Lovely work as always, do you use watercolors to create these? Looks like watercolors and maybe some markers to me.

I love the watercoloring is. Very beautiful reds, it's hard for me to get the colors to come out so well from a watercolor. I admire this piece. ^^ Very well done and beautiful crafted.

don't sleep/love/live in hammocks? sadly I have nothing worth saying in comparison to what you deserve to hear. I love his wings; and find her perplexing... a desire that does not need hidden by its wanting (as having deeper than), and is left to be more natural then desire; but then how innocent is he anyway, and what of innocence. can't they just be beautiful with nothing else around to be better than. A taunt spectacle to those viewing, almost a perturbing egregious sight; though personally out of their normality, I see something beneath the vermillion luster that is far more moving of the heart-concept in mind, that is far much more companion of beauty, then even new-human beauty of sadomasochistic forms, something on the edge of devastating if it wasn't so rewarding to feel gently touched. definitely an equality, though some force of repulsion stopping the collapse, but strangely the inquisitive success, is that the repulsion is of a rare form, merely bringing them closer then anything else, let alone to be the thing which destroys. It is wonderful, and I love it; but what of sorts of love? it could be some sickness, but in my honesty I would have to say it is very delicate, so something else.

Abstract, thoughtful, provocative. No more words are needed.

how do you do it?
detail shots are amazing by the way, I still don't get how you manage so many variations of random red splotches D: But it's amazing, none the less.

Hmm a very interesting piece, i think you'll have to explain to me the symbolic connection between the two characters, its quite tough to inpterpret i think, does the hair in the mouth of the kneeling man/boy have any psychological connection to the female figure? I have been heavily inspired by much of your work in the past, but for me this seems to be a lone figure in that i can't actually decide for myself what is happening! Also a beautiful pattern on the Kimono, and a wonderful technique with the 'wispy' tail ends at the bottom of the sleeves, how did you approach that? My skills with watercolours are fairly limited, but it would be excellent to receive some technique advice from such an atoned user.
Wonderful piece. Jordie.

I think the clarification you're looking for will be given when the chapter is finished.
As far as the wispy watercolour at the ends of the sleeves, I just layered very very very light washes and it turned out this way. ^^ you have to be patient with watercolours, na.

Yes agreed, i think i shall try out some watercolour effects just on scrap to get used to it, i have always found it a very unpredictable media. Thank you so kindly for your advice, and after this news i am looking forward intently to seeing your next piece.
