Artist's Comments

@_@...so many days of looking at yellows, oranges, pinks, and reds...at ALL the colors that drive me insane. So why was I working with these insanely bright colors? Good question...

Well, I'm still working with the same media--colored pencils with acrylic touch ups (the transparent frills and the pretty white dots). Geez, even though I took the pic into Photoshop, the colors are still not quite true to the original...Hmm, maybe I should try a CG next...

I was inspired by Zashiki Warashi's design, from xxxHolic. The girl is NOT her, by the way. She's actually just a random daffodil nymph ^^ I've always wanted to draw a girl with that hairstyle in a flowing kimono.

...and fear not, Pink Turtle and Joan, I definately am working on the art trades. I want to draw as much as I can before school starts! (This is the part where I jump up and pump my fist into the air while shouting "GANBATTE!!!!!" XD)

The coloring, once again, is magnificient! Seriously, how long do you spend working on a piece of yours, three weeks? o.O
But hey, check the lenght of her arm. I mean it is waaaay too long to look natural. Otherwise, the pose looks nice.

Thanks!! ^^ I'm not sure how long I took on this since I worked on this on and off. It took a while, due to my laziness and slow pace. This is one of the reasons why, if I ever took commissions, I would never charge by the hour. As for the pose, I tried to pull the lower body back and tried to bring out the upper body, but I think I failed if you're commenting on the arm like that....^^;;
:iconmobicca:
omg, this is so super gorgeous! O__O
I can't believe someone is actually capable of creating something so beautiful! :O
Really REALLY nice:heart:
And the colors are the best when they are bright. :D

My goodness. The sheer detail and the fact that this is most likely much larger in reality simply baffles me. Everything from the contrast of checkered ribbon against floral kimono sleeves to the simple shadowed background.

It is simply beautiful, and your attention to detail is commendable. I know I could never work on something like this, and pull off such a complete looking piece. An absolute favorite.

It could be worse.

The colours, the drawing, the awesomeness... just Wow.
