Description I painted this illustration for the German Manga&Anime magazine "Koneko".

The girl is a character of my story "Nebelmeer" which was published in "Paper Theatre 7".

By the way: If you fancy Indian cloths as me, you may like the photo series I did with a friend.

I like how the placing of her hand could be interpreted as though she's either pushing her hair out of her face or she's being shy. The detail on her clothing and jewelry is also very beautiful!

I was talking about Banaras A Mystic Love Story. You gotta see it, but it's a tear jerker.

The Ganges won't be there forever, if it keeps being polluted. There should be a campaign to "purify" it.

Thank you!
Actually I rather thought of the Ganges when I painted this picture. But I think there's the same problem with pollution. It's a pity, really.

Anyhow, I didn't intend to depict a real existing river, but the Ganges was definitely a major inspiration.

Livanya In reply to BentKatana [2010-09-16 23:07:39 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! ^^ I needed several trials of the perspective until the girl, the stairs and the background seemed to fit each other somehow.

Huh, water's difficult! ^^° Even now I think I should have used more reflections.
But thanks!
