A gift for
Really late, but I absolutely felt like doing her Manami with my Liquid watercolors. I guess I wanted to paint the strong, dark colors of her design, so there you are. I took some artistic freedom with her dress (because shoulders are sexy!), as well as with the hair and tried to get an understanding of how her hairdo works... I kinda like the result. :] URGH. Painting a person and details with my liquid watercolors was a pain, because the watercolor would morph and move all over the picture during drying and... urgh. it's alright for backgrounds but I shall not try it on details anymore! About the Character: This is Manami, the Girlfriend of ~mlang 's Sho from our SNT RP. I guess 90% of you probably thought now that she's a geisha but she's not... not quite at least, she works at a teahouse/brothel thing. That's quite a difference, look it up kids. Sho wanted to free her from that place but someone sent killers after him so he had to flee himself and left Manami behind D,: *crai* I'm not sure whether he had the chance to say goodbye, so I thought maybe she's wondering about why he doesn't visit her anymore and miss him. The background is also a little symbolic here, the cranes have become some kind of symbol for Sho, and since I couldn't put anything reminding her of him in the foreground anymore, I tried to put the cranes on the paper wall in the background so it LOOKS like she's looking at them. *SMRT* 8D Time /// HOURS Media /// Ecoline Liquid Watercolors, Schmincke Watercolors, black ink, glitter gel pen Character /// Manami © ~mlang Title /// Taken from Kate Nash's "The Nicest Thing" (... I listened to it while painting and there was also the bit "I wish you had a favourite beauty spot that you loved secretly because it was on a hidden bit where nobody else could see" xD ) |

I can't TELL you how much I adore her hair, the background screen paintings, and the colorrrrrs. You've got such a graceful touch. *_*

Umm, do my faces always look like what you say? o_O That would come quite as a surprise - I only tried to make Manami here look sorta asian.
