Daily Deviation

Given 2009-05-14
Rarely does a singular, two-dimensional art-form encompass the qualities of dance on so wide a range of perspectives - dance in the heart and eyes of a dancer as well as the standpoint of an audience, while maintaining the fervent ambiance of performing on stage. Please enjoy Prima Ballerina by ~ryoung as well as many more spectacular portrayals of dance in this gallery. ( Featured by `snowmask )

Congratulations on the daily deviation!

Upon glancing at the thumbnail, I thought this was a depiction of a skeleton, and thusly a commentary on the world of anorexia in ballet. But then I realized it was a beautiful ballet dancer...

Nice work!

At first I thought, "This is a photo," but then I clicked. Only a knife? But you managed such wonderful, sometimes subtle color shifts. How?
