Artist's Comments

This was entered into VASE and got a perfect score but didn't go to state. ;_;

It was inspired by a girl on the streets of Harajuku. I had to kind of rehash her image in my head, but I used a friend of mine, Hillaire, as a model. The only thing about this that looks like her now is structure and curly hair X3

The characters on the left side of her neck are the seven deadly sins, the right side is the seven heavenly virtues.

mixed media: mainly gouache and prismacolors.

Oh, funny story, I was looking on the internet and randomly found a picture of some chick with her face painted like that and down her neck. I wonder, could it have been the one that inspired you to do this? Cause she was all asian and it was pictures of that one train station all the make-up people...s go. Yeah, I've completely lost my train of thought and can't remember anything.

): I wish I knew what the characters meant.

Is a pretty piece though. Her pale skin contrasts the black and red quite nicely.

Find it for me! I caught a fleeting glimpse of the girl on TV and I'd love to see it.

The left side of her body is the Seven Deadly Sins, the right side is the Seven Heavenly Virtues. :heart:

Awesome work.

I'm a sucker for spiral-like movement...

Great inspiration there for sure. Have you read "White Fluffy Clouds"?

Good stuff there too.
