Frightened Demon

Edit: I changed the contrast, since it's probably too dark on some screens? My cintiq is quite low-contrasty so all the blacks look different on my laptop. I don't want the details disappear into the blackness in this piece..!

Bwah! I always feel like there's a long time since I've painted something detailed and "big" but I just had painted two commissions. It's weird (and kinda annoying, feeling like I don't paint often enough or something). Maybe it's about personal paintings, idk..!
I also wonder why I finish mostly paintings I start as "just something" rather than paintings I have bigger and more detailed ideas for. I guess it's because painting "just something" is easier and you don't have to think much. When if you have a specific idea, you have to pay attention to important details. Also when painting "just something", you don't have to think how the end result "should" look like. Though of course, you can paint something with a specific and detailed idea, and kind of let it go.... ehh I dunno
Also, about the importance of titles; I feel this piece would give a different message, if it was just "Frightened" or just "Demon". Do you know what I mean..? :U

BUT anyway, pondering aside, I'm happy how this turned out! And I enjoyed painting it, it was really nice.
