Artist's Comments

A watercolor painting for the 100 Pics Challenge. Done for the last theme on the list, number 100: Gone.

I kind of like this... while at the same time I also hate the whole painting.
Oh, and since painting the picture kind of ruined what was supposed to be the main thing in the whole image... What the ghost-like person is holding upon his/her heart is a dead bird.

"Flap your wings, lil' bird, make my heart beat again. Do not allow it to be gone forever by escaping from my broken chest."
Hehe, just your rotten luck the bird's long gone as well.

Oo, just your style :3 and I love blue. Nicely abstract. But hey I just realized... where's my Ginko, you lazyass? ArrRghh.

Ah, I have love-hate feelings toward some of my works as well. I love that I completed it and everything works well, but I hate it's inaccuracies and minor mistakes....

For this piece, I really like that you stuck to a blue color scheme, emphasizing the loneliness of the theme. The abstractedness also adds to the piece, making it more of a thinking piece rather than an illustrated point of view.

Superb job and keep it up (^-^)!

It's beautiful and terrifying. I love how the colors look, you're such a talented colorist.

Man...I meant to comment ages ago ;__;
I do love this! It looks so cold and dark...fits very well with the 'gone' theme. And for watercolors, it looks amazingly vibrant! At first I thought it was acrylics...but well. My watercolor usually looks pale -.-

I honestly don't think there is anything that would better represent the concept of "Gone" than this piece does. You caught the exact feeling and the exact message... The story and idea behind it is truly striking. I love the effect you got, and the textures. But overall the pure expression and... well, the story one percieves while looking at it just says everything. I love the lines coming out of the bird. They radiate the feeling that he is trying to hold on and bring back what's gone, even though it's hopeless.

Ah, it's ok.. I haven't been online on dA for ages myself anyway! Haven't been commenting at all lately... I'm just too damn busy, and tired, to do that. But after I get all this school stuff outta my head I can start hanging around on dA more often again.

I understand that all too well -.- Soon school will start again, and then I'll have to concentrate on that...hehe, one of the reasons why I took arts as main subject is that I'll be able to combine hobby and school work ;-P Same with English...I think I've chosen well for the following year, at least I hope so..

Ahhaha... I am so sorry about that Ginko drawing... ^^; I just never get it done right so I haven't even tried in a while. But I could try to get it done next weekend... I'll force myself to get it done, once and for all! >8B Rawr!
