Description
I call this Omina: one minute art.Not a doodle, no brainless running behind your pencil what i usually do. Making a doodle feels like ordening old images in your head, scratching something on paper and then constructing that into something that makes sense. First you give out control to your pencil/inspiration/god/bored mind, and then you look at what came out and retake control to finish it off. Or not. The most suprising and wonderful things can come out.
This is different. It's an image that exists perfectly already, you just have to put in on paper. Only you have no clue what it looks like before you start. You're stunned this comes out and at the same time it makes perfect sense. Was really made in a few minutes, bits of lighting in photoshop.
Inspired by Dali for the freedom and Picasso for new love of the human body! Look closely, every part of the body is present, especially the ones i really love myself. Bonus: a few extra tails!
Many titles are possible, i stick to a number: #1. Enjoy! Ming

I really like this, the process you described is really fascinating, and the result you came up with is really interesting to look at on its own.

'One minuet art', makes sense to me. I really like this picture, and the idea too.

There's something incredibly elegant about this pose, so that even though it looks like a rough sketch, it's a finished piece at the same time~ I love it! ^__^

Beautiful piece, great sense of form. Reminds me of Brian Froude's work, and that's a very good thing

Reminds me of Pressed Fairies. If you have not seen this work, you might want to check it out. Really humorous. In any case, really nice drawing. Great job!

Zo dat is flinke Picasso! maar wel een wat meer sierlijke. Ik moest even zoeken hoe ze nou zat, maar ik heb het gevonden en het is zeer creatief.

The pose and the flowing style are very striking.

I read a book once.. Lady Cottingtons pressed faeries, I think it was... Anyway, the illustrations in there look just like this. Anyway, well done. Really great, interesting picture.

Ming draws surrealism, something entirely different! Fluent, beautiful, loosely and sketchy drawn, still every line makes sense and perfectly fits in. I understand what you mean: itβs not an already thought through, ordinary, used up, anime kinda image, more an impression, dream or feeling. Great work, I like this even more than I like your zodiac series

GASP! I SEE PEACOCK TAILS!
I'm happy to see another addition to your gallery. Especially one as interesting as this. Ironically enough I just saw some of Dali's work, so shabbadoo! The anatomy in this piece is intriguing and the designs are gorgeous. It's really quite unique. Even for a Omina. I love how attractive the 'wings' are and the distinctive spine. The hands have a great webb texture to them too. Very nice work indeed!
