Three, four hours? Actually, I haven't a clue


Rambling Backstory
This one actually began as sort-of fanart for The Meek (Not sure why, just the girl and the jungle-ness... )
Then it became an androgynous sort of fellow, gold eyed, pointed of ear, and with green in the background.

Then I added the whole 'curling and dissolving on the wind' part... and it was a wind sprite, an efreet, a dust god.

Then I looked at it for awhile, and realised it reminded me quite strongly of something. Thought very carefully about what:
A certain pretty girl, who I remember occasionally with a shock is (meant to be) Indian. And a false face, and a world crumbling and all kinds of dissolution and change, and wind...

But who? What fits that descript-aha! And then I remember that I was looking through my Utena artbook last night >.>


So I added rose petals, and changed her eyes to blue, and added purplish tints to her hair (at which point, the green really had to go)
EDIT: aaargh. Looked at the artbook in proper daylight and discovered her eyes were actually green (My 'net was down at the time so that was my only reference)... may see if I can fix.

(I guess I have to draw Utena now? )

I like the title you have up there better than Wind. It fits better.
Wonderful!!

Oh good - 'Wind' was the 'working title' - it fitted whle I was painting it, but I thought wasn't *quite* right for the final. SO thank you!

Thank you!
It was worrying to draw, because I'd do a nice sweep and then mess up and it would go crooked

So yes, I like

Oh Anthy...

Great piece! interesting direction of the hair and rose petals. Oh and the purple streaks in her hair were a nice touch.

Flynn-the-cat In reply to Monostasis [2009-06-19 00:22:10 +0000 UTC]

yes. I liked Utena better, actually, but I'm having trouble drawing pink >.>

And thank you! (I was wondering if the purple was overdoing it)

With Anthy it's more of a Sympathy thing.

Juri would be my favourite.
