Description My part for the april art trade event. And for once i'm actually early. Ten days ! Where is our world heading to?

So this is character Rah in Klimt style.



The theme was Art Nouveau. I think that the first thing that pops to someone given this is Mucha. Well i know this happens with me.
But i just didn't felt like going with the traditional intricate floral designs ans symmetry and everything. Mostly because i can't pull off symmetry even if my life depends on it...Anyways! On we go with Klimt! And i'm glad i went that way. This on is mostly inspired by this piece [link]

As for the designs on her dress i've copied them from works of a really great greek painter called Yannis Moralis (wiki-attack is here [link] ) and you can find most of them in google [link] I just love the way he represent the human form through geometric shapes. And that's the main reason why i think they fitted the Klimt style.
And well the red line on her face. That's just me.
I loved making this one! Learned a lot too both for Klimt and painting.


Lineart is made traditionally colours are all photoshop CS5 and mousey. Another 80%-20% traditional-digital.


Well hope you like it dear!!!!
Rah belongs to

P.S the ribbon says 'Suffer for fashion'. Cause *sunbearable 's character did suffer for fashion in my hands lol and cause i love Of Montreal.
And sorry for the double post

This is absolutely gorgeous!!! Im not sure who makes the "Klimt style" or who he is, but the detail, shading, and beauty of this piece is utterly amazing! And... you made this with a mouse

Thank you ! The lineart is traditional and it was super clean so colouring for once wasn't that much frustrating. You most definitely should check Klimt out. He's one of the most famous representatives of the Art Nouveau style of art. His style is really unique, ethereal and full of symbolisms not to mention those amazing colours.

That is so beautiful, unique and stuck out more than any other picture in my messages. It looks like it was painted on a traditional canvas. The colors are vibrant, warm and lively. Great job!

Yaaay!! I'm so glad!! I took so many liberties with your beautiful character and i was worried i changed her too much.

Thank you dear. I'm so happy you liked it really.

You never cease to amaze me. You create in so many styles and you do it perfectly and what is most incredible you are still able to maintain yourself in all those artworks. It's Art Nouveau but it's your nouveau.
It's absolutely wonderful (and I like it much more than the art of Klimt)

Thank you! Thank you very much honestly! I'm glad i could pull off Klimt's style and that mine shows too. To be honest i thought it didn't show any personal style so hurray!

The fun fact is at first i didn't like Klimt much but as of late i'm totally in love with his paintings and i wanted to pay a worthy hommage to his colourful creations.

Mechanicold [2011-05-19 18:03:43 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I'm just going to say it, and I hope I don't get flamed, but I think that with this piece here you just put Klimt to shame. I love his stuff, but this is just amazing. I love the colors and it's so clear and saturated. I like the shading in all the right places, and I love the look on the girl's face.

pixie-on-mushroom In reply to Mechanicold [2011-05-20 18:53:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh don't say that! I'm nowhere near Klimt for sure. Thank you very much for all your awesome words!
