Tools: markers
Time: (including the cleaning up in photoshop ) around 7-8 hours.

Thank you!!<3
It wasn't intended to be art noveau inspired,
but I can see it when people pointed it out,
so I guess it was accidentally a good thing!
(art noveau is beautiful)

To tell the truth, I'll probably forget all about it again until another person tells me how amazing it is.

Thank you very much, and it's quite interesting for me to get comments like yours,
since i haven't gotten to study any art nouveau, and have little knowledge about it. :3
^____^ it's very fun. : DD
(gotta go google art nouveau now XD *checks* wow! it is awesome!O__O and it does kinda look art nouveau-ish..*-* )

Its most definitely fun. Its a victorian art style which means every now and then you get a naked lady. But its really pretty.

Mai-Raven In reply to EyeInfeKtions [2009-07-06 02:37:48 +0000 UTC]

it's a victorian art style? (completely uninformed.) x'D
A naked lady now and then, I can survive though P: It's the pattern, colors and shapes that are most interesting after all<3

Yeah, last term I took an art course that was semi art history, so yeah. I think it might have been around in the 1930 and I could be mixing up some of my dates....so I would really recomend getting a book from the library on it, or checking it out online, because from the look of your work you might really like it. You might like Gustav Klimt, as well he was an artist from the 1930's I believe. He adds lots of pattern type stuff. And Audrey Kawasaki is a Japanese American artist who kinda mixes art nouvuea with an almost anime look. Though I don't know if she would say that about her work, but anyways shes awesome.

I just doubled checks and I was right the first time art nouveau was from 1800-1905

nice, I have to read more about it. ^^
And I also checked out both of the artists, and I must say Audrey's art is very pretty, though not the kind of motives I'd have on my wall. XD

EyeInfeKtions In reply to Mai-Raven [2009-07-17 18:41:03 +0000 UTC]

I put up my Audrey pictures on my wall in my dorm. My mother was a little worried. [They were a few of her more risque ones lol]. But yeah, glad you liked them.
