client loved it, so... here it is.

Photoshop CS
+ close-ups: one | two | three
+ personal references used mainly for the hands and angle of the face.
+ no prints will be made available of this

The Fallen by `nykolai will make your skin just shiver! The colors, shading, and proportions are amazing and so well gathered to make a striking piece of art. (Suggested by ~ki-liana and Featured by `cosmosue)

absolutely beyond words. i can't take my eyes of it.
in my opinion you have surpassed all the other digital painters on here. perhaps not in technique (their not really comparable most of the time) but definitely in that heavenly spirit they used to call the kiss of the muse...
:+fav: for sure

Eerie but really awesome!

It's very impressive how you were able to add those faces into the dress.
The girl looks very seductive and dangerous at the same time. Great use of colors (makes it all more mysterious) and subtile background.

Love it :heart:

superb work - I really like the way you have worked the other faces into her garment - the gestures are spot on and the lighting is great. :D
