Artist's Comments

On one of the enveloppes I'm making for people I'll meet in England, I'm planning to give them all the drawings I've made for them in the month/years I've known them.

I delete the name so the surprise isn't fully wasted for the one who gets this one. It's my favorite (enveloppe, not friend ;p )

Critiques


:icontwinkle-stah:
This is one of the most expressive and unique pictures in your gallery. The style is unmistakably *yours* and I feel it is one of your strongest.

The background alludes to the seashore... the sandy colours + the blue... and then the fish in her hair makes me even more intrigued. Is she a mermaid or siren? :)

The fish themselves are indeed very interesting - pirahnas? And the orange colour tricks the viewer into first thinking they may be innocent, sweet goldfish. This has many layers to it. :)

The only real critique I could offer is that her neck seems to bulge a little, more like a man's neck - although I appreciate the stylisation - and the shading between her breasts seems almost too pronounced.

This is definitely one of my favourites from you, though.
Keep up the amazing work - I would love to see more slightly surreal art of this nature!

Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. I think it's in my basement... let me go upstairs and check.

Euuuh, non.

Mon père-grand avait un bouquin sur l'art nouveau dans lequel il y avait une affiche avec une demoiselle dans l'eau et des poissons rouges autour, et moi j'ai abrégé en ça. Mis effectivement ça pourrait être une allégorie de la sirène avec le côté cruel caché sous la jolie minette : )
