Description "I am my lover's and my lover's mine;
he browses among the lillies."
Song of Songs 6:3

Feel so off not updating in awhile so I was gonna just put this is scraps but I fiddled around with it in Photoshop (hence throwing it in the digital art section). Updating failures include lack of time, abundance of homework, and artistic stalls...I can' think of what to draw and I don't have enough time to really concentrate so everything I draw is like meh o.< but it always happens every so often, nothing one can really do 'cept keep drawin' ^.^

The picture here has some inclusion of sadness and pain from Awa's personal life, and then a dash of randomness (hence the cupcake on her head ^.^) but randomnosity makes it all better....for truth and I actually fit the scripture with the picture after I had already inked it (lucky that).

At first I was gonna have a guy holding a flower...then it was girl in a kimono. Now, there's a lot of ignorant debate about Americans drawing anime (more like uneducated insults, but nontheless) as I draw in this "manga/anime" style it's my personal goal to try and veer away from all of the japanese-influenced outfits, costume, makeup....and all that whatnot so I usually just draw hobos, or Americanized gentleman and my women look like they come from the 1920's (a personal time-line favorite ^.^). Therefore, I have my own style, though foreignly influenced it screams "this is my background". And I'm just throwing that out there, you may digest it as you wish ^.^

I LOVE the ink birds, so symbolic. The flower really looks like it's blowing in the wind, too. This is superb, I'm so impressed that I will use this face:

Very neat. I'm digging the swirly-things on the bottom, and for some reason, the hair on the back of the girls' head caught my attention. It's been done well.
Beautiful coloring, too by the way.

Pretty as hell! I like the feeling of surrealism in it.
The flower swirlies and the black birds are gourgeous!

Very pretty. Love the style.. Colors are a bit faded but I get the feeling that's to go with the mood of the pic. Not really my taste, but for those who like that sort of thing, well they'd like that alot.
