Hello Cgfriends,

Here is my first 2009 personnal digital painting ( 5130x7000 px, Photoshop CS2 ). I made it mainly to submit for the Expose 7 entry, a kind of personnal challenge I like. It was hard to decide to finish it tonight cause I started this painting months ago with an amazing hours of paiting on it , a personnal victory to took the time to finish each part , taking my time , during long weeks after works.

This painting represent a "keeper" ( "Guardienne" the title in french ). She's a kind of strong spirit that work as a sailor keeper, waiting them all the night when the lighthouse have a problem ; she equaly represent the sailors woman that wait long period. She have a dark side that I symbolise with a kind of "Chtulhu haircut" ; and with the dress , but in overall she's a good spirit.

On a personnal way ; I keep traveling since last month in a Cgschool in Belgium (H.E.A.J) as a Digital painter teacher, and I feel far from my wife alone at home... I dedicate this art for her cause I'm far again <3

Thanks for watching
