Artist's Comments

I haven't painted in so long... this felt wonderful to do. Took around 3 hours - the body was done in watercolor, because watercolor just does not get enough credit when it comes to painting people. The background is a combination of watercolor, white acrylic, and willow charcoal. No preliminary sketching was used, just paint straight onto the watercolor paper!

I tried a new style on the bg, and I'm quite liking it. I was aiming for a James Jean - esque style, and I think I might-have-sort-of grazed it.

Thank you! My poor grey watercolor was sorely abused for the skin in this!

This is really really hot and good and fabulous. And...could it be??? A Decemberists reference??? You do like them subconsciously, don't deny it!

Nice work. I don't think I've ever seen watercolor like this.

wowsoooolovelysoooamazing *dies* This has to be my favorite picture you've created. ever, the colors everything is just too amazing, I love the muted grey tones, and the warm yellows used.
The shading is just too fantastic for words, let alone me trying to put them in anything but WOWWOWWOW, rite now. Gah I love it oodles and oddles. :heart:

Also I think you really would love the Kabuki series by David Mack, that is if your not already reading them. His watercolors are simply the most amazing things. here's one of my favorites:

OH and I thought you might get a kick out of this one as well, I'm not positive as to which series this is from, I'm thinking the daredevil comics, but I'm not positive.

fantastic! ^0^ great use of black- its such a hard colour to carry across but you managed it perfectly. Gives a great sense of lighting and depth.
