Description
Originally just one girl, but I added two more for the hell of it.Very loosely based off the Moirae. Loosely being the key word.
Actually kind of interesting how this picture evolved. It's been hanging around in my sketchbook for a while, and I rather liked it.. It was supposed to be more of a snowy, winter-y feel but ah, things changed, what can I say?
I apologize for the shoddy background work. I tried painting the background without masking fluid, but failed, so I then tried WITH masking fluid, but didn't do a very good job applying it. Hence some areas that are mysteriously white and don't have a lot of layers of paint.
Layout was inspired by this particular picture. It just worked with what I originally had on here, haha.

Uwaaaah, so not a watercolor expert though. I should try out more techniques and stuff because I'm barely scratching the surface! ;o
And yeah, I'm trying to mix the two together so it's not super awkward looking! I always tried and kinda gave up in the end and leaned one way or another, but I think I'm starting to figure out how to combine the two....

Very interesting! I like how you been mingling patterns and shapes for a composition in your work as of lately and it is made specially interesting in this one as you mix it with the figures. Though it has a gloomy vibe, it is a very beautyful work to look at. I liked the mix of colors in the background too, it adds a lot to the overall feeling of this piece, and that color range is something I wish I thought up for a backscene. Love it!

Yeah, I've been trying to combine patterns into my drawings without making them seem like 2 separate things. I'm still trying to figure out how to put the two together without the patterns swallowing up the people or clashin.
I believe I drew the original sketch of this while I was depressed sometime a couple of months ago, so I guess the gloom transferred over, haha.
But thanks so much, it's always good to hear from you!

Love it! The geometry and colors and style are just all very original. Looks like it was fun to do!

Yeah, I really like doing this line-less yet geometric style of painting. It's just a very slow process, haha. ((I'm probably just a slow worker though))
It was pretty fun to do. C:

I can imagine! I think it'd be slow for anyone heh. Keep up the awesomeness though (:
