My Comments:


.: intro :.

Kiriban Prize Winner

Toia won the request for this art piece for being my 20,000th hit

Okay okay, so I know this is WAY overdue, but here it is, one of the 2 of my Kiriban prizes. This one was the first one I started working on... and since it was going well, I went along with the first design for it. It took a while because of so many other things that forced me to put it on the backburner. However, I had a good chunk of spare time today, so I set away to finishing it, and here it is!

.: artwork :.
This art piece was made mainly with watercolor pencils, which was a change for me from the everyday. Wicked Lady was done in marker and Derwents... but her sash was done in watercolor pencil. So was the background. I was really fond of making her sash very bold, and rushed-seeming. I like the dark outlines. I was inspired by some works of German Expressionism and Mr. Vassily Kadinsky. I didn't want to be refined in this piece, especiallly considering the fact that she's trying to "escape" from something.

I think it is a good piece but not my best, unfortunately. I think I drew her pretty well though for having not based it off another picture.

Favourite Aspect
Her face. I like the details.

Least Favourite Aspect
the background is questionable to me. It looks nicer in real life than it does scanned in and blurred on Adobe -_-;

.: message :.
I'm not really familiar with this character. I stopped watching Sailor Moon before Wicked Lady came in... but judging from what Toia told me, she seemed to be the evil manifestation of Reenie. I played with that... and although this lady's supposed to be arrogant and overconfident, I wanted to capture another side of her, the child within that was locked away... afraid of everything... running into the darkness overwhelmed by her loneliness. Perhaps it makes sense... hopefully it does. I just thought it would be a nice theme... and at the time, I was going through the same sorts of feelings. I was really depressed when I first started drawing this :S.

.: conclusion :.
I'm glad to have a new art piece finished. I hope you liked it too Toia-chan ^___^.

Peace. Love. Anime.

"Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited; does not act improperly; is not selfish; is not provoked; does not keep a record of wrongs; finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."
-1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

"Let everything you do be done in love."
- 1 Corinthians 16: 14

I love the background here! It's very much like a dreamscape. It suits her so well. She's so sweet and dreamy and a bit nightmarish. Her hair looks amazing too, so flowy. Dark Lady is one of my favorites.
