Why is Ledsen mistreating the curtains?
I have no lore-story behind that, and absolutely no idea. I was googling for funny stuff and came across aerialists photographs. It was so damn cool that I just had to draw something like that.
I have the impression that I had this one one WIP for ages, so I was very surprised this morning when I thought I had finished it.
Yet, something was missing. So, I asked my husband about his opinion "What should I add?" And he answered: "Sakura petals". Probably because he is missing those very much, and is in a moment of nostalgia about them. My husband doesn't draw himself, but he has an eye. His dad is a freelance artist, so he is used to give advice, and he is actually quite good at it.
However, here, at first, I was doubting the idea and told him the scene was taking place inside a building, and no sakura tree was in the area, also the window is closed. Adding a petal-shower would have no sense. He pointed out very rightfully that I didn't even know what the guy was doing up there, so why bother about sense? Haha! True XD The thing is, I have the same nostalgia as him about sakura, and I started to like the idea very much. So, I added this sakura-shower... and I messed it!! XD Because I'm an idiot who sooo much wanted to finish this piece that I went straight ahead, without even thinking composition, where I should place them, the direction they should take or anything. I just went on. And regretted that I was not doing this on photoshop...
Nevertheless, I think that the result is still better than it was; and I still love the idea of the petal-rain inside a building XD
I have kept a scan of the previous version, that I will post, too, so that you can decide which one you like most. What is your opinion?
Ps: after hours of watching scholagladiatoria on youtube, Ledsen's arming-swords have turned into jians
