Description Fan art of Jigoku Shoujo.

I often wondered why Ai seems so sad, and thought perhaps one day when all the tainted souls had paid for what they've done, they'll be ascending to heaven and finally lift the burden off Ai.

Tried it with a different coloring method, first greyscale, then colored it using overlay layers in photoshop.

Wow. I can`t believe this...excellent picture! And the idea is also great. I liked the series a lot, and I found a lot of deviations related to Jigoku, but this one stands out!!!!

Lovely perspective.

That technique you used is not something I want to redo with traditional stuff. Bloody hard!

Cool! I always wanted to try that grayscale method thingamajigger, I think the colors definitely look nice and saturated.

Beaaauuuutifuul!
The lighting's so awesome X3
I hardly ever see fanart of Jigoku Shoujo, though I'm not sure why since it was a good series in my opinion.. hm.

i see what you mean about the lighting---just a hair to dull considering the bold light source of the lantern.

but the composition is well crafted. That old man's face is my favorite part

If you watch the entire series, and the second season, you find ut why Ai is so sullen and why she is the Jigoku Shojo ;D But I don't want to spoil it for you

FINALLY someone does some absolutely stunning Jigoku fanart! Of course, thinking Ai will ascend is a bit naive after the end of the second season...but I won't say any more than that. :3

Not really, the series ends after second season. I really hate how it's all over...and the live-action version of it is total trash.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

look In reply to Onmyouza [2007-07-19 04:00:24 +0000 UTC]

Live action is always crappy. One thing I don't understand was, AI in the anime series look like a junior high kid, or even an elementary, but in the live action screen shots I've seen, the actress is like at least 16. Why can't they choose a younger girl. T T
The other three seems pretty fit for the image though.

Onmyouza In reply to look [2007-07-20 03:06:12 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, and I love how they made Ichimoku Ren really sexy, and Honne-ona was pretty good-looking too...but I mean, they really, really, REALLY messed up Ai. She isn't pretty, she isn't very good at acting, the only thing she has down is the voice, and even that isn't the best. It was just shameful, terribly terribly shameful, for me to be such a big Jigoku fan and then have to watch that crap.
