Making the background lighter was a good idea, it works alot better. This is really nice work for one and a half hours. I'd like to see what you could do if you spent 5 or so hours on something. Hopefully you'll feel better soon so you can try somthing like that.

thanks you guys.. I don't know what to do to feel better - the other day a supposed Lyme specialist told me he doesn't think I have Lyme disease, this is after being told for 6 months by my regular dr. that I do and having positive test results 3 times and taking tons of antibiotics that made me nauseous every day.. so I don't know what to think anymore, just know I always hurt all over - Thinking about trying a chiropractor.
PS- I can't imagine spending 5 hours on a drawing, never have the whole time I've used 2draw, my patience just wears too thin. Usually after 1 version, I never even wanna go back to it. I would like to be able to though.

Hello 2draw! Long time no see :) Something difficult came to change my little world... but now I think it might be restoring itself , althougt very slowly. So, that means more drawings, YAY!!!

This time I used a reference Tullio Lombardo's statue of Guidarello Guidarelli. :)

Dave: Thanks. I wouldn't worry about "getting it", this one is not a puzzle or a narrative. Regardless what I meant this to express, once something is recognized as art, it's exposed to a whole universe of interpretation, no piece is safe. In regards to this piece, I would advise you to forget about who painted it and try to see it from that perspective, I think you'll find the angle refreshing. I try to approach my descriptions the same way, they're not too specific but they paint a distorted yet familiar picture, like the paintings themselves.

Makes me think of carmel candies and those tiny chocolates with liqour in them. x3 Heheh. I like it!

Wraith (edited Oct 15, 2007)

Holy cow! You actually spotted a green in this Zombii?! I did not see any green in it. Until you mentioned it Zombii. Kloxboy, you are awesome! All this time it looked like a Caramel Colored/ Grease colored drawing. You blend colors so good!

Moon Festival

Silvair (Oct 12, 2007)

Ahh sorry! Forgot to add the description!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Autumn_Festival
This is a depiction of the Mid-Autumn Festival/Moon Festival/Mooncake Festival/Lantern Festival that is practiced by many East Asians. People celebrate it to worship the moon and show reverence to dieties like Chang'e (whom I've drawn). Farmers also celebrate the end of the summer haversting season with this occasion.

I based the picture off of a few lines in the version 4 of the stories of the Mid-Autumn Festival, found on wikipedia:
"Although Houyi wanted to shoot her in order to prevent her from floating further, he could not bear to aim the arrow at her. Chang'e kept on floating until she landed on the moon.While she became lonely on the moon without her husband, she did have company. A jade rabbit, who manufactured elixirs, also lived on the moon."

And I also based it off of the wikipedia images depicting the characters of Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit.
