Description I realized it's been quite a while since I've uploaded something (almost a month? ), and longer still since I've uploaded something that isn't brown(!), soooo... *sticks this up* Something blue!

I didn't really think I would show this here. So incredibly, cheesily cliched and overdone this is! But, oh well!

Medium: Watercolours, gouache and silver on wasli

So whenever one is short of time and has an impending exhibition of doom looming over one's head, what does one do? Make a typical elvern instrument player! Actually she was a scrapped doodle of a character that shall appear in another painting who got painted in... not such a doodley manner.

(To be more exact - this lady here is one of those who leads the procession of festive non-humans with her music to the very jolly demon queen. And then they all have a party. End story. X'D )

I love both brown as well as your attacks with shades of blue (ultramarine, GO! XD) - this might truely be nothing very new, but I like it nonetheless. especially the detail on the clothes!

Say what you want, I love it! Especially the the aqueous, foresty-ness of it. It's so refreshing to look at. Like... mint and cool water? ... you get the flow? Yeah, I bet you didn't. What I meant to say is that I love love love it! (especially the colors!)

I'm glad you uploaded it!

I did an instrument player too a while back. Except it's ugly and muddy brown the complete opposite of this.

I don't think this exhibition is in Lahore? I wish I could see this in 'IRL'. *can't make out where the silver is* but it's pretty as it is, nevertheless!

Yakra In reply to merriya [2008-07-01 12:53:33 +0000 UTC]

I preferred to think of it as a drattedly overly colorful peacock! X'D I started off thinking I wanted a person with green hair and then... couldn't figure out what on earth to do next! :'D

The exhibition is over actually! (Quite ancient, this painting is!) Should be, atleast! I mean, I so didn't care about these two I made for it that I still haven't checked with the gallery. X'D It was here in Islamabad - Nomads. But oh ho! I'm so glad you can't see this in real! I was in quite a woonky blingy mood when I was getting this framed and so for some reason, I kept the thin strip of a double mount silver! Ack! *people get blinded by cheapiness!*

The silver is in her shoes by the way. XD *loves shiny shoes*

Thank you though! Ooo... fave? *shock!*

I missed your instrument player? Where is it? *goes off to look*

merriya In reply to Yakra [2008-07-02 05:39:28 +0000 UTC]

I like peacocks! And a fav? Why not?

It has...

a) an Elf
b) tree's/forests
c) Me 'favoritest' colors!
d) flowy rythmy-ness (he lines are so incredibly beautiful!)
e) and a lot of other lovely stuff that my dear old brain fails at describing!

Ooh, bling~ I want to see the other painting too now.

Instrument player never got uploaded

Yakra In reply to merriya [2008-07-13 15:26:58 +0000 UTC]

I want to see this un-uploaded instrument player! D: We demand it!

And while I'm pulling off such lordly commanding-ness I should move my lazy self and get to commenting on some of your works rather than merely declaring 'Ooo!' to my monitor

arashi-yukawa [2008-07-01 03:36:06 +0000 UTC]

what, you got bored with brown? XD the faces are definitely a great touch, which makes it not as cliche as you thought XD~

so when is this impending exhibition of doom?

Yakra In reply to arashi-yukawa [2008-07-01 13:15:54 +0000 UTC]

Nah! I'm actually currently working on a VERY brown painting! I just figured my gallery would get totally get swallowed up in muddy colors! X'DDD The impending exhibition of doom has actually already impended! :'D It was last month and just finished... it should have finished today actually. I hated this painting so much though, that I shoved it aside, vowing never to show it to anyone/anyplace! (But while going through all of my recent works, I figured this was the only truly non-brown thing (and I didn't hate it with as much passion as I did before!) soooo... it got put up here!)

arashi-yukawa In reply to Yakra [2008-07-01 15:27:06 +0000 UTC]

I see! XD last month and just finished... sounds like a long exhibition?

I know how that feels, hating your own work XD Although I usually end up submitting it, because I don't want to waste my effort on drawing something nobody would look.

just-joey [2008-07-01 01:48:30 +0000 UTC]

XD...it took me a moment before i saw the faces on the trees...but that's a great touch. gives the picture a little extra something. ^^

and really, the background colors are perfect - gives a good sense of depth...and such a pretty shade of blue <3
And I love all the detailed patterning on her robes and tights...

Another awesome art piece here! ^^

Yakra In reply to just-joey [2008-07-01 13:34:00 +0000 UTC]

I actually had fits about the patterns on her tights. X'D I had this mad idea to use gold paint and somehow that wouldn't apply nicely at all! Too blobby and... well blobby it was! D: But thanks a lot! I'm actually really, really shocked how everyone actually likes this? I mean... why do you all love the stuff of mine that I declared failures?! X'D

just-joey In reply to Yakra [2008-07-05 23:53:30 +0000 UTC]

The real question is...why do you declare so many of your works as failures? XP

There's something special in whatever you create...even if it doesn't come out as you intended...everything is still such a beautiful mix of your spirit and creativity and your amazing talent. How can we not love it? ^_^

Yakra In reply to just-joey [2008-07-13 15:24:47 +0000 UTC]

...Because they are? XP Its funny how the works of mine I do like though aren't that popular. *has bad taste?*

Eh heh heh... you're very good at convincing me to like my own work though!
