Description Had to do this for Filosophy. 'Give your own intrepetation of Plato's cave story'

So.
It's about the shadowworld in which we live. This is the other side of it. The negative.

I don't really know how to explain
I kinda used Matsumoto as a reference for the girl

I had this background lying around for years and I waited for an oppertunity to use it. I sketched over it and then used Chinese ink to extract only the figures with the background. Lovely technique, I really recommend doing this. I did this before in [link] (painting of the background is actually made THAT same day in 2006 )

Acrylics paint, Chinese ink.
Time taken: about 3-4 hours
Photo damaged the colours a bit, but the damage isn't that great.

This is wonderful, auto fav. Only one thing wrong with it... her boobs aren't big enough for matsumoto. But it is sooo beautiful, you're amazing.
