Fan art: AoixUruha&Miyavi
My tummy hurts *in pain*
I was about to go and get some sleep&pain killers but since Imageshack didn't go all bitchy on me, I thought I should post these before my luck changes^_^
The first one is the greatly gushed AoixUru picture the people on my other flist have already seen, and the second one is about no one else but Mr Selfish Love himself.
These pictures are both A2, pretty big, to say in other words. Scanning them would've been impossible, so lightly picture manipulated photographs will do. Uruha is slightly greenish, just ignore it, okay?^^ I blended two photos into one there and for some reason the Uru one refused to change its color despite all the photo-fixing tools I put it through.
l_van -once I promised I'd dedicate a picture for you and here it is; the Miyavi one is for you and lapsusxlinguae, my super commenters who never fail to make me feel special! You're the spine of this journal :D
les_cuki, I want to dedicate The Beautiful Ones for you, since you really took time and effort to look at it, and it made me feel so good. You've always understood my art the way no one else has *squishes*
THE BEAUTIFUL ONES//SELFISH LOVE
//
I tend to rant&ramble loads when posting new art but this time.. I'm not really feeling very deep, so let's go all dotty and you can make your own intepretations etc. If you have any questions, I gladly answer^_^
.THE BEAUTIFUL ONES.
.A2/pencils/red&black marker/watercolor paper
.based on The Beautiful Ones, a song by Poets of the Fall; however, the piece is more inspired by the melancholic composition than the lyrics, though the text, of course, had a strong affect on the picture. (btw, POTF is a fantastic&very diverse band, I recommend with all my heart<3)
.AoixUru.. my GazeOTP and my second favourite jrock pairing ever (after IsshixNao, that is~). For the first time I had a clear visual on what I was doing when I started the picture. Usually I just draw and let the paper&pens do their magic *lol* This time I had a real story, real emotions, real everything to tell you. I'm trying to push my art one step further -no more classical portrays, it's time for a more... graphic, poster-like style.
.Drawing the bloody hole in Uru's stomach was the part I enjoyed the most (tells something about me? *heh*). I really cherish the original picture&photoshoot -there's something utterly mesmerising in the grotesque but so beautiful pictures depicting some of the most natural yet hurtful aspects of being a human. Me likes. Lots.
.Aoi's shades&Uru's hair were INFERNAL. I still think I should attack his hair once more.
.I caught myself softening Uruha's features. I was subconciously trying to make him look more like my Uruha^^
.SELFISH LOVE.
.A2/pencils/watercolor paper
.Miyavi's features are.. to put it nicely, challenging *laughs* I find him beautiful, it's not about that, but really, just.. look at him. Soft, round cheeks, strong yet graceful chin, exotic eyes even in the Japanese standards (because of the Korean blood rushing in his vains?), always a little pouty lips.. All those charming but so different features wrapped into one person, forming a non-symmetrically symmetric face.. *flailing* Try drawing him sometimes and you'll know what I'm explaining here. If you really want to torture yourselves, choose a picture in which he's staring straight at you. Yeah. Exactly. At the first glance his face seems perfect but the longer you study him the more non-symmetrical he turns out to be. Of course that's something one should remember no matter what he's drawing -human's never perfectly symmetrical. Actually, usually the portrait looks better if you don't place the eyes on the exactly same line or if the left one's a tad bit bigger than the right one.. Human mind sees things quite funnily ^^
.The paper wasn't attached to anything when I was taking the photos (someone was holding it up for me), so that's why the photo distorts the dimensions a little. That's why the tile wall looks so ridiculous (really, it is a wall, not a bloody slide xD)
.the girl is still in progress as well as the wall behind them (I'm not going to increase the number of tiles but they'll be darker&stronger&more.. violent)
Well, I obviously failed; that's a rant there, missy. ^_~
Enjoy the fangirlsm~! Feel free to spam me with your feedback. All sorts of ideas&comments are loved and rewarded with.. mead and balloons! :D (Hyvät vaput suomalaisille flistereilleni, ei tätä kai missään muualla juhlita^^)
