Artist's Comments

Ohoho. So this is the final panel of my piece. This took the least amount of time to complete, as it was a purely spontaneous sort of thing. There was no sketching prior to the actual painting process. The lines were done in black ink with a calligraphy pen, dried, and then painted over with diluted acrylics.

I love ink.

I actually wanted to use watercolour, but since the art room didn't supply it, I mixed water with acrylic paint instead. It gave off the same effect (I think), so I was happy. Um, my second ever try with a watercolour-like medium. So, yes, I know it's pretty basic stuff, but it turned out sort of pretty (from afar). I like it, I think.

Seeing as this was scanned in before I added the final touches with white ink, I used some brushes in Photoshop to add that effect. So -- it's much more traditional art oriented.

Err. Black ink & diluted acrylic paint.

You're here in the dark, in a little box, with a fella' who might know less than you. And you'll go on home and lock the locks, another box to climb into...

You have got such a good eye. I love the colour play in this.

One ping to rule them all,
One ping to find them,
One ping to bring them all,
and in the darkness bind them.

TCP/IP style.
Peace out.

-It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life.-

Ooo. Man, you do such neat and funky stuff. The colours (which I love the blending and vibrance of) and the swirly lines remind me of a sunset over the water. It's neat how that butterfly managed to sneak in without disrupting the feel, too.
