Artist's Comments

SEED2 speedpaint. 1.5hrs

A further exploration of the last concept. Cleansing the soiled earth by reaching for the purity of light.

Quite a few people mentioned on my last entry that it reminded them of the spirit god from Princess Mononoke. Of course I absolutely adore that movie and am humbled that my work could even remotely be compared to that of Miyazaki. I can't say I thought of his work while I painted, but who knows where the sneaky subconscious mind comes into play.

Want to add here. This was done while listening to: Kokia: Oto with Reflection. I have always wanted to do a picture to this track as it drives my muse absolutely wild. The song itself has such an eerie feel in the way it is sung; the lyrics themselves being Japanese but sung backwards.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback, I'm having a blast with these speedpaints and you guys are giving me the excuse to continue them!

This work is awesome with all the letters...from A to the last E.

btw: People now these days tend to associate everything artist do as a small "copy" from series,movies,etc.
It becomes annoying. It's like no one can have a random idea without it get associated to something else ._O

Miyazaki FTW

Oh I think people mean it as a compliment and I take it as that ^_^. Frankly we all make associations and most anything 'new' created is either inspired by or can be compared to something else...and theres nothing wrong with that, as long as people don't say "you copied', because imo that makes people afraid to follow their creativity freely.

Beautiful control of the light. Even against the lighter upper part of the pic, the creature's glowing antler tips are clear.

I love how it looks like the creature is sprouting from the ground, giving life to the earth and all. Great job with the monotones~ ^_^
