Artist's Comments

Supposed to be part of comic I'm doing. But some other idea pops up and so the plot outline* had to be rewritten and this particular page had to be scrapped.

Look of the character inspired by some doodles of Motown singers.

*Plot's not really the right word, since it's more of a stream-of-conscious piece.



**re-posted because the colours came out slightly altered after uploading.

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-04-24

Trying to pick just one image from *BkawaiN's gallery was not easy. Like most everything in *BkawaiN's gallery pageX is an amazingly unique expressive comic. The colours, lighting and textures are beautiful and the character styles is unique and amazing. (Suggested by ~MagicalClover and Featured by `misskittyoooo)

Thanks.

After drawing the pic in pencils I used acrylic paint to add texture on certain areas where I felt required a certain type of random organic texture that I don't think photoshop could really offer.

When I'm finished with that process I'd move on to photoshop and give specific sections that unnatural photoshop look (making certain areas glow, increasing contrast etc.etc.).

It's that contrasting traditional media vs. digital look that I'm going for (and have been trying to get right since my first coloured piece on deviantart).

It's a process that takes ages but one that I enjoy a lot.

The eyes are amazing. The whole piece is really impressive, but the eyes add a lot of depth to it. You have so many more opportunities for editing within the mixed media art, but it's in my opinion harder to master because of what you said: Photoshop editing doesn't make things look "real" in the same way as the traditional way with i.e acrylic paint. But then again you can make amazing eyes like these, and change colors already applied. You done it very well. Instant fav.

(Sorry if I don't express myself very well.)

Cast light upon the darkened earth. Save those lost in despair. Oh mighty ocean, guide us as we journey through the darkest pit of night. May time, ever fleeting, forgive us - we who have forsaken our song and buried our future.
