Description
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.

Hey, I really loved your picture.
I added your picture as a banner for my Gothic Lolita Accessories and Jewelry Section of my site.

I'm not selling your art work or anything or stealing it.
I added your name in credits in the picture.
I modified it a bit.
I found your picture to be best describing the type of jewelry i'm going for.
Thanks

Beautiful piece! I think the curly hair may be my favorite part after the characters.

I'm sure she did, but it helps when the artist is amazing enough to capture that beauty. c:

The black and red create a very graceful darkness on her pale skin C:

This is so awesome!
I like the characters on her neck the best, along with the colors you used.
Nice idea with the deadly sins and heavenly virtues. Usually people overlook the latter.

Well, actually, I've been meaning to disable that. I make the prints myself and that way the prices are lower AND all profits go to me instead of dA c:

The texture and focus of the image is really grabbing. The contrast between the smoothness of the neck and roughness of the surrounding area gives it great appeal.
Also, i like the thought you put into the kanji, even though I can't read any of it.

I just figured if I was going to have text in it like that, it SHOULD be meaningful. I love doing that with my work. Thank you so much though!

Well its very fitting, and any other text wouldn't be as good.

That's really pretty. I love how the hair kinda blends into the background, but makes the body stand out.
I can't believe you can do that with markers.
