Artist's Comments

another piece for the lovely lovely :iconmidgetgem:
I originally painted the traditional maiko makeup on the character's face, though I later decided against it but still want to keep the title anyway...it is yet another attempt to immerse 2D & 3D elements together with lots of Far Eastern, more specifically, Japanese influence


PS CS3

edit; fixed the collarbone

nicely done! :) I especially like her hand and the folds of the cloth... and the background... and frick it's all good ^_^
:icontazbash:
her fingers are the best ive seen from you, but i think the joints should be more defined where the fingers meet the rest of the hand. the frame-pattern overlapping the dress is somewhat distracting. however - these critiques are minor and the painting looks great as it is.

the embroidery? is stunning..
i love how you mixed the drawing elements with the more realistic figure/dress. it looks like watercolour almost.

hot damn! you've grown fast girl! :headbang:

I know your works are never disappointing haha...
It seems that the only western thing is the girl. All the rest is Japanese or at least oriental, right ?
and... HOW THE HELL could you paint those patterns on her kimono ???
Fav :D.

This is great. Her hand looks awesome. There is just one thing that's bothering me: her right cheek comes out a bit too much, if you take away a bit of that it might even show her cheekbone off more and make the face not look a bit awkward... I think this would make everything perfect.
Keep it up! :D

Damn you're good!

thank you so much! I swore I had commented on one picture of yours on GFX, the one with a lady and a shell on her ear one, I forgot the name already, but apparently I hadn't and you unpublished your works :( oh well...at least you have your works here ;)
I did try to make the girl look quite Asian, with a Hoang Nguyen-esque stylization, but apparently not :P
I've explained how I do embroideries on my tutorial here ;)

thanks! did you request for the print for Cherry Blossoms as well? I am going away for a week from tomorrow, so i'll submit them as prints by the end of this month...not sure if Gemma(my client) would let me submit this one as print, though, but I will ask her
:iconkay-ness:
thank you so much :hug:
