Description A commissioned work for
It's big A3 size in rl, beige and grey/violetish are metallic colors, so it's a bit hard to judge them form the scan.

Two weeks of meticulous work - it's part drawn, part painted and for the most part it's application with Japanese patterned paper (washi).

Enjoy!

He is a dreamweaver, the pearls are dreams, he is a curve of your imagination and perception a new angle to look at things.

Contortion is an art form, no hint of painful experience is meant in this work.

As I have posted in 's journal, I love how the metallics are used! It really brings life out of the artwork.

Whoa, this is a very unique idea... The pearls, being dreams... It's a very original concept! The details are inspirational...
I have a high interest in dreams and I dare say this one is most spectacular.

you are so sweet, thank you so much for the kind words!
Yeah, well pearls are connected to the moon in lore usually, not to mention one of my all time favorite gems^^, and the whole concept came around so spontaneously to me... it was so much fun to make!

thank you SO MUCH again^^ it means a lot!

Ok, longer comment. I'm still avoiding homework.

The blend of line and pattern for this one is truly amazing...you also have lent your sense of composition and style to a truly unique piece here, and I love how it's working for you. This one is so~ very pretty~ I can see why your comissioner wanted something like this~ only you could come up with it.

Also, the moon and the pearls....these work so well for me...oh, my, yes. They do. The shape itself is perfect...an eternal sphere formed in a circle, strewn around a beautifully arranged figure. Not to mention-- dreams? Really? COOL. I love dreams so much, and this artistic interpretation of them is so~ lovely~ and a truly beautiful representation. Each dream is, after all, precious...just like a pearl...

The rounded, flowing hair works really well for me, too. ^_^

Yes, I love this one...

the thing with washi - when you put first bits on the lineart, you start asking yourself, why you started all this? And this feeling does not let go until you finish,and suddenly you know you were right to begin^^ (if you are lucky)

pearls were the first that came to my mind, and it was arranged around it. Pearls have a connection to the moon, and they have a strange mystical aura bout them - putting them on you feel both stronger and more fragile. Very special gem to me. Dreamy~

Whoa! Standing applause for the description, Shu! Not only the drawing but the presentation is so beautiful. The scan is also beautiful, everything looks so sharp.

I still can't get enough of his beautiful face and how exotic it looks with this posture. The bend and the pattern work so ideally together, every time I look at him I wish he was real so I could huggle him <333 And I absolutely adore all of your ideas -- the little details look so perfect ^-^

Just so can't wait to hang it upon my bed and hopefully catch a lot of new bendy dreams -- haven't been seeing them lately... xD;;

Goshhh, can't even thank you enough for this, I'm so happy you agreed to work on it -- you just made this year for me! ^,^

I['m really glad you are happy with the end result, this work had been in so many ways experimental, that at times I had to hold my breath while doing another crazy thing with it^^ <3

Yush soon very soon it'll be there sending you pleasant dreams and fending off nightmares.

I need to see you on MSN tho >.>

How did you do his outfit? It's amazing. And how much does it cost to commission you?!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AoiShu In reply to Innocent-Insanity [2008-10-22 14:42:22 +0000 UTC]

outfit is washi - patterned Japanese paper.

Starting from 100$ -150$, depends on how much work, this one was more, its' A3 size and really a huge amount of work.

i also sell my prints if you are interested. Not through DA tho 15$ A4 size, photo-prints, glossy or matted.
