Galaxy of an Horned God

This image is about not being to speak and having all of those, ideas, dark thoughts and inner demons circling around you and tying you. You see them, you know you have to let them out but you can't.

This one took me a lot of time! there is still some things to polish here and there but I'm taking a break! It's a mix of 3D and digital painting. It ended a lot more painterly than I intended at first but I really like that look . I like it so much that for my next 3D piece I'll work the texture that way instead of painting on the model.

EDIT: Reworked the background and the vines, added glow on the beads, softened the shadows of the face, removed the vines in the top left corner.
