I
Curse the day I laid eyes on you
Curse the day I held you beside me
Curse the day I lay beside your tender heart
Curse the day I heard your beating heart
Curse the day I never had the care in the world
Curse the day I fell in love with you
Curse the day I lay these flowers on you
Curse the day you died in my arms
and curse the day i was left standing to walk alone...

Listening to Godless ~ Dandy Warhols
Habibi ~ (forgot the arabic singers name)
Nessu Dorma ~ Luciano Pavarotti
Sikidim ~ Tarkan
Imaginary ~ Evanescence

So basically this is the PRE- submission to the Schattenrand : Arete/Amano contest Omni has placed upon us few wallers to participate and yeah i forgot to nominate this scan for submissionsfor the wall but alas i forgot and somehow lost treack of time since my real life is gettin gbetter i guess or worse... o_o I choose this work by Amano (Kudos to DREAM for this scan) because he can trully draw the motherly loving face or a true princess type of female character since most of his women drawings are fair and beautiful... nothing much i did on this wall but i experimented with a few brushes and mostly colour, having to make the background serene and wonderous while having to keep the original colour of the image itself at a stand still.

More details of the contest, rules and entries are right here on the main group page : http://schattenrand.minitokyo.net/ but its too late to join sorry. >_>

Oh yeah you can say this is my HAPPY VALENTINES wall for you peeps! may you find the love your looking for while i be the black knight to save the damsels in distress who are bethrothed to someone else but fall in love with the hero.... A sad and lonely road for me aye! >__>

Anyway might show this in Imanimetions.net since its beautiful or just keep it for myself because of my arrogance hahaah! but hope you like it! ^__^

    Great matching of the background color and texture to the scan...the white flecks in the background echo the veil which really helps connect the scan to the background and keeps it from feeling empty
    The text feels like it should be down a tiny bit so it's not grazing her collar, but that's more a personal feeling :)
    A lovely Amano wall

    really cool and unique

  14. KorganoS Feb 16, 2006

    Oh, crazy details on this one XD
    I'm not an expert of grunge so, I can only hope that you'll win the contest. Wub the colors very much, and the unique textures used. Very nice work, OA.

  15. flyindreams Feb 16, 2006

    Beautifully done, OA :D Stunning colors, and you brought out the softness of Amano's original artwork so nicely... the only thing that bothers me about this is the composition, which seems slightly awkward, but I don't think there's anything you could've done about it haha... xD Wonderful job, I'm totally digging your recent works xD

  16. Emma Feb 17, 2006

    Love it! So like a painting! Love that style of art and you did an excellent job with the colors and blending of brushes. Goodness, I can't stop gazing at this. Very entrancing and lovely work with composition and colors. Definitely like how the sky colors 'bleed' into each other. *swoons*
    And Happy Valentines to you too! Thanks for the sweet Valentine's gift *happy and hugs Oracle*

  17. euna Retired Moderator Feb 17, 2006

    oh wow... what a wall.
    i just luv the style and concept.
    looks fantastic.
    i really like the gradient you used. it just goes with the wall so well, providing that fuzziness and warmth.
    beautiful work. *fav*

  18. Midori-chan Feb 17, 2006

    Woooo... I love how you've added the art a totally new look - reminds a bit of the Renaissance paintings, but with more colour...
