I believe I met her at a con once. Took a class in drawing anime that was led by her. Very cool girl.
WeirdoseQ
The glow in these just fucks with my brain, I just wanna learn how to do that too :(
TakamiStitches
It makes me happy to see so many comments simply implying how nice this amazing artist is, I hope she truly knows how appreciated her art is
vanahbot
She's so sweet! Met her at NYCC &I Got two gorgeous prints from her.
FourScoreandSevenKickstotheBalls
Her use of contrasting blues and reds is beautiful

Well if @OP won't link a source: http://destinyblue.deviantart.com/
OldMango
paying attention and putting detail into complimentary colors really pays of. beautiful art
RisingDragon
Noticed a lot of comments on the artist's age. Her art is influenced by a severe case of depression, from what I understand.
tinypurrito
Yep, its been bad enough that shes been hospitalized a couple of times in the last two or so years
muffledicecreams
the characters mostly look so unhappy. beautiful artwork though!
xjadeskyx
Her artwork is inspired by her own depression and anxiety. I had such a huge connection with it because I myself suffer from mental illness
muffledicecreams
I've had depression before (manic-depression), but I've never seen it as beautiful, nor romantic, never like those pictures.
Bobguy007
I like the colours
AbaddonWillows
Beautiful.
PMmeyourboibutts
never really been a fan of symbolism art but i like her stuff
lordfour
This artwork is very similar in style to the web comic "Ava's Demons" if anybody is interested in seeing more things with this style.
SnootBooper
Been a fan of hers for years, she's super talented and her art is beautiful

Looks more like 15 to me, but maybe she is advanced.
Pornegranate
As an artist I was too busy looking at the lighting and colour to notice the cheesy symbolism.
Blooples
Wow this art is amazing! Is there any place where I can find more of her work?
tinypurrito
She has an instagram and facebook, both under the name destinyblue
smeggedoff
Ah, I met her at a con, she's super nice. I have prints of #12 and #15 hanging in my house n_n
EmbarrassingDoughnut
I've met her at a local convention too! Had a great chat about her inspiration and why she draws. Very enlightening and beautiful!
xjadeskyx
It's definitely now on my check list to go meet her! I read a lot about her and she is a beautiful person.
YourLittleHoodratFriend
Who is the artist?
AuroraNora33

#3 Zone-sama?
Blaqklight
I'm honestly just commenting because of your awesome name. Keep up the good work and spread our gospel across the lands.
doubleormuffin
She hardly looks anything like Zone-tan.
CynicalDeino
Doesn't have the skull hair pendant. Or a lewd look in her eye.
IDontWannaSay
She's my favorite artist! Her art soothes me and she's the nicest human being ever. Met her twice, both were heartwarming experiences :)
WonderingWhen
Damn this style is a lot like my sister's. Hers is just less glowy.
UnknownACE71
This is nice

YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME
ssendm
where did you stumble on the artist ?
xjadeskyx
I was looking up information on depression, anxiety and schizophrenia and her pictures showed up as her artwork is inspired by these things
samuelpansbach2
Beautiful, awe inspiring, the use of florescent illumination is Brilliant. Such talent. I love the work.
KvinLacouture
Magnificent
bandashee
anyone else want to see what UV lights does to the images?

AzgarOgly
Is an artist 15 years old girl?
tinypurrito
Shes in her 20s
AzgarOgly
I see. Looks like early teens emotionally.
valaja
That's not "teenager angst" or whatever you mean - she's depressed.
AzgarOgly
Depression and emotional immaturity won't exclude each other, don't You think?
TheArseBandit
Yes it could be both, but in this case it is not the angst.
SacreDoom
As nice as the colouring is, the variation in facial proportions is almost non-existent. Makes it seem a bit same-y to me.
afallowdoe
She also posts sketches on her Instagram and those have a lot more variation than her finished prints. Maybe it's a refining thing?
pixeledforever
I call it the same-face syndrome.
EnvelopeOfDoom9000
And there's nothing wrong with that... or with how it feels to you.
afallowdoe
I honestly thing she pulls a lot of the facial features from herself which seems to be pretty normal for portrait artists.
GhostTasha
Honestly, it's a subconscious thing. A lot off my sketches are just made up, but people always say they look like me. I always thought 1/2
GhostTasha
2/2 it might be because I have a big extended family that I grew up very close too, and we all look alike. Maybe a developmental thing?
afallowdoe
1/Oh it's totally a developmental thing. I've had people say that a lot of my drawings look like me and it's often bc I use myself as a ref.
afallowdoe
2/ Then there's times I'll just draw myself because fuck it I can do that with my work that isn't a study or a still life haha.

#4 reminds me of the video for Damien Rice's 9 Crimes https://youtu.be/cgqOSCgc8xc
HD2composer
man... that is a damn good song, used at the ending of the episode for several TV shows I have seen, that is how I learned about it
r2linad2
The demo version was used for an episode of True Blood and sounded really weird and upbeat.
HD2composer
Damnit, I need to finish True Blood too. Have you seen the show Stalker with Maggie Q?
r2linad2
I haven't! I assume its good? I'll have to give it a try. I didn't finish the last season of TB, because it got too corny.
r2linad2
Also, this is probably my favorite version of the song: https://vimeo.com/3273381 It may be depressing but its sooo good!
