Artist Comment

Hello Minitokyo, it's been a while.

Started this right after "To find your flower", so it's actually the only thing I drew in almost 3 years (drawing a little every now and then, and starting from scratch countless times).

Original with 0.5 mechanical pencil on a 65x50cm grainy paper so I had to scan it in 6 times and have fun in PS. Quality is crap but I may post a closeup later.

A lot of inspiration over the years, but no ref used. I could write a book about this but I would rather hear what you feel about the pic on its own, feel free to ask/critic/etc...

Dedicated to all those who said I would never finish it, and to those around here who still remember me :) .

PS: feel free to use as wallpaper, but do not post anywhere else. Thank you!

EDIT: Thanks a lot for the highlight, it seems original art gets a lot more attention here than it used to :) .
I posted some details shots and personal thoughts on the picture on my userpage for those interested.

Highlighted

Chosen by Chloe and fireflywishes

GaiJiN makes a powerful comeback with this stunning piece of art. The shading and attention to detail is of a very high caliber, which sets it apart from the rest of the gallery. One of the few pieces in the doujinshi gallery that can be labelled as "flawless". Keep up the outstanding work!

    i thought you have done a great job in colouring them let alone drawing. those details ... man ... you got a lot patience than me!

    Though I'm sorry you seemed to have trouble over this, the wait would be worth it. This is an utterly gorgeous piece. I like that it's done monochrome. It makes all your amazing fine details really stand out. It's pieces like this that make me continue to poke around in various galleries and follow piles of links of whatever catches my eye. Thank you so much for submitting this piece.

    What a beautiful piece! Absolutely perfect light and shadow and a great texture. I love that you kept her facial features so delicate, it is a nice counterpoint to the rest of the piece. I feel that the entire piece speaks to her expression, as the mood is somber and dark, and though the picture is busy, it does not seem overwhelmed. Very nice work. ^_^

    This is... o_o incredible. I'm literally speechless at the beauty in this piece.

    Dude this is SIIIICK MAN. Your a really really good artist. I am an artist myself and I can do some pretty sick work to but I am no where near as good as you are. Practice makes perfect though. I guess. Hopefully I will get up to that point where I can act like a printing machine too. lol
