Description This image was inspired and drawn after seeing one of the best anime films I've ever seen (although I've seen maybe, ummm, three), Spirited Away. Too bad that one cannot attach songs along with deviations, there was a particular song in that film's soundtrack that was on repeat when working on this picture. Hopefully you like!

And with this deviation, I wish all my deviant friends merry Christmas and happy holidays, and see you next year with lots of new tricks! Enjoy life!

[...although this picture isn't very Christmas-like, hmm. Well there is lots of red ]

I love this! The colors and mood are really nice. Spirited Away is a really good movie and I know what you mean about music being inspiring.

Brilliant image! I love the feel of it. the rough red circled background, the inky black eyes, and the patterns along her neck... they all work so well together.

kajessii [2003-01-16 04:23:43 +0000 UTC]

i love how the red circle fades into the background .. and the textures in general. the geisha's face is so beautiful and perfect .. so fitting for a geisha .. and the little No Face-like spirit on her shoulder alludes to japanese beliefs while at the same time associating the work with Spirited Away .. i adore it. ^^

I LOVE THAT MOVIE.

But even apart from that, this is an extremely lovely piece. The sketchy style, watercolor look, those beautiful designs... I sit in awe. And cuddle Haku. X3

talamia [2003-01-12 17:36:40 +0000 UTC]

Very very beautiful Love the vivid colours and the way you customised the geisha not sticking to the same old traditional geisha make-up. Doing something that's already been done a thousand times before is one thing but this is creativity

Just delicious...
you did an excellent job with the make up but again...and it is VERY oriental looking...
some people try to make images like this and cant pull it off...
but once again you suceed...
tremendous work here i can tell...
the details of the "doll" on her shoulder alone are remarkable...
you amaze me!!

This is really beautiful! The colours are gorgeous and I love that sort of wispy texture you've got there.

One thing I must ask though. Don't traditional geisha's paint their entire faces white?
