Artist's Comments

The final part of a four part series that tracks the progress of a storm.
Kuuro, the colour green and the element Wood are the subject of the final part, showing the completion of the storm and the excess water is being rid of from the trees.

I like how the trees came out, actually, even though I hate drawing trees because of their difficult structure.

--------------------------
I used the wrong end of a brush and black ink for the lines and watercolour to colour. I like the effect of the lines a lot because it was quick, messy and kind of experimental for me.

With this series, I wanted to experiment with ink and how I made lines and I really wanted to draw lots of rain too. I also wanted to draw reasonably interesting backgrounds. play with atmosphere and colours and contrasts and I wanted to work in each characters element.
And finally, I wanted to make sure none of the characters were looking at the viewer, even if they were facing towards them. That's a lot of stuff I wanted to try out, I know, but I think I managed to have a go with all of them :)

Media- Black ink and watercolour
Time- about an hour and a half, very fast.

Very cute. Makes me think of Zelos, from Slayers XD I think a shot of him in the tree and looking at the floor at something would've been cute, too... what? I'm just saying! ^^;

Blame me. I designed Kuuro's new costume, and I have admitted before there was some Slayers inspiration in the outfit. ^_^

I'm glad you liked the way the lines came out because I think they just look chilidish and don't do your talent justice.

OK, this is my second favourite of the four, like storm approaching it really benefits from the overriding use of single base colour throughout. I also really like the styleised tree+raindrops which work really well with the funky outlining. :+fav:

Hehehe, thanks Ed and thanks for the favourite :D

...but I'm sure Sephiroth sometimes walks around saying "Where's my other wing? I mean, I know I'm a god but even gods sometimes have to obey the laws of gravity. I can't fly with only one wing."

Do you think so? Well, that's okay cus I just wanted to play around with linemaking. I guess the lines are kind of bad, aren't they?

But it's okay! I like his costume so much that I don't really care where you got the idea from.

I shall blame you, then. However, I wouldn't take that as a bad thing, if I were you
