Artist Comment

I painstakingly prepared a nice cheerful thank you gallery description for this entry after the results came out, but I decided against it.I was also wondering if I should upload this, but I decided that I love this anyway. It has no sparkles, cute girls etc. and I put my all into this. It stays.

This is my W.A.R third round entry: I won the third round with AYAKI and scored highest for originality. Therefore I am VIRTUOSO AND LEGEND OF W.A.R thanks to this entry. I represented:
http://members.mpx.com.au/ayacigar/coordlegion.gif
YOU KNOW YOU WANNA CLICK IT.

Some people may have not been able to see the theme in mine [I thought it was very obvious though]so I decided to reach back to the official W.A.R site.

My W.A.R description was also a "non-description" that had more of my mental processes rather than explaining the theme. It didn't need a description. I did not want to restrict your freedom. But here it is:

* THE FINAL ACT [Interpretation]- the last scene/ part of a book, movie, play etc.
1. SHUNPEI- Shunpei's art looks like KABUKI costuming. [Kabuki = Japanese theatre. The Final Act = connotations of theatre, drama]
2. THE TITLE - SAYOUNARA aka Goodbye, symbolises the end in any situation.

* BITTERSWEET- Something dear to us has come to an end. We wil cherish the memories and we will never forget about it, but still in this moment we cannot but feel sad for it. It was good, but it has ended and so we cannot help but be sad now.
1. MEMORIES - The medal is a memory. ANY medal you receive for anything is a token of memorabilia.
2. NEVER FORGET ABOUT IT - Implies looking back. The orientation of the eyes: they are trying to look at each other, but can't.
3. SAD - Tears. I also changed the mouth from the original from a smile to a frown.

* TRAGIC- All things eventually come to an end. And sometimes this is not what we hoped for. Something has ended, and it has ended in a bad way/the worst possible way. Still we cannot change it.
1. WE CANNOT CHANGE IT - Die with 6 dots on every face- an inevitable fate. Nothing can be changed.
2. SPLIT PATHS - One is glorious, taking their path over water [a symbol of prosperity]. The other must trudge on land top find her own oasis. They won't meet again- tragic.

From the official site: [although this was under the expression point](use a) combination of design elements and motifs. There is loads of symbolism in there. Look beyond it. :) Overall I felt that I achieved what I needed for the intents of W.A.R - if not, it was a great experience and I improved lots :)

There was a long thank you list, but in short: UA, friends, W.A.R coordinators, contestants and the judges - you all made this happen :)

Last comments: When the competition started I never thought I'd make it this far. Semper sint in flore, ^_^V

When you cross Salvador Dali with kabuki, put it in a blender, and give it to kuroimisa, this is what comes out. Devastatingly original, artfully executed, and just plain unusual, this is a tour-de-force from a rising new star.

  9. PhoenixNox Dec 23, 2005

    very original, really awesome, but the color sare so pale and lifeless, it makes the wall look dead...

  10. tian82 Dec 23, 2005

    This is an amazing wallpaper ! I love the colour of it ! Look so beautiful and nice ! Good work and great job. Thank for sharing !

    Beautifully done and something, I would say, that is not surprising coming from Kuroimisa's talent. I am stunned by the work done here. Not only was the effect beautifully made but the time taken for this piece of art is a reason why some people in MT should be elevated for their commitments.
    Bravo K. I am truly in awe at the work done.

    Not bias opinion either. I certainly don't take that much time to comment on wallies anymore. That is IF this could actually be seen as a wallie and not ART.

    I really really love the way the colours work SO well. It's done really well.. and I love the whole abstract concept. ;)

    The extraction is SUPERB. Must've taken a lot of time.. seeing the original scan. I love the background.. this is worth a fav XD. Definately.

    Great job!

  13. perlox Feb 23, 2006

    Hokey Smokes - This is so very very nice. I think it is a prize winner, too! Thanks for giving us a look - and keep it up!

  17. Kukuru Jun 22, 2006

    Definitely one of the most original things to be seen here on MT :) It's stunning and very intriguing to look at! What you've done with the background really fits this image :)

    I really don't know what else to say but I'm liking heaps :)

    Fantastic job :)

  18. CosmoStar Feb 19, 2007

  23. evelluchia Jul 29, 2011

    nice and colorful and very interesting thanks for sharing ^-^

    i love the colors and composition here..... everything looks soft like a pillow... and its so eye catchy...
    maybe its a bit crowded, but i think its just the way it has to be to fit with the drawing style, i think it should look messy and confusing... i would only get rid of the text... but anyways its ok..
    fav!
