Ukoku Sanzo: Narrow Abberation
BACKCHAT: 31/05/07: For a long while now since my return to MT, I thought it would be an interesting endeavour to look again through the very first submissions within our gallery and review them in a modern and perhaps maturer light. Let's talk about this piece here for a minute:
The colours were all there. I like blues and water effects but what water and blue has to do with Ukoku Sanzo is
relatively little save for an illustration Minekura produced within Saiyuki Reload Vol.
6 where Ukoku was shown smiling amid a backdrop of water droplets. Truthfully I didn't entirely get a chance
to meet the character properly until I read Saiyuki Reload Vol 2 - 3 I'm
still in love with the artwork. But that's just my passion for Minekura speaking. I know now that the Japanese
character to the left of the work reads 'Darkness'. However, at the time, this work did what it had to even if
I don't entirely agree with what it does right now.
UV
===============================
Dark & Stylish.
Priest Ukoku Sanzo, a man whose intellect proceeds his madness. Once a priest of the highest order, now known as Dr.
Nii, a trump card in the hand of the Sanzo gang's adversary party. His intelligence and his instability illustrate
him to be a diamond in the rough of diabolical minds. His fatal charm and mild manner confuses how he was ever a Sanzo
priest and yet this stunning illustration serves to throw a stone in the lake of our reason.
This particular piece contains an original scan from a Reload manga novel as it's primary imagery. Ukoku's
beautiful characteristics are adeptly illustrated here with his warm smile and desirable fingers nursing a cigarette.
The force behind the water droplet and blood splatter effects was purely a twist of inspiration that amounted to this
Noir artwork.
CG Rendering, multi-layered brush work and gradient effects have brought this simple but powerful piece to life. A pleasure to construct from start to finish.
Enjoy! :)

Hi There Rene,
That isn't a bubble over his eye and hands, that's a series of water droplets. I felt they gave the work an abstact effect. Indeed it is a little 'weird' and that's exactly what I was aiming for. :) -
